Physical Properties of Molecular Clouds in the Overlap Region of the Merging Antennae Galaxies

Physical Properties of Molecular Clouds in the Overlap Region of the Merging Antennae Galaxies

As the closest major galaxy merger and home to thousands of super star clusters (SSCs), the Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038 and NGC 4039) are an important location to study the molecular clouds at sites of vigorous star formation. We cataloged giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in the region where the two ga...
