Abstract

We have mapped the molecular circumnuclear disk in Centaurus A in the -2 line of ¹²CO using the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope at 14´´ (235 pc) resolution. The disk remains at best only very barely resolved and even the most basic conclusions regarding its structure are highly model-dependent.

Key words: elliptical galaxies / molecular gas
