Metal-poor molecular clouds in dwarf galaxies at parsec-scale resolution

L. K. Hunt, M. Heyer, U. Lisenfeld +17

Understanding how stars form at low metallicity is challenging because carbon monoxide (CO) emission, which usually probes the molecular gas reservoir, is faint, and tends to be co…

Oxygen isotopes reveal low-mass star dominance in the Small Magellanic Cloud

Yan Gong, Zhi-yu Zhang, Christian Henkel +9

Oxygen isotope abundances and their ratios are fingerprints of stellar evolution and therefore provide a powerful tool in tracing the enrichment history of galaxies. However, their…

Sulfur isotope ratios in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Y. Gong, C. Henkel, K. M. Menten +11

Sulfur isotope ratios have emerged as a promising tool for tracing stellar nucleosynthesis, quantifying stellar populations, and investigating the chemical evolution of galaxies. W…

Cold dust in giant barred galaxy NGC1365

F. S. Tabatabaei, A. Weiss, F. Combes +5

Observations of galaxies at sub-millimeter wavelengths, where the emission is mainly due to cold dust, are required to constrain the dust physical properties and provide important…

Evidence for CO shock excitation in NGC 6240 from Herschel SPIRE spectroscopy

R. Meijerink, L. E. Kristensen, A. Weiss +28

We present Herschel SPIRE FTS spectroscopy of the nearby luminous infrared galaxy NGC 6240. In total 20 lines are detected, including CO J=4-3 through J=13-12, 6 H2O rotational lin…

Water vapor emission reveals a highly obscured, star forming nuclear region in the QSO host galaxy APM08279+5255 at z=3.9

Paul P. van der Werf, Alicia Berciano Alba, Marco Spaans +6

We present the detection of four rotational emission lines of water vapor, from energy levels Eu/k= 101 - 454 K, in the gravitationally lensed z=3.9 QSO host galaxy APM08279+5255.…
