Over the past decade, observations of the cool interstellar medium (ISM) in distant galaxies
via molecular and atomic fine structure line (FSL) emission have gone from a curious look …

All measurements of cosmic star formation must assume an initial distribution of stellar
masses—the stellar initial mass function—in order to extrapolate from the star-formation rate …

Dusty star-forming galaxies at high redshift (1< z< 3) represent the most intense star-forming
regions in the universe. Key aspects to these processes are the gas heating and cooling …

We present the CO isotopologue Line Atlas within the Whirpool galaxy Survey (CLAWS),
which is based on an IRAM 30 m large programme that provides a benchmark study of …

ABSTRACT We present Herschel Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver Fourier
Transform Spectrometer (Herschel SPIRE-FTS) observations of Arp 220, a nearby ultra …

We have used the Institut de Radioastronomie Millimétrique (IRAM) Plateau de Bure
Interferometer and the Expanded Very Large Array to obtain a high-resolution map of the CO …

We report results from a large molecular line survey of luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs; L
IR≳ 1011L⊙) in the local Universe (z≤ 0.1), conducted during the last decade with the …

ABSTRACT We present FIR [50–300 μm]− CO luminosity relations (ie, $\log L_ {\rm
FIR}=\alpha\log L^{\prime} _ {\rm CO}+\beta $) for the full CO rotational ladder from J= 1–0 …

The far-infrared (FIR) and radio luminosities of star-forming galaxies are linearly correlated
over a very wide range in star formation rate, from normal spirals like the Milky Way to the …

We use state-of-the-art chemical models to track the cosmic evolution of the CNO isotopes in
the interstellar medium of galaxies, yielding powerful constraints on their stellar initial mass …
