英文摘要 | Abstract We present our high-resolution (0.″15 × 0.″13, ~34 pc) observations of the CO?(6?5) line emission, which probes the warm and dense molecular gas, and the 434 μm dust continuum emission in the nuclear region of the starburst galaxy IC 5179, conducted with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA). The CO?(6?5) emission is spatially distributed in filamentary structures with many dense cores and shows a velocity field that is characteristic of a circumnuclear rotating gas disk, with 90% of the rotation speed arising within a radius of ?150 pc. At the scale of our spatial resolution, the CO?(6?5) and dust emission peaks do not always coincide, with their surface brightness ratio varying by a factor of ~10. This result suggests that their excitation mechanisms are likely different, as further evidenced by the southwest to northeast spatial gradient of both CO-to-dust continuum ratio and Pa-α equivalent width. Within the nuclear region (radius?~?300 pc) and with a resolution of ~34 pc, the CO line flux (dust flux density) detected in our ALMA observations is 180?±?18 Jy km s?1 (71 ± 7 mJy), which accounts for 22% (2.4%) of the total value measured by Herschel. |
