The ATLAS 3D project - XI. Dense molecular gas properties of CO-luminous early-type galaxies
Surveying 18 12CO-bright galaxies from the ATLAS 3D early-type galaxy sample with the Institut de Radio Astronomie Millimétrique (IRAM) 30-m telescope, we detect 13CO(1-0) and 13CO(2-1) in all 18 galaxies, HCN(1-0) in 12/18 and HCO +(1-0) in 10/18. We find that the line ratios 12CO(1-0)/ 13CO(1-0) a...
