Application of Resolved Low-J Multi-CO Line Modeling with RADEX to Constrain the Molecular Gas Properties in the Starburst M82

Application of Resolved Low-J Multi-CO Line Modeling with RADEX to Constrain the Molecular Gas Properties in the Starburst M82

The distribution and physical conditions of molecular gas are closely linked to star formation and the subsequent evolution of galaxies. Emission from carbon monoxide (CO) and its isotopologues traces the bulk of molecular gas and provides constraints on the physical conditions through their line ra...
