A Model for the Onset of Self-gravitation and Star Formation in Molecular Gas Governed by Galactic Forces: I. Cloud-scale Gas Motions

Sharon E. Meidt, Adam K. Leroy, Erik Rosolowsky +10

Modern extragalactic molecular gas surveys now reach the scales of star-forming giant molecular clouds (GMCs, 20-50 pc). Systematic variations in GMC properties with galaxy environ…

The EDGE-CALIFA survey: the influence of galactic rotation on the molecular depletion time across the Hubble sequence

D. Colombo, V. Kalinova, D. Utomo +15

We present a kpc-scale analysis of the relationship between the molecular depletion time () and the orbital time () across the field of…

The Green Bank Ammonia Survey: Observations of Hierarchical Dense Gas Structures in Cepheus-L1251

Jared Keown, James Di Francesco, Helen Kirk +20

We use Green Bank Ammonia Survey observations of NH (1,1) and (2,2) emission with 32'' FWHM resolution from a ~ 10 pc portion of the Cepheus-L1251 molecular cloud to iden…

CARMA Survey toward Infrared-bright Nearby Galaxies (STING). IV. Spatially Resolved 13CO in Spiral Galaxies

Yixian Cao, Tony Wong, Rui Xue +5

We present a mapping survey of 12 nearby galaxies from the CARMA STING sample. The line intensity ratio $\mathcal{R} \equiv I[^{12}\mathrm{…
