Is HCN a True Tracer of Dense Molecular Gas in LIRGs and ULIRGs?
We present the results of the first HCO survey probing the dense molecular gas content of a sample of 16 luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs and ULIRGs). Previous work, based on HCN(1–0) observations, had shown that LIRGs and ULIRGs posses a significantly higher fraction of dense molecular gas compared to normal galaxies. While the picture issued from HCO partly confirms this re...
متن کاملHCN versus HCO as dense molecular gas mass tracer in Luminous Infrared Galaxies
It has been recently argued that the HCN J=1–0 line emission may not be an unbiased tracer of dense molecular gas (n & 10 cm) in Luminous Infrared Galaxies (LIRGs: LFIR > 10 11 L⊙) and HCO + J=1–0 may constitute a better tracer instead (Graciá-Carpio et al. 2006), casting doubt into earlier claims supporting the former as a good tracer of such gas (Gao & Solomon 2004; Wu et al. 2006). In this p...
متن کاملResidence Times in a Hypersaline Creek: Using Salinity as a Tracer
Spatial measurements of conductivity, temperature and depth were used to study salinity variations along the principal channels of the tidal hypersaline creek network in the vicinity of Bushehr Port, Persian Gulf during three 25- tidal cycles in both warm and cold months. Salinity variations and tidal fluctuations were out of phase throughout the short inverse estuary. The salinity values in...
متن کاملUbiquitous argonium (ArH) in the diffuse interstellar medium: A molecular tracer of almost purely atomic gas
Aims. We describe the assignment of a previously unidentified interstellar absorption line to ArH and discuss its relevance in the context of hydride absorption in diffuse gas with a low H2 fraction. The confidence of the assignment to ArH is discussed, and the column densities are determined toward several lines of sight. The results are then discussed in the framework of chemical models, with...
متن کاملMolecular abundance ratios as a tracer of accelerated collapse in regions of high mass star formation?
Recent observations suggest that the behaviour of tracer species such as N2H + and CS is significantly different in regions of high and low mass star formation. In the latter, N2H + is a good tracer of mass, while CS is not. Observations show the reverse to be true in high-mass star formation regions. We use a computational chemical model to show that the abundances of these and other species m...
