ALMA Observations of Supernova Remnant N49 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. II. Non-LTE Analysis of Shock-heated Molecular Clouds

We present the first compelling evidence of shock-heated molecular clouds associated with the supernova remnant (SNR) N49 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Using ^12 CO( J = 2–1, 3–2) and ^13 CO( J = 2–1) line emission data taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array, we derived t...
