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…
A Statistical Investigation of HI in the Magellanic Bridge
E. Muller, S. Stanimirovic, E. Rosolowsky +1
We present results from two statistical analyses applied to an neutral hydrogen (HI) dataset of the nearby tidal bridge in the Magellanic System. Primarily, analyses of the Spatial…
The Role of Pressure in GMC Formation
Leo Blitz, Erik Rosolowsky
We examine the hypothesis that hydrostatic pressure alone determines the ratio of atomic to molecular gas averaged over a particular radius in disk galaxies. The hypothesis implies…
