The star formation efficiency in nearby galaxies : measuring where gas forms stars effectively
(2008)
We measure the star formation efficiency (SFE), the star formation rate (SFR) per unit of gas, in 23 nearby galaxies and compare it with expectations from proposed star formation laws and thresholds.We use Hi maps from The ...
THINGS: The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey
(2008)
We present “The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS)”, a high spectral (≤5.2 kms−1) and spatial (~ 6′′) resolution survey of HI emission in 34 nearby galaxies obtained using the NRAO Very Large Array (VLA). The overarching ...
First Results from THINGS: The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2005)
We describe The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS), the largest program ever undertaken at the VLA to perform 21-cm HI observations of the highest quality (» 700, · 5 km s¡1 resolution) of nearby galaxies. The goal of THINGS ...
