Dense Molecular Gas: A Sensitive Probe of Stellar Feedback Models
We show that the mass fraction of giant molecular cloud (GMC) gas (n 100 cm−3) in dense (n 104 cm−3) star-forming clumps, observable in dense molecular tracers (LHCN/LCO(1–0)), is a sensitive probe of the strength and mechanism(s) of stellar feedback, as well as the star formation efficiencies in the most dense gas. Using high-resolution galaxy-scale simulations with pc-scale resolution and exp...
متن کاملALMA Explorations of Warm Dense Molecular Gas in Nearby LIRGs
We present results of ALMA (Cycle-0) observations of the CO (6-5) line emission and the 435μm continuum of two nearby luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) NGC 34 (a major merger with an AGN) and NGC 1614 (a minor merger with a circum-nuclear starburst). Using receivers in the highest frequency ALMA band available (Band-9), these observations achieved the best angular resolutions (∼ 0′′.25) for AL...
متن کاملThe Star Formation Rate and Dense Molecular Gas in Galaxies
HCN luminosity is a tracer of dense molecular gas, n(H2) > ∼3 × 10 cm, associated with star-forming giant molecular cloud (GMC) cores. We present the results and analysis of our survey of HCN emission from 65 infrared galaxies including 9 ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIGs, LIR > ∼10 L⊙), 22 luminous infrared galaxies (LIGs, 10 L⊙ < LIR < ∼10 L⊙) and 34 normal spiral galaxies with lower IR ...
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 کاملThe Ionization Fraction in Dense Molecular Gas Ii: Massive Cores
We present an observational and theoretical study of the ionization fraction in several massive cores located in regions that are currently forming stellar clusters. Maps of the emission from the J = 1 → 0 transitions of CO, DCO, N2H, and HCO, as well as the J = 2 → 1 and J = 3 → 2 transitions of CS, were obtained for each core. Core densities are determined via a large velocity gradient analys...
