Spatially Resoved 12CO(2-1)/12CO(1-0) in the Starburst Galaxy NGC 253: Assessing Optical Depth to Constrain the Molecular Mass Outflow Rate

Laura K. Zschaechner, Alberto D. Bolatto, Fabian Walter +9

We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of 12CO(1-0) and 12CO(2-1) in the central 40" (680 pc) of the nuclear starburst galaxy NGC 253, includin…

Study of the molecular gas towards the N11 region in the Large Magellanic Cloud

M. Celis Peña, M. Rubio, S. Paron +1

We study three subregions in the HII region N11 which is located at the northeast side of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We used CO and CO J=3--2 data observed wit…

The Star Formation Efficiency per Free Fall Time in Nearby Galaxies

Dyas Utomo, Jiayi Sun, Adam K. Leroy +16

We estimate the star formation efficiency per gravitational free fall time, , from observations of nearby galaxies with resolution matched to the typical size of a Gian…

High-speed molecular cloudlets around the Galactic Center supermassive black hole

Javier R. Goicoechea, J. Pety, E. Chapillon +5

We present 1"-resolution ALMA observations of the circumnuclear disk (CND) and the environment around SgrA*. The images unveil the presence of small spatial scale CO (J=3-2) molecu…

NOEMA Observations of a Molecular Cloud in the low-metallicity Galaxy Kiso 5639

Bruce G. Elmegreen, Cinthya Herrera, Monica Rubio +4

A giant star-forming region in a metal-poor dwarf galaxy has been observed in optical lines with the 10-m Gran Telescopio Canarias and in the emission line of CO(1-0) with the NOEM…

Cloud-Scale Molecular Gas Properties in 15 Nearby Galaxies

Jiayi Sun, Adam K. Leroy, Andreas Schruba +16

We measure the velocity dispersion, , and surface density, , of the molecular gas in nearby galaxies from CO spectral line cubes with spatial resolution - pc, matche…
