In this talk I will present the first complete 12CO J=3-2 map of M81, observed as part of the Nearby Galaxies Legacy Survey. We have detected nine regions of...
The Distribution of Star Formation in the Central Regions of Spiral Galaxies
Nuclear rings are characterized by their high star formation rates, and are believed to be the products of gas inflow towards the inner regions of spiral...
The new observational O/Fe vs Fe/H relationship in halo dwarfs is analyzed in terms of a model of chemical evolution for the solar neighborhood. The role of...
The EDGE-CALIFA Survey: An Extragalactic Database for Galaxy Evolution Studies
The EDGE-CALIFA survey provides spatially resolved optical integral-field unit and CO spectroscopy for 125 galaxies selected from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral...
The EDGE-CALIFA survey: exploring the role of molecular gas on galaxy star formation quenching
Understanding how galaxies cease to form stars represents an outstanding challenge for galaxy evolution theories. This process of "star formation quenching" has...
The EDGE-CALIFA survey: The effect of active galactic nucleus feedback on the integrated properties of galaxies at different stages of their evolution
Galaxy quenching, the intricate process through which galaxies transition from active star-forming states to retired ones, remains a complex phenomenon that...
The EDGE-CALIFA survey: the influence of galactic rotation on the molecular depletion time across the Hubble sequence
We present a kpc-scale analysis of the relationship between the molecular depletion time (τ^mol_dep) and the orbital time (τorb) across the field of 39 face-on...
The EDGE–CALIFA Survey: Variations in the Molecular Gas Depletion Time in Local Galaxies
We present results from the EDGE survey, a spatially resolved CO(1‑0) follow-up to CALIFA, an optical Integral Field Unit survey of local galaxies. By combining...
