Do Spectroscopic Dense Gas Fractions Track Molecular Cloud Surface Densities?

Molly J. Gallagher, Adam K. Leroy, Frank Bigiel +22

We use ALMA and IRAM 30-m telescope data to investigate the relationship between the spectroscopically-traced dense gas fraction and the cloud-scale (120 pc) molecular gas surface…

Dense Molecular Gas in the Nearby Low Metallicity Dwarf Starburst Galaxy IC 10

Amanda A. Kepley, Lauren Bittle, Adam K. Leroy +6

Dense molecular gas and star formation are correlated in galaxies. The effect of low metallicity on this relationship is crucial for interpreting observations of high redshift gala…

Dense Gas, Dynamical Equilibrium Pressure, and Star Formation in Nearby Star-Forming Galaxies

Molly J. Gallagher, Adam K. Leroy, Frank Bigiel +17

We use new ALMA observations to investigate the connection between dense gas fraction, star formation rate, and local environment across the inner region of four local galaxies sho…

Full-disc CO(1-0) mapping across nearby galaxies of the EMPIRE survey and the CO-to-H conversion factor

D. Cormier, F. Bigiel, M. J. Jiménez-Donaire +16

Carbon monoxide (CO) provides crucial information about the molecular gas properties of galaxies. While CO has been targeted extensively, isotopologues such as CO hav…
