Dense gas in nearby galaxies ?
The J = 3 − 2 sub-mm line of 12CO has been observed with the Heinrich-Hertz-Telescope (HHT) toward a sample of 28 nearby galaxies, and toward Arp 220. All sources are detected. This is the largest extragalactic sample of CO 3 − 2 spectra published so far. The 3 − 2 line fluxes, I32, are compared to 1 − 0 and 2 − 1 fluxes measured with the IRAM 30m telescope. Model calculations show that the I32...

CO J = 1–0, 2–1, 4–3, 7–6, and CO 1– 0, 2–1, and 3–2 line emission was mapped with angular resolutions of 13 – 22 toward the nuclear region of the archetypical starburst galaxy M82. There are two hotspots on either side of the dynamical center, with the south-western lobe being slightly more prominent. Lobe spacings are not identical for all transitions: For the submillimeter CO lines, the spac...
متن کاملDense Molecular Gas and Star Formation in Nearby Seyfert Galaxies
Abstract. An imaging survey of CO(1−0), HCN(1−0), and HCO(1−0) lines in the centers of nearby Seyfert galaxies has been conducted using the Nobeyama Millimeter Array and the RAINBOW interferometer. Preliminary results reveal that 3 Seyferts out of 7 show abnormally high HCN/CO and HCN/HCO ratios, which cannot occur even in nuclear starburst galaxies. We suggest that the enhanced HCN emission or...
متن کاملDense gas in nearby galaxies XIV .
version lines of ammonia (NH 3) have been detected toward the nuclear 40 ′′ sized bar of the nearby spiral galaxy Maffei 2. The relative intensities of the ammonia lines are characterized by a rotational temperature of 85 K. This is higher than rotational temperatures measured toward IC 342 and most Galactic Center clouds, implying kinetic temperatures > ∼ 100 K. Since the kinetic temperature o...
متن کاملMolecular Gas in High-Redshift Submillimeter Galaxies
We present observations of the luminous population of high-redshift sub-mm galaxies taken at the OVRO Millimeter Array. Studies of submm galaxies are vital to our understanding of the formation and early evolution of galaxies since this population could account for a significant fraction of the total amount of star formation and AGN activity at high redshift. We discuss the CO detections for SM...
