Shock Excited Molecules in NGC 1266: ULIRG conditions at the center of a Bulge Dominated Galaxy
E. W. Pellegrini, J. D. Smith, M. G. Wolfire +28
We investigate the far infrared spectrum of NGC 1266, a S0 galaxy that contains a massive reservoir of highly excited molecular gas. Using the SPIRE-FTS, we detect the CO la…
PDR Model Mapping of Obscured H2 Emission and the Line-of-Sight Structure of M17-SW
Yaron Sheffer, Mark G. Wolfire
We observed H2 line emission with Spitzer-IRS toward M17-SW and modeled the data with our PDR code. Derived gas density values of up to few times 10^7 cm^-3 indicate that H2 emissi…
The Mopra Southern Galactic Plane CO Survey
Michael Burton, Catherine Braiding, Christian Glueck +15
We present the first results from a new carbon monoxide (CO) survey of the southern Galactic plane being conducted with the Mopra radio telescope in Australia. The 12CO, 13CO and C…
The CO-to-H2 Conversion Factor
Alberto D. Bolatto, Mark Wolfire, Adam K. Leroy
CO line emission represents the most accessible and widely used tracer of the molecular interstellar medium. This renders the translation of observed CO intensity into total H2 gas…
