    • First Results from THINGS: The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey 

      Walter, F.; Brinks, E.; de Blok, W.J.G.; Thornley, M.D.; Kennicutt, R.C. (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 ...

    • The star formation efficiency in nearby galaxies : measuring where gas forms stars effectively 

      Leroy, A.; Walter, F.; Brinks, E.; Bigiel, F.; de Blok, W.J.G.; Madore, B.; Thornley, M.D. (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 ...

      Kennicutt, R.C.; Calzetti, D.; Walter, F.; Helou, G.; Hollenbach, D.; Armus, L.; Bendo, G.; Dale, D.; Draine, B.; Engelbracht, C.; Gordon, K.; Prescott, M.; Regan, M.; Thornley, M.D.; Bot, C.; Brinks, E.; de Blok, W.J.G.; de Mello, D.; Meyer, M.; Moustakas, J.; Murphy, E.; Sheth, K.; Smith, J.D. (2007)

    • The star formation law in nearby galaxies on sub-kpc scales 

      Bigiel, F.; Leroy, A.; Walter, F.; Brinks, E.; de Blok, W.J.G.; Madore, B.; Thornley, M.D. (2008)

    • THINGS: The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey 

      Walter, F.; Brinks, E.; de Blok, W.J.G.; Bigiel, F.; Kennicutt, R.C.; Thornley, M.D.; Leroy, A. (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 ...
