Molecular gas distribution and dynamics in the luminous merger NGC 6240
We present the results of our subarcsecond resolution interferometric observations of the 1.3 mm CO J = 2-->1 line in the luminous merger NGC 6240. Roughly half of the CO flux is contained in a rotating and highly turbulent thick disk centered between the two radio and near-infrared nuclei. I...
