Optical Depth Estimates and Effective Critical Densities of Dense Gas Tracers in the Inner Parts of Nearby Galaxy Discs
M. J. Jimenez-Donaire, F. Bigiel, A. K. Leroy +17
High critical density molecular lines like HCN(1-0) or HCO+(1-0) represent our best tool to study currently star-forming, dense molecular gas at extragalactic distances. The optica…

Millimeter-Wave Line Ratios and Sub-beam Volume Density Distributions
Adam K. Leroy, Antonio Usero, Andreas Schruba +11
We explore the use of mm-wave emission line ratios to trace molecular gas density when observations integrate over a wide range of volume densities within a single telescope beam.…
