Dense molecular gas properties on 100 pc scales across the disc of NGC 3627

I. Bešlić, A. T. Barnes, F. Bigiel +29

It is still poorly constrained how the densest phase of the interstellar medium varies across galactic environment. A large observing time is required to recover significant emissi…

PHANGS-ALMA Data Processing and Pipeline

Adam K. Leroy, Annie Hughes, Daizhong Liu +65

We describe the processing of the PHANGS-ALMA survey and present the PHANGS-ALMA pipeline, a public software package that processes calibrated interferometric and total power data…

Star formation scaling relations at ~100 pc from PHANGS: Impact of completeness and spatial scale

I. Pessa, E. Schinnerer, F. Belfiore +31

Aims: The complexity of star formation at the physical scale of molecular clouds is not yet fully understood. We investigate the mechanisms regulating the formation of stars in dif…

The organization of cloud-scale gas density structure: high resolution CO vs. 3.6 m brightness contrasts in nearby galaxies

Sharon E. Meidt, Adam K. Leroy, Miguel Querejeta +29

In this paper we examine the factors that shape the distribution of molecular gas surface densities on the 150 pc scale across 67 morphologically diverse star-forming galaxies in t…

New Constraints on the CO(2-1)/(1-0) Line Ratio Across Nearby Disc Galaxies

J. S. den Brok, D. Chatzigiannakis, F. Bigiel +18

Both the CO(2-1) and CO(1-0) lines are used to trace the mass of molecular gas in galaxies. Translating the molecular gas mass estimates between studies using different lines requi…

Simultaneous Deep Measurements of CO isotopologues and Dust Emission in Giant Molecular Clouds in the Andromeda Galaxy

Sébastien Viaene, Jan Forbrich, Charles J. Lada +2

We present simultaneous measurements of emission from dust continuum at 230 GHz and the J=2-1 CO, CO and CO isotopologues at 15 pc resolution from indiv…
