Understanding mass, size, and surface mass density of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in galaxies is key to insights into star formation processes. We analyze these in M33 using Herschel dust and archival IRAM 30m telescope data, compared to…

Emission from the 492 GHz CI tranition was detected towards the dark cloud D478 in M31. Using existing 12CO and 13CO measurements, models for the gas properties of D478 are discussed. The observed CO and C line ratios can be explained by…

The rotational transitions of carbon monoxide (CO) are the primary means of investigating the density and velocity structure of the molecular interstellar medium. Here we study the lowest four rotational transitions of CO towards…
