Fire and Ice in the Whirlpool: Spatially Resolved Scaling Relations between X-Ray-emitting Hot Gas and Cold Molecular Gas in M51
The cold and hot interstellar medium in star-forming galaxies resembles the reservoir for star formation and associated heating by stellar winds and explosions during stellar evolution, respectively. We utilize data from deep Chandra observations and archival millimeter surveys to study the intercon...
