Spatially-resolved Dense Molecular Gas Excitation in the Nearby LIRG VV 114

Toshiki Saito, Daisuke Iono, Daniel Espada +14

We present high-resolution observations (0".2-1".5) of multiple dense gas tracers, HCN and HCO${}^{+}$ ($J$ = 1-0, 3-2, and 4-3), HNC ($J$ = 1-0), and CS ($J$ = 7-6) lines, toward the…
