Journal ArticleDOI
The Relationship between Gas Content and Star Formation in Molecule-rich Spiral Galaxies
Tony Wong,Tony Wong,Leo Blitz +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between H I, H 2, and the star formation rate (SFR) using azimuthally averaged data for seven CO-bright spiral galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Resolved Properties of Extragalactic Giant Molecular Clouds
TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution observations of CO were used to systematically measure the resolved size-line width, luminosity line width, and luminosity-size, and mass-luminosity relations of GMCs in a variety of extragalactic systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extremely Inefficient Star Formation in the Outer Disks of Nearby Galaxies
Frank Bigiel,Frank Bigiel,Adam Leroy,Adam Leroy,Fabian Walter,Leo Blitz,Elias Brinks,W. J. G. de Blok,Barry F. Madore +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between atomic hydrogen (Hi) and far-ultraviolet (FUV) emission outside the optical radius (r25 )i n 17 spiral and 5 dwarf galaxies was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-resolution measurements of the halos of four dark matter-dominated galaxies: deviations from a universal density profile
Joshua D. Simon,Joshua D. Simon,Alberto D. Bolatto,Alberto D. Bolatto,Adam Leroy,Adam Leroy,Leo Blitz,Elinor L. Gates +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived rotation curves for four nearby, low-mass spiral galaxies and used them to constrain the shapes of their dark matter density profiles, showing that while galaxies with the steep central density cusps predicted by cold dark matter (CDM) simulations do exist, they are in the minority.
Journal ArticleDOI
Giant Molecular Clouds in M33. I. BIMA All-Disk Survey
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the first interferometric 12CO (J = 1 → 0) map of the entire Hα disk of M33 and generated a catalog of 148 GMCs with an expectation that no more than 15 of the sources are spurious.
