Understanding if molecular ratios can be used as diagnostics of AGN and starburst activity: The case of NGC 1068

J. Butterworth, J. Holdship, S. Viti +1

Molecular line ratios, such as HCN(1-0)/HCO${}^{+}$(1-0) and HCN(4-3)/CS(7-6), are routinely used to identify active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity in galaxies. Such ratios are, howeve…
