Multi-Phase [CII] Emission in Nearby Galaxies
Date
Image of M101 showing the 24 μm Spitzer emission from warm dust (red), the CO (2-1) emission from molecular gas (green), and the 21-cm HI emission that traces the atomic gas (blue). The pointings from SOFIA/GREAT are shown as white circles and squares, designating areas of high and low star formation, respectively. Pointing selection shows a range of environments, probing the metallicity gradient in each galaxy and different levels of star formation rate.
