Molecular hydrogen in galaxies

This study aims to understand the key role played by molecular hydrogen in the evolution of galaxies, with a view to constraining its radial distribution in the Galaxy and the CO→H(_2) conversion factor α(_20).The star formation rate is shown to be correlated with the surface density of H(_2). A cor...
