The ISO-SWS survey of molecular hydrogen lines in active galaxies

We present a survey of molecular hydrogen line emission in nearby starburst and Seyfert galaxies. Excitation temperatures and gas masses for loci-lying energy levels of Hz are derived from the observed pure rotational lines. The H-2 (0-0) S(1) line in Seyferts is emitted by a "warm" gas at...
