Early Science with the Large Millimeter Telescope: Exploring the Effect of AGN Activity on the Relationships Between Molecular Gas, Dust, and Star Formation

Allison Kirkpatrick, Alex Pope, Itziar Aretxaga +9

The molecular gas, H${}_2$, that fuels star formation in galaxies is difficult to observe directly. As such, the ratio of $L_{\mathrm{IR}}$ to $L_{\mathrm{CO}}^{\prime }$ is an observational esti…
