The transformation of cold neutral intergalactic hydrogen into a highly ionized warm plasma
marks the end of the cosmic dark ages and the beginning of the age of galaxies. The details …

Observations that resolve nearby galaxies into individual regions across multiple phases of
the gas–star formation feedback “matter cycle” have provided a sharp new view of molecular …

We identify stellar structures in the PHANGS sample of 74 nearby galaxies and construct
morphological masks of sub-galactic environments based on Spitzer 3.6 μm images. At the …

We measure empirical relationships between the local star formation rate (SFR) and
properties of the star-forming molecular gas on 1.5 kpc scales across 80 nearby galaxies …

The star formation rate (SFR) in galactic disks depends on both the quantity of the available
interstellar medium (ISM) gas and its physical state. Conversely, the ISM's physical state …

Aims. The complexity of star formation at the physical scale of molecular clouds is not yet
fully understood. We investigate the mechanisms regulating the formation of stars in different …

The feedback from young stars (ie pre-supernova) is thought to play a crucial role in
molecular cloud destruction. In this paper, we assess the feedback mechanisms acting …

Galaxy mergers are known to trigger both extended and central star formation. However,
what remains to be understood is whether this triggered star formation is facilitated by …

Aims. There exists some consensus that the stellar mass surface density (Σ⋆) and molecular
gas mass surface density (Σ mol) are the main quantities responsible for locally setting the …

We present a high-resolution view of bubbles within the Phantom Galaxy (NGC 628), a
nearby (∼ 10 Mpc), star-forming (∼ 2 M⊙ yr− 1), face-on (i∼ 9) grand-design spiral galaxy …
