We present the results of our ALMA HCN J=3-2 and HCO+ J=3-2 line observations of a uniformly selected sample (>25) of nearby ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) at z < 0.15. The emission of these dense molecular gas tracers and continuum are spatially resolved in the majority of observed ULIRGs for the first time with achieved synthesized beam sizes of ~0.2 arcsec or ~500 pc. In most ULIRGs, the HCN-to-HCO+ J=3-2 flux ratios in the nuclear regions within the beam size are systematically higher than those in the spatially extended regions. The elevated nuclear HCN J=3-2 emission could be related to (a) luminous buried active galactic nuclei, (b) the high molecular gas density and temperature in ULIRGs nuclei, and/or (c) mechanical heating by spatially compact nuclear outflows. A small fraction of the observed ULIRGs display higher HCN-to-HCO+ J=3-2 flux ratios in localized off-nuclear regions than those of the nuclei, which may be due to mechanical heating by spatially extended outflows. The observed nearby ULIRGs are generally rich in dense (>10^5 cm^-3) molecular gas, with an estimated mass of >10^9 Msun within the nuclear (a few kpc) regions, and dense gas can dominate the total molecular mass there. We find a low detection rate (<20%) regarding the possible signature of a vibrationally excited (v2=1f) HCN J=3-2 emission line in the vicinity of the bright HCO+ J=3-2 line that may be due, in part, to the large molecular line widths of ULIRGs.
We present high-resolution observations (0.2-1.5) of multiple dense gas tracers, HCN and HCO$^+$ ($J$ = 1-0, 3-2, and 4-3), HNC ($J$ = 1-0), and CS ($J$ = 7-6) lines, toward the nearby luminous infrared galaxy VV 114 with the Atacama Large Millimeter
We present a $^{13}mathrm{CO} (J = 1 rightarrow 0)$ mapping survey of 12 nearby galaxies from the CARMA STING sample. The line intensity ratio $mathcal{R} equiv I[^{12}mathrm{CO} (J = 1 rightarrow 0)]/I[^{13}mathrm{CO} (J = 1 rightarrow 0)]$ is deriv
We present the results of our ALMA Cycle 0 observations, using HCN/HCO+/HNC J=4-3 lines, of six nearby luminous infrared galaxies with various energetic contributions from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) estimated from previous infrared spectroscopy. T
We present the results of our ALMA observations of eleven (ultra)luminous infrared galaxies ((U)LIRGs) at J=4-3 of HCN, HCO+, HNC and J=3-2 of HNC. This is an extension of our previously published HCN and HCO+ J=3-2 observations to multiple rotationa
We present EMPIRE, an IRAM 30-m large program that mapped $lambda = 3{-}4$ mm dense gas tracers at $sim 1{-}2,$kpc resolution across the whole star-forming disk of nine nearby, massive, spiral galaxies. We describe the EMPIRE observing and reduction
