High resolution mapping of molecular tori with ALMA
F. Combes, A. Audibert, S. Garcia-Burillo +11
Recent high resolution mapping of the circum-nuclear regions of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) has revealed the existence of geometrically thin nuclear disks, in general randomly ori…
High resolution ALMA observations of HS in LIRGS (Dense gas and shocks in outflows and CNDs)
M. T. Sato, S. Aalto, S. König +14
Molecular gas plays a critical role in regulating star formation and nuclear activity in galaxies. Sulphur bearing molecules, such as H2S, are sensitive to the physical and chemica…
Complex Organic Molecules towards the central molecular zone of NGC 253
M. Bouvier, S. Viti, J. G. Mangum +9
Interstellar complex organic molecules (iCOMs) may have a link to prebiotic species, key building blocks for life. In Galactic star-forming (SF) regions, spatial variations of iCOM…
The MeerKAT Absorption Line Survey (MALS) data release 3: Cold atomic gas associated with the Milky Way
N. Gupta, J. Kerp, S. A. Balashev +15
We present results of a blind search for Galactic HI 21-cm absorption lines toward 19130 radio sources, using 390 pointings of MALS, each pointing centered on a source brighter tha…
Spatially-resolved spectro-photometric SED Modeling of NGC 253's Central Molecular Zone I. Studying the star formation in extragalactic giant molecular clouds
Pedro K. Humire, Subhrata Dey, Tommaso Ronconi +29
Studying the interstellar medium in nearby starbursts is essential for understanding the physical mechanisms driving these objects, thought to resemble young star-forming galaxies.…
An ALCHEMI inspection of sulphur-bearing species towards the central molecular zone of NGC 253
M. Bouvier, S. Viti, E. Behrens +19
Sulphur-bearing species are detected in various environments within Galactic star-forming regions and are particularly abundant in the gas phase of outflows and shocks, and photo-d…
A spectacular galactic scale magnetohydrodynamic powered wind in ESO 320-G030
M. D. Gorski, S. Aalto, S. König +23
How galaxies regulate nuclear growth through gas accretion by supermassive black holes (SMBHs) is one of the most fundamental questions in galaxy evolution. One potential way to re…
Double, double, toil, and trouble: The tails, bubbles, and knots of the local compact obscured nucleus galaxy NGC4418
C. F. Wethers, S. Aalto, G. C. Privon +20
Compact obscured nuclei (CONs) are an extremely obscured (N >10 cm) class of galaxy nuclei thought to exist in 20-40 per cent of nearby (ultra-)luminous infrar…
Molecular isotopologue measurements toward super star clusters and the relation to their ages in NGC253 with ALCHEMI
J. Butterworth, S. Viti, P. P. Van der Werf +18
Determining the evolution of the CNO isotopes in the interstellar medium (ISM) of starburst galaxies can yield important constraints on the ages of superstar clusters (SSCs), or on…
CON-quest II. Spatially and spectrally resolved HCN/HCO+ line ratios in local luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies
Y. Nishimura, S. Aalto, M. D. Gorski +24
Nuclear regions of ultraluminous and luminous infrared galaxies (U/LIRGs) are powered by starbursts and/or active galactic nuclei (AGNs). These regions are often obscured by extrem…
Protonated acetylene in the z=0.89 molecular absorber toward PKS1830-211
S. Muller, R. Le Gal, E. Roueff +7
We report the first interstellar identification of protonated acetylene, C2H3+, a fundamental hydrocarbon, in the z=0.89 molecular absorber toward the gravitationally lensed quasar…
The MeerKAT Absorption Line Survey (MALS) data release I: Stokes I image catalogs at 1-1.4 GHz
P. P. Deka, N. Gupta, P. Jagannathan +24
The MeerKAT Absorption Line Survey (MALS) has observed 391 telescope pointings at L-band (900 - 1670 MHz) at . We present radio continuum images and a catalog of…

X. D. Tang, C. Henkel, K. M. Menten +25
We mapped the kinetic temperature structure of two massive star-forming regions, N113 and N159W, in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We have used 1\hbox{$\,.\!\!^{\prime\pri…
