Low CO luminosities in dwarf galaxies
(2012-05-07)
We present maps of (12)COJ = 2-1 emission covering the entire star-forming disks of 16 nearby dwarf galaxies observed by the IRAM HERACLES survey. The data have 13 '' angular resolution, similar to 250 pc at our average ...
Two long HI tails in the outskirts of Abell 1367
(2012-01-01)
We present VLA D-array Hi observations of the RSCG42 and FGC1287 galaxy groups, in the outskirts of the Abell 1367 cluster. These groups are projected ∼1.8 and 2.7Mpc west from the cluster centre. The Arecibo Galaxy ...
Deep radio continuum imaging of the dwarf irregular galaxy IC 10: tracing star formation and magnetic fields
(2011-09-20)
We exploit the vastly increased sensitivity of the Expanded Very Large Array to study the radio continuum and polarization properties of the post-starburst, dwarf irregular galaxy IC 10 at 6 cm, at a linear resolution of ...
H I asymmetries in the isolated galaxy CIG 292
(2011-09-20)
We present Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA) D-array observations of the 21 cm line of neutral hydrogen (H-I) of CIG 292, an isolated SA(s)b galaxy at a distance of similar to 24.3 Mpc. From previous Hi single dish observations ...
Studying the spatially resolved Schmidt-Kennicutt law in interacting galaxies : The case of Arp 158
(2011-09)
Context. Recent studies have shown that star formation in mergers does not seem to follow the same Schmidt-Kennicutt relation as in spiral disks, presenting a higher star formation rate (SFR) for a given gas column density. ...
VII Zw 403: H I structure in a blue compact dwarf galaxy
(2011-09)
We present optical (UBVJ), ultraviolet (FUV, NUV), and high-resolution atomic hydrogen (H I) observations of the nearby blue compact dwarf (BCD), VII Zw 403. We find that VII Zw 403 has a relatively high H I mass-to-light ...
Theoretical determination of HI vertical scale heights in the dwarf galaxies DDO 154, Ho II, IC 2574 and NGC 2366
(2011-07)
In this paper, we model dwarf galaxies as a two-component system of gravitationally coupled stars and atomic hydrogen gas in the external force field of a pseudo-isothermal dark matter halo, and numerically obtain the ...
Dark and luminous matter in THINGS dwarf galaxies
(2011)
We present mass models for the dark matter component of seven dwarf galaxies taken from "The H I Nearby Galaxy Survey" (THINGS) and compare these with those taken from numerical Λ cold dark matter (ΛCDM) simulations. The ...
The fine-scale structure of the neutral interstellar medium in nearby galaxies
(2011)
We present an analysis of the properties of H I holes detected in 20 galaxies that are part of "The H I Nearby Galaxy Survey." We detected more than 1000 holes in total in the sampled galaxies. Where they can be measured, ...
A constant molecular gas depletion time in nearby disk galaxies
(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 ...
