A portrait of cold gas in galaxies at 60pc resolution and a simple method to test hypotheses that link small-scale ISM structure to galaxy-scale processes

The cloud-scale density, velocity dispersion, and gravitational boundedness of the interstellar medium (ISM) vary within and among galaxies. In turbulent models, these properties play key roles in the ability of gas to form stars. New high fidelity, high resolution surveys offer the prospect to meas...
