xGASS: total cold gas scaling relations and molecular-to-atomic gas ratios of galaxies in the local Universe (2018, background): “Substantial observing effort in the past decade went into measuring atomic and molecular gas masses for large samples of galaxies selected from optical surveys, and largely missed by H I-blind surveys (e.g. Young et al. 2011; Serra et al. 2012; Boselli et al. 2014).”
The ATLAS3D Project – XXVIII. Dynamically driven star formation suppression in early-type galaxies (2014, background): “…Alighieri et al. 2007; Grossiet al. 2009; Oosterloo et al. 2010; Serra et al. 2012), dust in≈60% (Colbert, Mulchaey & Zabludoff 2001; Smith et al. 2012; Agius et al. 2013), and molecular gas in 22% (Combes, Young & Bureau 2007; Welch, Sage & Young 2010; Young et al. 2011, hereafter Paper IV).”
The ATLAS3D project - VII. A new look at the morphology of nearby galaxies: the kinematic morphology-density relation (2011, background): “…point of view the difference between fast rotator ETGs and spiral galaxies is in their dust content, visible as spiral arms in optical photometry, and their cold gas content, as detected via molecular lines, which is significantly lower than spiral galaxies (Young et al. 2011, hereafter Paper IV).”
Theoretical Challenges in Galaxy Formation (2016, background): “More massive early-type galaxies typically have significantly lower cold gas fractions, although they are not devoid of cold gas, contrary to the traditional picture (Catinella et al. 2010, Saintonge et al. 2011, Serra et al. 2012, Young et al. 2011).”
Structure and Kinematics of Early-Type Galaxies from Integral Field Spectroscopy (2016, background): “…Mgb line strength index within Re/2 from McDermid et al. (2015); (f) g − i color from SDSS (from Aihara et al. 2011); (g) Ratio of the molecular hydrogen H2 from Young et al. (2011) and M dyn ∗ ≡MJAM from Cappellari et al. (2013b); (h) Total (luminous plus dark) dynamical (M/L)dyn ≡ (M/L)JAM from…”
Galaxy Masses: A Review (2013, background): “However, many ETGs have a significant amount of gas, either ionised (e.g. Bertola et al. 1984; Fisher 1997; Sarzi et al. 2006), sometimes molecular (e.g. Sage et al. 2007; Young et al. 2011) or even neutral (Knapp et al. 1985; Morganti et al. 2006; di Serego Alighieri et al. 2007).”
The ATLAS3D Project – XXX. Star formation histories and stellar population scaling relations of early-type galaxies (2015, background): “Through consideration of the mean absolute SFR, we demonstrate that the classic ‘downsizing’ scenario of Cowie et al. (1996) applies to ETGs, showing that less massive galaxies have more extended SFHs, and as a result, the characteristic mass of the objects dominating the SFR decreases as the Univer”
A REVISED PARALLEL-SEQUENCE MORPHOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION OF GALAXIES: STRUCTURE AND FORMATION OF S0 AND SPHEROIDAL GALAXIES (2011, unknown): “The ATLAS3D project shows these results in particular detail and again even in the Virgo cluster (Davis et al. 2009; Young et al. 2011).”
DISCOVERY OF AN ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEUS DRIVEN MOLECULAR OUTFLOW IN THE LOCAL EARLY-TYPE GALAXY NGC 1266 (2011, methodology): “Molecular Gas Mass Using the CO (1–0) single-dish flux quoted in Young et al. (2011), a column density of molecular hydrogen N(H2) = XCO ∫ Tmb dv, where the conversion factor XCO = 2× 10 20 cm−2 (K km s−1)−1 (Dame et al. 2001), a beamsize of 21.”
The ATLAS3D project - X. On the origin of the molecular and ionized gas in early-type galaxies (2011, background): “As part of this survey Young et al. (2011) (hereafter Paper IV) have presented an unbiased census of the molecular gas content of this sample of nearby early-types, and report that 22% of optically-selected, morphologically-classified ETGs have substantial molecular gas reservoirs (107–109 M⊙ of…”
Raining on black holes and massive galaxies: the top-down multiphase condensation model (2016, methodology): “We test a gaseous atmosphere either with negligible or substantial rotation parametrized with erot = 0–0.3, since ETG observations detect either chaotic gas motions (Caon, Macchetto & Pastoriza 2000) or inner discs (Young et al. 2011), with the former state being more typical.”
THE HERSCHEL REFERENCE SURVEY: DUST IN EARLY-TYPE GALAXIES AND ACROSS THE HUBBLE SEQUENCE (2011, methodology): “Our overall detection rate of 50% for the ETGs is higher than the 22% obtained by the ATLAS3D CO study of 260 ETGs (Young et al. 2011), though the ATLAS3D sample has a larger volume out to distances 46Mpc (compared to 25Mpc for the HRS).”
THE IMPACT OF INTERACTIONS, BARS, BULGES, AND ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI ON STAR FORMATION EFFICIENCY IN LOCAL MASSIVE GALAXIES (2012, background): “Some of these earlytype galaxies even have significant, mostly compact, H2 disks (e.g. Wiklind et al. 1995; Knapp & Rupen 1996; Young et al. 2011), suggested to be less efficient at forming stars than similar gas disks in normal star-forming galaxies (Martig et al. 2009; Crocker et al. 2012).”
CONNECTING ANGULAR MOMENTUM AND GALACTIC DYNAMICS: THE COMPLEX INTERPLAY BETWEEN SPIN, MASS, AND MORPHOLOGY (2015, background): “This is due to the fact that cold gas always settles in disk-like structures, even in elliptical galaxies (e.g., Lees et al. 1991; Young et al. 2011).”
