The cold interstellar medium (ISM) plays a central role in the galaxy evolution process. It is
the reservoir that fuels galaxy growth via star formation, the repository of material formed by …

This article gives an overview of the constitution, physical conditions, and observables of
dust in the interstellar medium of nearby galaxies. We first review the macroscopic, spatial …

Aims. The goal of this paper is to analyse the behaviour of the gas-to-dust mass ratio (G/D)
of local Universe galaxies over a wide metallicity range. We especially focus on the low …

Star formation in half of massive galaxies was quenched by the time the Universe was 3
billion years old. Very low amounts of molecular gas seem to be responsible for this, at least …

The plasma haloes filling massive galaxies, groups and clusters are shaped by active
galactic nucleus (AGN) heating and subsonic turbulence (σ v∼ 150 km s− 1), as probed by …

Context. The efficiency of the different processes responsible for the evolution of interstellar
dust on the scale of a galaxy are, to date, very uncertain, spanning several orders of …

The majority of long-duration (> 2 s) gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) arise from the collapse of
massive stars, with a small proportion created from the merger of compact objects. Most of …

We present an empirical method of assessing the star formation rate (SFR) of star-forming
galaxies based on their locations in the rest-frame color–color diagram (NUV− r) vs.(r− K) …

We present measurements of the star formation rate (SFR) in the early-type galaxies (ETGs)
of the ATLAS3D sample, based on Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) 22 μm and …

Hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation and evolution attempt to fully model the
physics that shapes galaxies. The agreement between the morphology of simulated and real …
