Observed CN and HCN intensity ratios exhibit subtle variations in extreme galaxy environments

B. Ledger, C. D. Wilson, T. Michiyama +5

We use both new and archival ALMA data of three energy lines each of CN and HCN to explore intensity ratios in dense gas in NGC 3256, NGC 7469, and IRAS 13120-5453. The HCN (3-2)/H…
