WISDOM Project – IX. Giant molecular clouds in the lenticular galaxy NGC 4429: effects of shear and tidal forces on clouds

We present high spatial resolution (≈12 pc) Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array 12CO(J = 3–2) observations of the nearby lenticular galaxy NGC 4429. We identify 217 giant molecular clouds within the 450 pc radius molecular gas disc. The c...
