Warm Molecular Gas in the Central Parsecs of the Buried Nucleus of NGC 4418 Traced with the Fundamental CO Rovibrational Absorptions
We investigated the inner buried nucleus of a nearby luminous infrared galaxy, NGC 4418, using high-resolution spectroscopy of fundamental carbon monoxide (CO) rovibrational absorptions around 4.67 μ m for the first time. This method allowed us to examine the physical and kinematical properties in t...
