Molecular Clouds in NGC 3256
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 August 2017
Abstract
A spectacular morphology, including two diffuse tidal tails, and high infrared luminosity suggest that the starburst NGC 3256 is a merger of two gas-rich disk galaxies. NGC 3256 exhibits strong and extended 12CO emission. A conventional interpretation of the observed 12CO and 13CO line ratios yields contradictory results.
