The CO-to-H2 Conversion Factor

AD Bolatto, M Wolfire, AK Leroy - Annual Review of Astronomy …, 2013 - annualreviews.org
CO line emission represents the most accessible and widely used tracer of the molecular
ISM. This renders the translation of observed CO intensity into total H2 gas mass critical to …

Massive molecular outflows and evidence for AGN feedback from CO observations

C Cicone, R Maiolino, E Sturm, J Graciá-Carpio… - Astronomy & …, 2014 - aanda.org

Low-J CO Line Ratios from Single-dish CO Mapping Surveys and PHANGS-ALMA

AK Leroy, E Rosolowsky, A Usero… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We measure the low-J CO line ratios R 21≡ CO (2–1)/CO (1–0), R 32≡ CO (3–2)/CO (2–1),
and R 31≡ CO (3–2)/CO (1–0) using whole-disk CO maps of nearby galaxies. We draw CO …

Dust, CO, and [C i]: cross-calibration of molecular gas mass tracers in metal-rich galaxies across cosmic time

L Dunne, SJ Maddox, PP Papadopoulos… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
We present a self-consistent cross-calibration of the three main molecular gas mass tracers
in galaxies, namely the 12CO (1–0),[C i](3 P 1–3 P 0) lines, and the submm dust continuum …

Molecular line emission in NGC 1068 imaged with ALMA-I. An AGN-driven outflow in the dense molecular gas

Aims. We investigate the fueling and the feedback of star formation and nuclear activity in
NGC 1068, a nearby (D= 14 Mpc) Seyfert 2 barred galaxy, by analyzing the distribution and …

The evolving interstellar medium of star-forming galaxies since z= 2 as probed by their infrared spectral energy distributions

GE Magdis, E Daddi, M Béthermin… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Using data from the mid-infrared to millimeter wavelengths for individual galaxies and for

The CO-to-H2 conversion factor and dust-to-gas ratio on kiloparsec scales in nearby galaxies

KM Sandstrom, AK Leroy, F Walter… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We present∼ kiloparsec spatial resolution maps of the CO-to-H 2 conversion factor (α CO)
