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 …

Understanding the physical mechanisms that control galaxy formation is a fundamental
challenge in contemporary astrophysics. Recent advances in the field of astrophysical …

We present PHANGS–ALMA, the first survey to map CO J= 2→ 1 line emission at∼ 1''∼ 100
pc spatial resolution from a representative sample of 90 nearby (d≲ 20 Mpc) galaxies that lie …

We use accurate estimates of aluminium abundance from the APOGEE Data Release 17
and Gaia Early Data Release 3 astrometry to select a highly pure sample of stars with …

We present the PHANGS-MUSE survey, a programme that uses the MUSE integral field
spectrograph at the ESO VLT to map 19 massive (9.4< log (M⋆/M⊙)< 11.0) nearby (D≲ 20 …

We present a rich, multiwavelength, multiscale database built around the PHANGS–ALMA
CO (2− 1) survey and ancillary data. We use this database to present the distributions of …

The processes of star formation and feedback, regulating the cycle of matter between gas
and stars on the scales of giant molecular clouds (GMCs;∼ 100 pc), play a major role in …

Ionized nebulae provide critical insights into the conditions of the interstellar medium (ISM).
Their bright emission lines enable the measurement of physical properties, such as the gas …

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 …

Giant molecular clouds (GMCs) are the sites of star formation and stellar feedback in
galaxies. Their properties set the initial conditions for star formation and their lifecycles …
