The ATLAS(3D) project - XVI. Physical parameters and spectral line energy distributions of the molecular gas in gas-rich early-type galaxies

We present a detailed study of the physical properties of the molecular gas in a sample of 18 molecular gas-rich early-type galaxies (ETGs) from the ATLAS3D sample. Our goal is to better understand the star formation processes occurring in those galaxies, starting here with the dense star-forming ga...
