KILOGAS - A legacy survey for the resolved extragalatic interstellar medium
KILOGAS (Kiloparsec Investigations of Local Objects’ Gas And Star-formation) is a large ALMA program aimed at transforming our understanding of the drivers of star formation activity in galaxies. We will map CO(2-1) at 1 kpc resolution in a sample of ~500 galaxies, an order of magnitude more than in any existing survey, and crucially representative of the entire local population (in terms of mass, SFR, size, morphology and environment). All galaxies have optical integral field spectroscopy from the MaNGA and SAMI surveys, providing resolution-matched SFR, metallicity, and M* maps, as well as ionized gas and stellar kinematics.
