We present the first detection of molecular gas in the Cartwheel, the prototype of a collisional ring galaxy formed in the head-on encounter of two galaxies. Until now, only very little atomic gas and no CO had been detected in the centre,…

We present high-resolution (0.94" $\approx$ 55 pc) ALMA CO(2-1) and 13CO(2-1) observations of the highly inclined (i~87.5 deg) galaxy NGC 4565 covering out to galactocentric radius Rgal > $\pm$ 17 kpc. The combination of sensitivity and…

This is the second paper of a series exploring the multi-component (stars, warm and cold gas and radio jets) properties of a sample of eleven nearby low excitation radio galaxies (LERGs), with the aim of better understanding the AGN…

We present new mm interferometric and optical integral-field unit (IFU) observations and construct a sample of 12 E and S0 galaxies with molecular gas which have both CO and optical maps. The galaxies contain 2 x 10^7 to 5 x 10^9 M\odot of…

We present the first observations of molecular line emission in NGC 3718 with the IRAM 30m and the Plateau de Bure Interferometer. This galaxy is an impressive example for a strongly warped gas disk harboring an active galactic nucleus…

We present CO(1-0) and CO(2-1) maps of the interacting barred LINER/Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 3627 obtained with the IRAM interferometer at resolutions of 2.1" x 1.3" and 0.9" x 0.6", respectively. The molecular gas emission shows a nuclear…

We are presenting here a follow-up study of the molecular gas and dust in the environs of the star forming region NGC 3503. This study aims at dealing with the interaction of NGC 3503 with its parental molecular cloud, and also with the…

We decomposed the molecular gas in the spiral galaxy NGC 628 (M74) into multi-scale hub-filament structures using the CO (2-1) line by the dendrogram algorithm. All leaf structures as potential hubs were classified into three categories,…

In this review, I discuss some highlights of recent research on molecular gas in galaxies; large-scale CO maps of nearby galaxies are being made, which extend our knowledge on global properties, radial gradients, and spiral structure of the…

The molecular gas in (some) early type galaxies holds important clues to the history and the future of these galaxies. In pursuit of these clues we have used the BIMA millimeter array to map CO emission in the giant elliptical galaxies NGC…

In this work we present IRAM-30m telescope observations of a sample of bulge-dominated galaxies with large dust lanes, which have had a recent minor merger. We find these galaxies are very gas rich, with H2 masses between 4x10^8 and 2x10^10…

We compare the molecular and ionized gas kinematics of two strongly lensed galaxies at $z\sim1$ based on observations from ALMA and MUSE. We derive the CO and [OII] rotation curves and dispersion profiles of these two galaxies. We find a…

Millimeter (CO) observations of 5 double-nucleus ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIG) mergers are presented. With nuclear separations of 3-5 kpc, these galaxies are in the ``intermediate'' stages of the merger process. A preliminary…

ALMA imaging of the cold molecular medium in the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 1808 is presented. The observations reveal the distribution of molecular gas, traced by $^{12}$CO (1-0) and $^{12}$CO (3-2), and continuum (93 and 350 GHz) across…

We present the kinematics of the molecular gas in the barred spiral galaxy M83 (NGC5236). The study is based on ^{12}CO(J=1--0 and 2--1) observations with the Swedish-ESO Submillimetre Telescope (SEST). Iso-velocity maps of the entire…

New observations of CO (J=1->0) line emission from M33, using the 25 element BEARS focal plane array at the Nobeyama Radio Observatory 45-m telescope, in conjunction with existing maps from the BIMA interferometer and the FCRAO 14-m…

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…

In a sample of local active galactic nuclei studied at a spatial resolution on the order of 10 pc we show that the interstellar medium traced by the molecular hydrogen v=1-0 S(1) 2.1um line forms a geometrically thick, clumpy disk. The…

We present high resolution images of the 12CO(2-1) emission in the central 1' (1 kpc) of NGC 5128 (Centaurus A), observed using the SMA. We elucidate for the first time the distribution and kinematics of the molecular gas in this region…
