Testing the Physical Parameter Constraining Power of HCN and HNC with Neural Networks

Erica Behrens, Jeffrey G. Mangum, Mathilde Bouvier +2

We quantify the utility of HCN and HNC to characterize gas conditions in the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253. We use measurements from the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Ar…

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.…

Investigating the chemical link between HCO and CHOH within the CMZ of NGC 253

K. -Y. Huang, E. Behrens, M. Bouvier +3

Formaldehyde (HCO) and methanol (CHOH) have served as traditional tracers of the star formation process for decades. Studies of the environments which produce these species…

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…

Components of star formation in NGC 253 : Non-negative Matrix Factorization Analysis with the ALCHEMI integrated intensity images

Ryo Kishikawa, Nanase Harada, Toshiki Saito +12

It is essential to examine the physical or chemical properties of molecular gas in starburst galaxies to reveal the underlying mechanisms characterizing starbursts. We used non-neg…
