英文摘要We present IRAM 30 m observations of molecular lines of CO and its isotopologues from the massive spiral galaxy NGC 5908 selected from the CGM-MASS sample. (CO)-C-12 J = 1 - 0, (CO)-C-12 J = 2 - 1 and (CO)-C-13 J = 1 - 0 lines have been detected in most of the positions along the galactic disk. The total molecular gas mass of NGC 5908 is similar to 7 x 10(9) M-circle dot and the total cool gas mass adding atomic hydrogen is similar to 1.3 x 10(10 )M(circle dot), comparable to the upper limit of the mass of the X-ray emitting hot gas in the halo. Modeling the rotation curves constructed with all three CO lines indicates that NGC 5908 has a dark matter halo mass of M-vir similar to 10(13) M-circle dot, putting it among the most massive isolated spiral galaxies. The (CO)-C-12/(CO)-C-13 J = 1 - 0,(CO)-C- 12 J = 2 - 1/J = 1 - 0 line ratios and the estimated molecular gas temperature all indicate normal but non-negligible star formation in this fairly gas-rich massive isolated spiral galaxy, consistent with the measured star formation intensity and surface densities. The galaxy is probably at an early evolutionary stage after a fast growth stage with mergers and/or starbursts, with plenty of leftover cool gas, relatively high SFR, low hot CGM cooling rate, and low X-ray emissivity.
