The relation between atomic and molecular gas: the Magellanic Clouds and beyond
In this thesis, I employ two different observational techniques, ultraviolet spectroscopy and radio interferometry imaging, to study the atomic and molecular gas relation in the Large/Small Magellanic Clouds and 43 nearby galaxies. These galaxies demonstrate various galactic environments compared …
