Cloud-scale molecular gas properties in 15 nearby galaxies

J Sun, AK Leroy, A Schruba… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We measure the velocity dispersion, σ, and surface density, Σ, of the molecular gas in
nearby galaxies from CO spectral line cubes with spatial resolution 45–120 pc, matched to …
