Discovery of Molecular Loops in NGC 253
Abstract
We investigated kinematic properties of molecular gas in NGC 253 with ALMA archives and found several loop-like structures in its center. We revealed that some loops cannnot be explained by supernovae. Assuming the loops are formed by magnetic floatation, required fields strength are ∼4 mG. This value is similar to those in the Galactic Center.
