12CO(1-0) observations of barred galaxies with intense FIR emission. (1990). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 21(1), 245. https://astronomia.unam.mx/journals/rmxaa/article/view/1990rmxaa..21..245h

Abstract

The authors have used the new 15 m SEST telescope at La Silla, Chile, to observe the 12CO(1-0) emission from a sample of barred spiral galaxies with intense FIR emission, in order to study the molecular gas dynamics in relation to the bar phenomena and the enhanced nuclear activity. The 12CO(1-0) line was detected in five of the six galaxies observed.
