Survey Towards Infrared-bright Nearby Galaxies
I am a member of the STING collaboration, which is a survey of nearby galaxies using CARMA. The survey is
primarily to study the molecular gas of 27 nearby galaxies covering a significant range of stellar mass, star
formation rate and galaxy morphology. STING maps CO(1-0) emission of these galaxies out to roughly the
optical radius, giving a larger dynamic range of stellar density and radius than similar surveys. The picture
shows false color images of the IR emission of STING galaxies. Projects in the STING collaboration include
studied the gas consumption timescale of star forming regions, measuring the dust chemistry of different
regions, as well the STING galaxies are included in my study of the molecular gas content of bulges.
