Funded Activity Summary

Look closer: transforming the view of clumpy, turbulent galaxies. This project aims to make transformative measurements of gas mass, star formation and stellar mass of turbulent disk galaxies all at 100 parsec resolution. Roughly 80 percent of stars form in turbulent, clumpy disk galaxies. There is however almost no information about the star formation in these systems. The small amount of data that does exist suggests that the main mode of star formation in the Universe is different than in local spiral galaxies. In turbulent disks, star formation takes place in dense clumps. Using new data from the new ALMA telescope an expected outcome of this project is a systematic study of gas and star formation in clumpy, turbulent disks. The project will also use Keck and HST data to measure the stellar mass of clumps.
