    • Cloud-scale ISM Structure and Star Formation in M51 
      Leroy, Adam K.; Schinnerer, Eva; Hughes, Annie; Kruijssen, J. M.Diederik; Meidt, Sharon; Schruba, Andreas; Sun, Jiayi; Bigiel, Frank; Aniano, Gonzalo; Blanc Mendiberri, Guillermo; Bolatto, Alberto; Chevance, Mélanie; Colombo, Dario; Gallagher, Molly; García Burillo, Santiago; Kramer, Carsten; Querejeta, Miguel; Pety, Jerome; Thompson, Todd A.; Usero, Antonio (Institute of Physics, 2017)
      We compare the structure of molecular gas at 40pc resolution to the ability of gas to form stars across the disk of the spiral galaxy M51. We break the PAWS survey into 370pc and 1.1kpc resolution elements, and within ...
    • Millimeter-wave Line Ratios and Sub-beam Volume Density Distributions 
      Leroy, Adam K.; Usero, Antonio; Schruba, Andreas; Bigiel, Frank; Kruijssen, J. M.Diederik; Kepley, Amanda; Blanc Mendiberri, Guillermo; Bolatto, Alberto D.; Cormier, Diane; Gallagher, Molly; Hughes, Annie; Jiménez Donaire, María J.; Rosolowsky, Erik; Schinnerer, Eva (IOP Publishing, 2017)
      We explore the use of mm-wave emission line ratios to trace molecular gas density when observations integrate over a wide range of volume densities within a single telescope beam. For observations targeting external galaxies, ...
