On the duration of the embedded phase of star formation

Jaeyeon Kim, Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +23

Feedback from massive stars plays a key role in molecular cloud evolution. After the onset of star formation, the young stellar population is exposed by photoionization, winds, sup…

Pre-supernova feedback mechanisms drive the destruction of molecular clouds in nearby star-forming disc galaxies

Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Mark R. Krumholz +28

It is a major open question which physical processes stop the accretion of gas onto giant molecular clouds (GMCs) and limit the efficiency at which gas is converted into stars with…

PHANGS CO kinematics: disk orientations and rotation curves at 150 pc resolution

Philipp Lang, Sharon E. Meidt, Erik Rosolowsky +24

We present kinematic orientations and high resolution (150 pc) rotation curves for 67 main sequence star-forming galaxies surveyed in CO (2-1) emission by PHANGS-ALMA. Our measurem…

ALMA Observations of the Molecular Clouds in NGC 625

Nia Imara, Ilse De Looze, Christopher M. Faesi +1

We present the highest resolution (1") CO(1-0) observations of molecular gas in the dwarf starburst galaxy NGC 625, to date, obtained with ALMA. Molecular gas is distributed…

Dynamical Equilibrium in the Molecular ISM in 28 Nearby Star-Forming Galaxies

Jiayi Sun, Adam K. Leroy, Eve C. Ostriker +26

We compare the observed turbulent pressure in molecular gas, , to the required pressure for the interstellar gas to stay in equilibrium in the gravitational potent…
