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…

Shock-induced HCNH+ abundance enhancement in the heart of the starburst galaxy NGC 253 unveiled by ALCHEMI

Y. Gong, C. Henkel, C. T. Bop +15

Understanding the chemistry of molecular clouds is pivotal to elucidate star formation and galaxy evolution. As one of the important molecular ions, HCNH+ plays an important role i…

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.…

First detection of a deuterated molecule in a starburst environment within NGC 253

J. Butterworth, S. Martín, V. M. Rivilla +7

Deuterium was primarily created during the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN). This fact, alongside its fractionation reactions resulting in enhanced abundances of deuterated molecules…

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…

Physical Properties of the Southwest Outflow Streamer in the Starburst Galaxy NGC 253 with ALCHEMI

Min Bao, Nanase Harada, Kotaro Kohno +19

The physical properties of galactic molecular outflows are important as they could constrain outflow formation mechanisms. We study the properties of the southwest (SW) outflow str…

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…

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…

APEX and NOEMA observations of HS in nearby luminous galaxies and the ULIRG Mrk~231 -- Is there a relation between dense gas properties and molecular outflows?

M. T. Sato, S. Aalto, K. Kohno +6

In order to understand the evolution and feedback of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and star formation it is important to use molecular lines as probes of physical conditions and che…
