| Abstract: |
Remarkable progress has been achieved in recent years in quantifying
the molecular, atomic and dusty properties of the interstellar medium
(ISM) and their relation to star formation in nearby galaxies. This is
mainly thanks to a number of dedicated multi-wavelength surveys
(infrared [Spitzer, Herschel], optical, UV [Galex], CO [Nobeyama,
IRAM], HI [VLA]) that targeted a sample of nearby galaxies. Here we
highlight some of the recent results emerging from these efforts and
review our current understanding of the ISM properties, with a focus
on the molecular gas phase, and its relation to star formation in
nearby galaxies. |
