CARMA Survey Toward Infrared-bright Nearby Galaxies (STING) II: Molecular Gas Star Formation Law and Depletion Time Across the Blue Sequence
Nurur Rahman, Alberto D. Bolatto, Rui Xue +10
We present an analysis of the relationship between molecular gas and current star formation rate surface density at sub-kpc and kpc scales in a sample of 14 nearby star-forming gal…
A Molecular Star Formation Law in the Atomic Gas Dominated Regime in Nearby Galaxies
Andreas Schruba, Adam K. Leroy, Fabian Walter +11
We use the IRAM HERACLES survey to study CO emission from 33 nearby spiral galaxies down to very low intensities. Using atomic hydrogen (HI) data, mostly from THINGS, we predict th…
The CO-to-H2 Conversion Factor From Infrared Dust Emission Across the Local Group
Adam K. Leroy, Alberto Bolatto, Karl Gordon +8
We estimate the conversion factor relating CO emission to H2 mass, alpha_CO, in five Local Group galaxies that span approximately an order of magnitude in metallicity - M31, M 33,…
