Gas Dynamics in the Luminous Merger NGC 6240

We report 0.5"x0.9" resolution, interferometric observations of the 1.3 mm CO J=2-1 line in the infrared luminous galactic merger NGC 6240. About half of the CO flux is concentrated in a rotating but highly turbulent, thick disk structure centered between the two radio and near-infrared nu...
