Submillimeter Array observations of ISM in starburst galaxies
Kazushi Sakamoto, Satoki Matsushita, Alison B. Peck +5
The Submillimeter Array (SMA) has been under construction at the 4100 m summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The array is going to allow imaging of lines and continuum at sub-arcsecond res…
Molecular Gas in The Central Kpc of Starbursts and AGN
Shardha Jogee, Andrew J. Baker, Kazushi Sakamoto +2
With the recent advent of large interferometric surveys, we can now probe the physical conditions, dynamics, and star-forming properties of molecular gas in the central kpc of star…
Bar-driven Transport of Molecular Gas in Spiral Galaxies: Observational Evidence
Kazushi Sakamoto
The NRO-OVRO CO imaging survey showed that molecular gas was more concentrated to the central kiloparsec in barred spiral galaxies than in their unbarred counterparts. The result p…
Radial Transport of Molecular Gas to the Nuclei of Spiral Galaxies
K. Sakamoto, S. K. Okumura, S. Ishizuki +1
The NRO/OVRO imaging survey of molecular gas in 20 spiral galaxies is used to test the theoretical predictions on bar-driven gas transport, bar dissolution, and bulge evolution. In…
