The cold interstellar medium of galaxies in the local universe

A Saintonge, B Catinella - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2022 - annualreviews.org
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 …

Ram pressure strip** in high-density environments

A Boselli, M Fossati, M Sun - The Astronomy and astrophysics review, 2022 - Springer
Galaxies living in rich environments are suffering different perturbations able to drastically
affect their evolution. Among these, ram pressure strip**, ie the pressure exerted by the …

High-redshift star formation in the Atacama large millimetre/submillimetre array era

JA Hodge, E da Cunha - Royal Society Open Science, 2020 - royalsocietypublishing.org
The Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA) is currently in the process of
transforming our view of star-forming galaxies in the distant (z≳ 1) universe. Before ALMA …

Tracing the total molecular gas in galaxies:[CII] and the CO-dark gas

SC Madden, D Cormier, S Hony, V Lebouteiller… - Astronomy & …, 2020 - aanda.org
Context. Molecular gas is a necessary fuel for star formation. The CO (1− 0) transition is
often used to deduce the total molecular hydrogen but is challenging to detect in low …

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)
