The center of M83, a barred starburst galaxy with a double nucleus, has been observed in the CO(J=2-1) and CO(J=3-2) lines with the Submillimeter Array. The molecular gas shows a distribution and kinematics typical for barred galaxies at…

The main goal of this analysis is to present a new method to estimate the physical properties of diffuse cloud of atomic hydrogen observed at high Galactic latitude. This method, based on a comparison of the observations with fractional…

The pervasive presence of warm gas in galaxy halos suggests that the circumgalactic medium (CGM) is multiphase in its ionization structure and complex in its kinematics. Some recent state-of-the-art cosmological galaxy simulations predict…

We uncovered a more tilted molecular gas structure with highly negative velocities located near the dust lane. Our observations also show that the approaching gas flows from the overshoot process are captured by the bar gravitational and…
