Colliding molecular clouds in head-on galaxy collisions
We present further observations of molecular gas in head-on collisions of spiral galaxies, this time of the CO(J = 1 → 0) and CO(J = 2 → 1) lines in the UGC 813 – UGC 816 system. UGC 813/6 are only the second known example of head-on spiral-spiral collisions, the first example being the UGC 12914/5 pair. Strong CO emission is present in the bridge between UGC 813 and 816, unassociated with stel...
متن کاملGiant Molecular Clouds in the Dwarf Galaxy NGC 1569
We present CO 1→0 and 2→1 observations of the dwarf starburst galaxy NGC 1569 with the IRAM interferometer on Plateau de Bure. We find the CO emission is not spatially associated with the two super star clusters in the galaxy, but rather is found in the vicinity of an HII region. With the resolution of our data, we can resolve the CO emission into five distinct giant molecular clouds, four are ...
متن کاملDI in the outer Galaxy
We report on a deep search with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope towards the galactic anticenter for the 327 MHz hyperfine transition of DI. This is a favorable direction for a search because: (i) the HI optical depth is high due to velocity crowding; (ii) the observed molecular column density is low (implying that most of the deuterium would probably be in atomic form, rather than in H...
متن کاملEvolution of clouds in radio galaxy cocoons
This letter presents a numerical study of the evolution of an emission line cloud of initial density 10 cm, temperature 10 K, and size 200 pc, being overtaken by a strong shock wave. Whereas previous simple models proposed that such a cloud would either be completely destroyed, or simply shrink in size, our results show a different and more complex behaviour: due to rapid cooling, the cloud bre...
متن کاملHigh Altitude Molecular Clouds
A population of molecular clouds with a significantly greater scale height than that of Giant Molecular Clouds has been identified by examining maps of the latitude distribution of the CO(1 − 0) emission in the first quadrant of the Galaxy. These clouds are found by identifying emission more than 2.6 times the scale-height away from the galactic midplane (centroid of CO emission) at the tangent...
