Emission spectra of the 2-1 and 3-2 lines of SiO detected in the
inner 3 kpc of NGC 1068. Four starred markers, overlaid on the
CO(1-0) integrated intensity map of Schinnerer et al.
(2000), highlight the central positions of the beams in the disk where we searched for
SiO emission: the central offset (0

Molecular lines in the CND. Sub-panels are labeled with
the name of the line displayed. Sub-panels 1 to 3 are derived from
interferometer data (Tacconi et al. 1994, 1997;
Schinnerer et al. 2000); panels 4 to 9 show single-dish spectra
observed towards the nucleus (temperatures corrected by dilution effects
assuming that the emission is coming from the CND). Two vertical point-dashed
lines at

Figure 6: LVG estimates for oxygenated species in the E/W knots of the CND. a1) For CO, continuous (pointed) curves are contours of constant 1-0 line temperature ((4-3)-to-(1-0) line ratio). a2) For SiO, same for 2-1 line temperature ((3-2)-to-(2-1) line ratio). a3) For H12CO+, same for 1-0 line temperature ([H12CO+]-to-H13CO+] 1-0 line ratio). a4) For HOC+, same for 1-0 line temperature. Squared (starred) markers show solutions for the East (West) knot. |

Figure 8: Top panel: steady state HCO+-to-HOC+ abundance ratio as a function of the ionization degree of molecular gas. Curves for single formation paths are plotted; the thick line shows the predicted ratio for a XDR chemistry. Bottom panel: fraction of HCO+ and HOC+ molecules formed along each chemical path in a XDR chemistry. |

Figure 9: X-ray emission and molecular gas inthe CND: overlay of the distribution of hardX-ray emission in the 6-8 keV band (gray scale adapted from Ogle et al. 2003: whiter shades stand for stronger emission) and the CO(1-0) integrated emission as in Fig. 3. The AGN locus is highlighted by the starred marker. |
