We present a ~ 1" (100 pc) resolution 12CO (3-2) map of the nearby intermediate stage interacting galaxy pair NGC 4038/9 (the Antennae galaxies) obtained with the Submillimeter Array. We find that half the CO (3-2) emission originates in…
(abridged) The interpretation of Faraday rotation measure maps of AGNs within galaxy clusters has revealed regions, $\sim 50-100$ kpc, that are populated with large, $\sim 30 \mu$ G magnetic fields. The magnetic energy of these coherent…
