Detection of CO(1−0) Emission at the Tips of the Tidal Tail in the Antennae Galaxies

Detection of CO(1−0) Emission at the Tips of the Tidal Tail in the Antennae Galaxies

The tip of the tidal tail, resulting from an encounter between galaxies, features gas concentrations and some star-forming regions, such as tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs). This region provides a unique laboratory for examining the star formation process in a dynamical environment distinct from that of...
