The distribution of the interstellar medium in the Scd galaxy NGC 6946 and in a sample of dwarf irregular galaxies
We have compared the atomic and molecular hydrogen distributions in the spiral galaxy NGC 6946 and in 15 dwarf irregular galaxies. We have made observations of the CO J = 1 $\to$ 0 transition to obtain a fully sampled map to a radium of 10 kpc in NGC 6946, using the 14-meter telescope of the Five Co...
