The CO-to-H2 Conversion Factor and Dust-to-Gas Ratio on Kiloparsec Scales in Nearby Galaxies
K. M. Sandstrom, A. K. Leroy, F. Walter +42
We present kiloparsec (kpc) spatial resolution maps of the CO-to-H2 conversion factor (alpha_co) and dust-to-gas ratio (DGR) in 26 nearby, star-forming galaxies. We have simultaneo…
CO in late-type galaxies within the central region of Abell 1367
T. C. Scott, A. Usero, E. Brinks +3
We present CO (J = 1 - 0) and CO (J = 2 - 1) spectra for 19 bright, late-type galaxies (spirals) in the central region of the galaxy cluster Abell 1367 (z = 0.02) from observations…
The Stellar and Gas Kinematics of the LITTLE THINGS Dwarf Irregular Galaxy NGC 1569
Megan Johnson, Deidre A. Hunter, Se-Heon Oh +5
In order to understand the formation and evolution of dIm galaxies, one needs to understand their three-dimensional structure. We present measurements of the stellar velocity dispe…
Little Things
Deidre A. Hunter, Dana Ficut-Vicas, Trisha Ashley +14
We present LITTLE THINGS (Local Irregulars That Trace Luminosity Extremes, The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey) that is aimed at determining what drives star formation in dwarf galaxies. T…
Low CO Luminosities in Dwarf Galaxies
Andreas Schruba, Adam K. Leroy, Fabian Walter +10
[Abridged] We present maps of CO 2-1 emission covering the entire star-forming disks of 16 nearby dwarf galaxies observed by the IRAM HERACLES survey. The data have 13 arcsec angul…
Estimating the Star Formation Rate at 1 kpc Scales in Nearby Galaxies
Adam K. Leroy, Frank Bigiel, W. J. G. de Blok +9
Using combinations of Hα, ultraviolet (UV), and infrared (IR) emission, we estimate the star formation rate (SFR) surface density, Σ_SFR, at 1 kpc resolution for 30 disk galaxies t…
