Molecular gas in starburst galaxies: Line intensities and physical conditions
Abstract
We present an extended study of molecular excitation for a selection of starburst galaxies. It extends a study of the (12)CO/(13)CO 1-0 intensity ratio of these galaxies, with an additional goal to investigate the notion of a two-type molecular medium in the inner regions of bright IR galaxies.
