Resolved Properties of Extragalactic Giant Molecular Clouds
Alberto D. Bolatto, Adam K. Leroy, Erik Rosolowsky +2
Giant molecular clouds (GMCs) are the major reservoirs of molecular gas in galaxies, and the starting point for star formation. As such, their properties play a key role in setting…
A Metallicity Map of M33
Joshua D. Simon, Erik Rosolowsky
We present initial results from the M33 Metallicity Project. Out of the thousands of cataloged HII regions in M33, only ~30 have electron-temperature based abundances in the litera…
Hierarchical Star-Formation in M33: Fundamental properties of the star-forming regions
N. Bastian, B. Ercolano, M. Gieles +4
Star-formation within galaxies appears on multiple scales, from spiral structure, to OB associations, to individual star clusters, and often sub-structure within these clusters. Th…
The Initial Mass Function of GMCs
Leo Blitz, Erik Rosolowsky
The properties of GMCs in several Local Group galaxies are quantified and compared. It is found that the mass spectrum of GMCs varies from galaxy to galaxy. The variations are sign…
GMC Formation in M33: the Role of Pressure
Leo Blitz, Erik Rosolowsky
We present a complete map of the Giant Molecular Clouds in M33 and show that they lie exclusively on filaments of HI. The GMCs are localized on the extended HI filaments, and HI fi…
