Detection of the 13CO(J=6-5) Transition in the Starburst Galaxy NGC 253
S. Hailey-Dunsheath, T. Nikola, G. J. Stacey +5
We report the detection of 13CO(J=6-5) emission from the nucleus of the starburst galaxy NGC 253 with the redshift (z) and Early Universe Spectrometer (ZEUS), a new submillimeter g…
Detection of the 205 um [NII] Line from the Carina Nebula
T. E. Oberst, S. C. Parshley, G. J. Stacey +7
We report the first detection of the 205 um 3P1 - 3P0 [NII] line from a ground-based observatory using a direct detection spectrometer. The line was detected from the Carina star f…
Warm Molecular Gas Traced with CO J=7->6 in the Galaxy's Central 2 Parsecs: Dynamical Heating of the Circumnuclear Disk
C. M. Bradford, G. J. Stacey, T. Nikola +4
We present an 11 arcsec resolution map of the central two parsecs of the Galaxy in the CO J =7->6 rotational transition. The CO emission shows rotation about Sgr A*, but also evide…
CO (J=7->6) Observations of NGC 253: Cosmic Ray Heated Warm Molecular Gas
C. M. Bradford, T. Nikola, G. J. Stacey +5
We report observations of the CO J=7->6 transition toward the starburst nucleus of NGC 253. This is the highest-excitation CO measurement in this source to date, and allows an esti…
SPIFI: a direct-detection imaging spectrometer for submillimeter wavelengths
C. M. Bradford, G. J. Stacey, M. R. Swain +6
The South Pole Imaging Fabry-Perot Interferometer (SPIFI) is the first instrument of its kind -- a direct-detection imaging spectrometer for astronomy in the submillimeter band. SP…
Star Formation in M51 Triggered by Galaxy Interaction
T. Nikola, N. Geis, F. Herrmann +4
We have mapped the inner 360'' regions of M51 in the 158micron [CII] line at 55'' spatial resolution using the Far-infrared Imaging Fabry-Perot Interferometer (FIFI) on the Kuiper…
