One of the most important fields of astrophysics today is the study of the structure and evolution of galaxies. One of the most important problems in this field of research is that the intrinsic, environmental, and galaxy-type dependence of star formation is not yet fully understood. In the past, the angular resolution of external galaxies was insufficient. However, the high resolution and data sensitivity provided by the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), which consists of 66 antennas, now guide galaxy studies beyond the local galaxy group, especially at mm wavelength. In this way, outer galaxies can be analysed with spatially resolved data, and current astrophysical questions can be answered with high-resolution and high-sensitivity data. In this research proposal, we aim to identify the spatially resolved giant molecular cloud (GMC) structures in an outer galaxy and investigate the physical properties of GMCs in detail using newly acquired high-resolution ALMA carbon monoxide (CO) observational data (average linear resolution 20 pc).
