PHANGS-MUSE: the HII region luminosity function of local star-forming galaxies
Francesco Santoro, Kathryn Kreckel, Francesco Belfiore +30
We use an unprecedented sample of about 23,000 HII regions detected at an average physical resolution of 67pc in the PHANGS-MUSE sample to study the extragalactic HII region Ha lum…
A tale of two DIGs: The relative role of HII regions and low-mass hot evolved stars in powering the diffuse ionised gas (DIG) in PHANGS-MUSE galaxies
Francesco Belfiore, Francesco Santoro, Brent Groves +17
We use integral field spectroscopy from the PHANGS-MUSE survey, which resolves the ionised interstellar medium at pc resolution in 19 nearby spiral galaxies, to study th…
An IFU View of the Active Galactic Nuclei in MaNGA Galaxy Pairs
Gaoxiang Jin, Y. Sophia Dai, Hsi-An Pan +10
The role of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) during galaxy interactions and how they influence the star formation in the system are still under debate. We use a sample of 1156 galaxie…
The Two-Dimensional Metallicity Distribution and Mixing Scales of Nearby Galaxies
Thomas G. Williams, Kathryn Kreckel, Francesco Belfiore +25
Understanding the spatial distribution of metals within galaxies allows us to study the processes of chemical enrichment and mixing in the interstellar medium (ISM). In this work,…
The PHANGS-MUSE survey -- Probing the chemo-dynamical evolution of disc galaxies
Eric Emsellem, Eva Schinnerer, Francesco Santoro +45
We present the PHANGS-MUSE survey, a programme using the MUSE IFS at the ESO VLT to map 19 massive nearby (D < 20 Mpc) star-forming disc galaxi…
Low-J CO Line Ratios From Single Dish CO Mapping Surveys and PHANGS-ALMA
Adam K. Leroy, Erik Rosolowsky, Antonio Usero +32
We measure the low-J CO line ratio R21=CO(2-1)/CO(1-0), R32=CO(3-2)/CO(2-1), and R31 = CO(3-2)/CO(1-0) using whole-disk CO maps of nearby galaxies. We draw CO(2-1) from PHANGS--ALM…
