    • A constant molecular gas depletion time in nearby disk galaxies 

      Bigiel, F.; Leroy, A.; Walter, F.; Brinks, E.; de Blok, W.J.G.; Kramer, C.; Rix, H-W.; Schruba, A.; Schuster, K-F.; Usero, A.; Wiesemeyer, H.W. (2011)
      We combine new sensitive, wide-field CO data from the HERACLES survey with ultraviolet and infrared data from GALEX and Spitzer to compare the surface densities of H2, ΣH2, and the recent star formation rate, ΣSFR, over ...
    • Heracles: The HERA CO Line Extragalactic Survey 

      Leroy, A.; Walter, F.; Bigiel, F.; Usero, A.; Weiss, A.; Brinks, E.; de Blok, W.J.G.; Kennicutt, R.C.; Schuster, K-F.; Kramer, C.; Wiesemeyer, H.W.; Roussel, H. (2009)
      We present the Heterodyne Receiver Array CO Line Extragalactic Survey, an atlas of CO emission from 18 nearby galaxies that are also part of The H I Nearby Galaxy Survey and the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey. We ...
    • A molecular star formation law in the atomic-gas-dominated regime in nearby galaxies 

      Schruba, A.; Leroy, A.; Walter, F.; Bigiel, F.; Brinks, E.; de Blok, W.J.G.; Dumas, G.; Kramer, C.; Rosolowsky, E.; Sandstrom, K.; Schuster, K-F.; Usero, Antonio; Weiss, A.; Wiesemeyer, H.W. (2011)
      We use the IRAM HERACLES survey to study CO emission from 33 nearby spiral galaxies down to very low intensities. Using 21 cm line atomic hydrogen (H I) data, mostly from THINGS, we predict the local mean CO velocity based ...
