🆕✨My latest paper is on arXiv! We study the molecular gas ratio and how it depends on local conditions in nearby galaxy disks using multi-wavelength observations. New and astonishing MeerKAT HI observations from the PHANGS and MHONGOOSE collaborations.

Guest post by Hamid Hassani: How do we learn about the environments in which stars form? Today’s guest post by Hamid Hassani describes what we’ve learned about stellar birthplaces with JWST! 🔭✨️

My PhD defense is happening this Thursday (May 30) at 10 AM PT!
Anyone interested is welcome to join in person or on Zoom 🙂
Thesis title: Molecular Gas and Star Formation in Nearby Galaxy Centers
Location: SERF 383 @ucsdastro
(DM me for Zoom link!)
Just realized that my account setting does not allow DM from everyone. Recording is available below if anyone is interested!

PhDone!! 🥳 Ready for my next step -- moving to College Park and joining @UMDAstronomy as a postdoc 🙌
Congratulations to Dr. @elthateng who gave an excellent PhD defense talk today!! Eltha's results on the CO-to-H2 conversion factor and star formation efficiency are a huge step forward in understanding molecular gas in nearby galaxies. Very proud of her and her work!!

Thrilled to share that I will be joining University of Michigan as an Assistant Professor in the Performing Arts Technology department in Fall 2024! 🥳
Huge thanks to my advisors, family, colleagues and friends for all your support along my job search journey!

I'm ready to present my dissertation talk at the AAS Meeting today!!
#AAS243
Very proud that two of my students are giving their dissertation talks today: Eltha Teng @elthateng and Ryan Rickards Vaught. Come by R03 at 2:20-2:40 and 2:40-3:00! Very cool @PHANGSteam work from both! #AAS243

Very excited about @elthateng’s new paper on star formation efficiency and CO-to-H2 conversion factors in the @PHANGSteam sample! 🙌
My new paper was accepted to ApJ and is now updated on arXiv😎Super excited about getting these results published!
We propose a new CO-to-H2 conversion factor prescription for star-forming galaxies and reveal its systematic impacts on SFE measurements:

Second journal paper this year by my partner @elthateng 🤩
Always wanted to do a cool Astro x Music project, any thoughts? 🤔

Our result also suggests similar molecular gas mass in barred and non-barred galaxy centers overall.
This means that high SFR observed in barred centers is likely due to an enhanced SFE rather than a substantially increased amount of molecular gas!
Check the paper for more😉
Last but not least, I would like to thank @karinsandstrom, @IDaChiangAstro, @astrojysun, Adam Leroy, Alberto Bolatto, @PHANGSteam, and all the coauthors for making this work possible!🙏
