How do Dwarf Galaxies differ from spirals? Does star formation produce radio and far-infrared emission in the same way as in spiral galaxies? Radio, FarIR, and CO emission depend on gas density, temperature, magnetic field strength, and…
We investigate the scale on which the correlation arises between the 843 MHz radio and the 60 micron far-infrared (FIR) emission from star forming regions in the Milky way. The correlation, which exists on the smallest scales investigated…

The relation between the resolved star formation rate per unit area and the non-thermal radio continuum emission is studied in 21 Virgo cluster galaxies and the two nearby spiral galaxies, NGC6946 and M51. For the interpretation and…
An extinction-free estimator of the star-formation rate (SFR) of galaxies is critical for understanding the high-redshift universe. To this end, the nearly linear, tight correlation of far-infrared (FIR) and radio luminosity of star-forming…

(Abridged) The far-infrared (FIR) and radio luminosities of star-forming galaxies are linearly correlated over a very wide range in star formation rate, from normal spirals like the Milky Way to the most intense starbursts. Using one-zone…
Cosmic ray transport on galactic scales depends on the detailed properties of the magnetized, multiphase interstellar medium (ISM). In this work, we post-process a high-resolution TIGRESS magnetohydrodynamic simulation modeling a local…
The pair of large radio lobes in the Virgo cluster, each about 23 kpc in radius, have curiously sharp outer edges where the radio-synchrotron continuum flux declines abruptly. However, just adjacent to this sharp transition, the radio flux…
