JWST Reveals Star Formation Across a Spiral Arm in M33

J. Peltonen, Erik Rosolowsky, Thomas G. Williams +13

Young stellar objects (YSOs) are the gold standard for tracing star formation in galaxies but have been unobservable beyond the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds. But that all change…

The EDGE-CALIFA survey: Molecular Gas and Star Formation Activity Across the Green Valley

Vicente Villanueva, Alberto D. Bolatto, Stuart N. Vogel +11

We present a CO(=2-1) survey of 60 local galaxies using data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Compact Array as part of the Extragalactic Database for Galax…

The PHANGS-AstroSat Atlas of Nearby Star Forming Galaxies

Hamid Hassani, Erik Rosolowsky, Eric W. Koch +29

We present the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS)-AstroSat atlas, which contains ultraviolet imaging of 31 nearby star-forming galaxies captured by the…

A Two-Component Probability Distribution Function Describes the mid-IR Emission from the Disks of Star-Forming Galaxies

Debosmita Pathak, Adam K. Leroy, Todd A. Thompson +28

High-resolution JWST-MIRI images of nearby spiral galaxies reveal emission with complex substructures that trace dust heated both by massive young stars and the diffuse interstella…

GBT/Argus Observations of Molecular Gas in the Inner Regions of IC 342

Jialu Li, Andrew I Harris, Erik Rosolowsky +9

We report observations of the ground state transitions of CO, CO CO, HCN, and HCO at 88-115 GHz in the inner region of the nearby galaxy IC 342. These data…

Resolved low-J CO excitation at 190 parsec resolution across NGC 2903 and NGC 3627

J. S. den Brok, A. K. Leroy, A. Usero +14

The low- rotational transitions of CO are commonly used to trace the distribution of molecular gas in galaxies. Their ratios are sensitive to excitation and physical cond…
