Giant Molecular Clouds in M 64
We investigate the properties of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) in the molecule-rich galaxy M64 (NGC 4826). In M64, the mean surface density of molecular gas is 2N (H 2) ∼ 10 22 over a 2 kpc region, equal to the surface densities of individual GMCs in the Milky Way. We observed the J = 1 → 0 transitions of CO, 13 CO, and HCN. The line ratio W CO /W 13CO for 200 pc < R gal < 800 pc is comparable ...
متن کاملGiant Molecular Clouds in Local Group Galaxies
We present the first comparative study of extragalactic GMCs using complete data sets for entire galaxies and a uniform set of reduction and analysis techniques. We present results based on CO observations for the LMC, SMC, M33, M31, IC10 and the nucleus of M64, and make comparisons with archival Milky Way observations. Our sample includes large spirals and dwarf irregulars with metallicities t...
متن کاملStar cluster disruption by giant molecular clouds
We investigate encounters between giant molecular clouds (GMCs) and star clusters. We propose a single expression for the energy gain of a cluster due to an encounter with a GMC, valid for all encounter distances and GMC properties. This relation is verified with N -body simulations of cluster-GMC encounters, where the GMC is represented by a moving analytical potential. Excellent agreement is ...
متن کاملTeV Neutrinos from SuperNova Remnants embedded in Giant Molecular Clouds
The recent detection of γ-rays with energy up to 10 TeV from dense regions surrounding some Supernova Remnants (SNR) provides strong, though still not conclusive, evidence that the nucleonic component of galactic Cosmic Rays is accelerated in the supernova outflows. Neutrino telescopes could further support the validity of such scenario by detecting neutrinos coming from the same regions. We re...
متن کاملGiant Molecular Clouds in M31 – I: Molecular Cloud Properties
We present Berkeley Illinois Maryland Association (BIMA) millimeter interferometer observations of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) along a spiral arm in M31. The observations consist of a survey using the compact configuration of the interferometer and follow-up, higher-resolution observations on a subset of the detections in the survey. The data are processed using an analysis algorithm designed...
