## Newnham et al. (2019) – The HI Morphology and Stellar Properties of Strongly Barred Galaxies: support for bar quenching in massive spirals

Galactic bars can affect the evolution of galaxies by redistributing gas in galaxies, possibly contributing to the cessation of star formation. Recent works point to ‘bar quenching’ playing an important

## Li & Klein (2019) – Magnetized interstellar molecular clouds: II. The Large-Scale Structure and Dynamics of Filamentary Molecular Clouds

Ideal MHD high resolution AMR simulations with driven turbulence and self-gravity have been performed that demonstrate the formation of long filamentary molecular clouds at the converging location of large-scale turbulence

## Alig et al. (2018) – Simulating the Impact of the Smith Cloud

We investigate the future evolution of the Smith Cloud by performing hydrodynamical simulations of the cloud impact onto the gaseous Milky Way Galactic disk. We assume a local origin for

## Baba et al. (2016) – Gas velocity patterns in simulated galaxies: observational diagnostics of spiral structure theories

There are two theories of stellar spiral arms in isolated disc galaxies that model stellar spiral arms with different longevities: quasi-stationary density wave theory, which characterizes spirals as rigidly rotating,

## Koch et al. (2018) – Kinematics of the atomic ISM ifigun M33 on 80 pc scales

We present new L-band (1-2 GHz) observations of the nearby spiral galaxy M33 with 80 pc resolution obtained with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array. The H I observations,

## Kreckel et al. (2018) – A 50 pc Scale View of Star Formation Efficiency across NGC 628

Star formation is a multi-scale process that requires tracing cloud formation and stellar feedback within the local (≲kpc) and global galaxy environment. We present first results from two large observing

## Wu et al. (2018) – Giant molecular cloud collisions as triggers of star formation. VI. Collision-induced turbulence

We investigate collisions between giant molecular clouds (GMCs) as potential generators of their internal turbulence. Using magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of self-gravitating, magnetized, turbulent GMCs, we compare kinematic and dynamic properties

## Ramón-Fox & Bonnell (2018) – Streaming motions and kinematic distances to molecular clouds

We present high-resolution smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations of a region of gas flowing in a spiral arm and identify dense gas clouds to investigate their kinematics with respect to a

## Gomez, Vazquez-Semadeni & Zamora-Aviles (2018) – The magnetic field structure in molecular cloud filaments

We explore the structure of magnetic field lines in and around filaments in simulations of molecular clouds undergoing global, multi-scale gravitational collapse. In these simulations, filaments are not in a
