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.

First 12m observations, and ACA 50% complete
ALMA cycle 11 has been kind to us so far, and we are excited to share that we have already obtained our first few 12m Array observations, and over 50% of those from the ALMA Compact Array (ACA).

First ACA observations
Only a few days into Cycle 11, and the first KILOGAS observations have already been completed! So far these are some of the compact array (ACA) observations, with the 12m-array observations expected to start coming in early November.

KILOGAS approved
We are happy to announce that KILOGAS is a go, having been awarded 49.7 hours of ALMA main array and 75.5 hours of ACA time at A-priority in Cycle 11!
