Comparisons of CO and HI Dynamics in THINGS Galaxies
Abstract
We present recent results comparing the CO and HI dynamics of nearby galaxies that have been observed as part of the THINGS (HI) and the HERACLES (CO) surveys. We focus on 3 galaxies out of the 11 that have been analysed so far, and present velocity-fields and rotation curves of the CO, which we compare with that of the HI.
