The Star Formation Efficiency in Nearby Galaxies: Measuring Where Gas Forms Stars Effectively
Adam Leroy,Fabian Walter,Elias Brinks,Frank Bigiel,W. J. G. de Blok,W. J. G. de Blok,Barry F. Madore,Michele D. Thornley +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the star formation efficiency (SFE) per unit of gas in 23 nearby galaxies and compare it with expectations from proposed star formation laws and thresholds was measured, and the authors interpreted this decline as a strong dependence of giant molecular cloud (GMC) formation on environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Star Formation Law in Nearby Galaxies on Sub-Kpc Scales
Frank Bigiel,Adam Leroy,Fabian Walter,Elias Brinks,W. J. G. de Blok,Barry F. Madore,Michele D. Thornley +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between star formation rate surface density and gas surface density at sub-kpc resolution in a sample of 18 nearby galaxies and investigate how the star formation law differs between the H2 dominated centers of spiral galaxies, their H I dominated outskirts and the H I rich late-type/dwarf galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Things:the hi nearby galaxy survey
Fabian Walter,Elias Brinks,W. J. G. de Blok,Frank Bigiel,Robert C. Kennicutt,Michele D. Thornley,Adam Leroy +6 more
TL;DR: The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS) as discussed by the authors is a high spectral (≤52kms −1 ) and spatial (∼ 6 ′′ ) resolution survey of HI emission in 34 nearby galaxies obtained using the NRAO Very Large Array (VLA).

TL;DR: The SIRTF Nearby Galaxy Survey (SINGS) as mentioned in this paper is a comprehensive infrared imaging and spectroscopic survey of 75 nearby galaxies and its primary goal is to characterize the infrared emission of galaxies and their principal infrared-emitting components across a broad range of galaxy properties and star formation environments.
