Figure 1:
Top: integrated CO(2-1) intensity (contours) superposed on
an H
image (Conselice et al. 2001) of NGC 1275. The
inteferometer data were averaged over velocity offsets from -180 to
-5 kms-1. Contour steps are 1.6 Jy kms-1 beam-1. The white
circle shows the interferometer primary beam, and the grey ellipse at
lower left, within the circle, shows the synthesized beam of
for the merged single-dish+inteferometer data.
The CO spectra are from single pixels in regions A, B and C. The
CO(2-1) spectrum of region D, the center of NGC 1275, is from the
single-dish data only, and indicates an even larger amount of
molecular gas in the galaxy's center, with a much greater line width
than in the filaments. Intensities of the spectra are in mJy in the
2.7'' beam, except for region D, which is in units of mJy in the
single-dish 11'' beam (black circle around region D). Velocity
offsets are relative to 226.559 GHz. Bottom: integrated CO(2-1)
intensity superposed on the hot gas mass distribution derived from 0.5 keV X-ray observations of NGC 1275, from Fabian et al. (2006). CO
contours, primary beam and synthesized beam are as marked in the upper
diagram. |
