  3. Introduction/Motivation Moleculargas: galaxies evolution, Star formation laws (rate & efficiency)usinggasproperties Emission from galaxies athigh Z. Intro Gasinflows: starburst, non stellarnuclearactivities, galacticchemicalevolution, central mass concentration.

  4. BIMA- SONG Goal • Distribution and physical conditions of the moleculargas in galacticdisk and its relation to star formation • Effects of stellar bar on the kinematics of moleculargas, including the possible inflow of gasalong the bar • The distribution and role of moleculargas in central few parsecs of active and quiescent galaxies.

  5. Gaz moléculaire Tracers : Ionizedgas atomicgas Moleculargas Gaz moléculaire Chemin, Carignan, Tyler 2009 Aalto et al. 1999 NGC 5427, *OB tracent SFR

  6. CO as H2 tracer De son moment dipolaire μ ~ 0.1 Debey Vallejo 2003. De ses raies intenses CO est dense et excité par collision. CO a même photo-dissociabilité que le H2, présent aux même point que H2. Les raies millimétriques du CO sont permises, les hyperfines de 21 cm de l'hydrogène elles non. le CO se trouve saturé dans les nuages moléculaires, cela permet de trouver la température cinétique en surface. Gaz moléculaire

  7. CO as H2 tracer Gaz moléculaire

  8. X factor Trois solutions sont généralement proposées pour calibrer rapport N(H2)/CO et la masse des nuages moléculaires Virial 3.6 x 1020 N(H2)/I_CO1-2 constante universelle. (2) Gama ray (3) Optical thinlines and dustemission. Gaz moléculaire

  9. X factor variations • H2 via CO est intéressant mais: • le taux de conversion H2/CO peut varier en fonction du type morphologique • le taux de conversion H2/CO peut varier en fonction du rayon dans la galaxie • ne peut être utilisé dans les galaxies naines p.e. si les abondances de C et O sont faibles (non-détection du CO ne veut rien dire sur la présence du H2) • Variation de CO/CO13 • Variation de l’activité de formation stellaire Gaz moléculaire

  10. X factor variations Paglione et al 2001

  11. Smith et al. (2000) proposed a new probe of H2 in galaxies. HI gas = isdissociatedmoleculargas, ρv(H2) deducedfrom the HI columndensitytogetherwith the FUV photon flux. Apply to M101, correction for the metallicity gradient extinction of the FUV emission  H2 densityis about constant over radius up to 26 kpcfrom the center (ie ~R25)

  12. A. Boselli et al (2002) X change factor 10 fromspirals galaxies to dwarfs Taking X cst - (2.3 - 2.8 x1020 ) one overestimate X about 2-3 times H2 mass in massives galaxies & one enderestimatethis mass 2 times in less massive Gaz moléculaire
