High-resolution mass models of dwarf galaxies from LITTLE THINGS
(2015-06)
We present high-resolution rotation curves and mass models of 26 dwarf galaxies from LITTLE THINGS. LITTLE THINGS is a high-resolution Very Large Array HI survey for nearby dwarf galaxies in the local volume within 11 Mpc. ...
SKA studies of nearby galaxies : star-formation, accretion processes and molecular gas across all environments
(2015-05-29)
The SKA will be a transformational instrument in the study of our local Universe. In particular, by virtue of its high sensitivity (both to point sources and diffuse low surface brightness emission), angular resolution and ...
The non-thermal superbubble in IC 10 : the generation of cosmic ray electrons caught in the act
(2015-02-01)
Superbubbles are crucial for stellar feedback, with supposedly high (of the order of 10 per cent) thermalization rates. We combined multiband radio continuum observations from the Very Large Array (VLA) with Effelsberg ...
A low H I column density filament in NGC 2403 : signature of interaction or accretion
(2014-09-25)
Observed H i accretion around nearby galaxies can only account for a fraction of the gas supply needed to sustain the currently observed star formation rates. It is possible that additional accretion occurs in the form of ...
The Radio Continuum-Star Formation Rate Relation in WSRT SINGS Galaxies
(2014-04-02)
We present a study of the spatially resolved radio continuum–star formation rate (RC–SFR) relation using stateof-the-art star formation tracers in a sample of 17 THINGS galaxies. We use SFR surface density (ΣSFR) maps ...
Shock Excited Molecules in NGC 1266 : ULIRG Conditions at the Center of a Bulge-dominated Galaxy
(2013-12)
We investigate the far infrared (IR) spectrum of NGC 1266, a S0 galaxy that contains a massive reservoir of highly excited molecular gas. Using the Herschel Fourier Transform Spectrometer, we detect the 12CO ladder up to ...
Carbon monoxide in clouds at low metallicity in the dwarf irregular galaxy WLM
(2013-03-27)
Carbon monoxide (CO) is the primary tracer for interstellar clouds where stars form, but it has never been detected in galaxies in which the oxygen abundance relative to hydrogen is less than 20 per cent of that of the ...
