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 …

The interstellar dust properties of nearby galaxies

F Galliano, M Galametz, AP Jones - Annual Review of …, 2018 - annualreviews.org

dust in the interstellar medium of nearby galaxies. We first review the macroscopic, spatial …

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

Molecular gas and star formation in nearby disk galaxies

AK Leroy, F Walter, K Sandstrom… - The Astronomical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We compare molecular gas traced by 12 CO (2–1) maps from the HERACLES survey, with
tracers of the recent star formation rate (SFR) across 30 nearby disk galaxies. We …

The HDUV Survey: a revised assessment of the relationship between UV slope and dust attenuation for high-redshift galaxies

NA Reddy, PA Oesch, RJ Bouwens… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We use a newly assembled sample of 3545 star-forming galaxies with secure spectroscopic,
grism, and photometric redshifts at z= 1.5–2.5 to constrain the relationship between UV …

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

GE Magdis, E Daddi, M Bethermin… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Using data from the mid-infrared to millimeter wavelengths for individual galaxies and for
stacked ensembles at 0.5< z< 2, we derive robust estimates of dust masses (M dust) for main …

Gas-to-dust mass ratios in local galaxies over a 2 dex metallicity range

A Rémy-Ruyer, SC Madden, F Galliano… - Astronomy & …, 2014 - aanda.org
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 …

The CO-to-H2 conversion factor from infrared dust emission across the local group

AK Leroy, A Bolatto, K Gordon… - The Astrophysical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We estimate the conversion factor relating CO emission to H 2 mass, α CO, in five Local
Group galaxies that span approximately an order of magnitude in metallicity—M 31, M 33 …

The constant average relationship between dust-obscured star formation and stellar mass from z= 0 to z= 2.5

KE Whitaker, A Pope, R Cybulski… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
The total star formation budget of galaxies consists of the sum of the unobscured star
formation, as observed in the rest-frame ultraviolet (UV), together with the obscured …
