CO isotopologue-derived molecular gas conditions and CO-to-H conversion factors in M51

Jakob den Brok, María J. Jiménez-Donaire, Adam Leroy +24

Over the past decade, several millimeter interferometer programs have mapped the nearby star-forming galaxy M51 at a spatial resolution of pc. This study combines observ…

PHANGS-MeerKAT and MHONGOOSE HI observations of nearby spiral galaxies: physical drivers of the molecular gas fraction,

Cosima Eibensteiner, Jiayi Sun, Frank Bigiel +36

The molecular-to-atomic gas ratio is crucial to the evolution of the interstellar medium in galaxies. We investigate the balance between the atomic () and molecular gas…

The properties and kinematics of HCN emission across the closest starburst galaxy NGC 253 observed with ALMA

Ivana Beslic, Ashley T. Barnes, Frank Bigiel +21

Studying molecular gas in nearby galaxies using hydrogen cyanide (HCN) as a tracer for higher densities than CO emission still poses a significant challenge. Even though several ga…

The ALMaQUEST Survey XII: Dense Molecular Gas as traced by HCN and HCO in Green Valley Galaxies

Lihwai Lin, Hsi-An Pan, Sara L. Ellison +11

We present ALMA observations of two dense gas tracers, HCN(1-0) and HCO(1-0), for three galaxies in the green valley and two galaxies on the star-forming main sequence with c…

JWST Observations of Starbursts: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission at the Base of the M 82 Galactic Wind

Alberto D. Bolatto, Rebecca C. Levy, Elizabeth Tarantino +37

We present new observations of the central 1 kpc of the M 82 starburst obtained with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) near-infrared camera (NIRCam) instrument at a resolution…

Hidden Gems on a Ring: Infant Massive Clusters and Their Formation Timeline Unveiled by ALMA, HST, and JWST in NGC 3351

Jiayi Sun, Hao He, Kyle Batschkun +38

We study young massive clusters (YMCs) in their embedded "infant" phase with ALMA, HST, and JWST observations targeting the central starburst ring in NGC…
