No sign of strong molecular gas outflow in an infrared-bright dust-obscured galaxy with strong ionized-gas outflow

Yoshiki Toba, Shinya Komugi, Tohru Nagao +4

We report the discovery of an infrared (IR)-bright dust-obscured galaxy (DOG) that shows a strong ionized-gas outflow but no significant molecular gas outflow. Based on detail anal…
