TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the IRAM-30 m telescope to map over their full extent NGC 4189, NGC4298, NGA 4388, and NGA4299 in the (CO)-C-12(1-0) and (CO-C- 12(2-1) lines, and derived the radial distributions of the atomic gas, molecular gas, and dust.

TL;DR: In this paper, the far infrared spectrum of NGC 1266, a S0 galaxy that contains a massive reservoir of highly excited molecular gas, was investigated using the Herschel Fourier Transform Spectrometer.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present new detections of molecular gas at low metallicities, and assess the physical conditions in the gas through various CO transitions for 8 galaxies, including NGC 1140 (Z/Z⊙ 0.3).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the number counts of a sample of ultracompact massive galaxies (UCMGS) selected within the third data release of the Kilo Degree Survey, that is, systems with sizes R e ⋆ ǫ> ´8´×´1010 ´M ⊙, with the numbers counts of galaxies with the same masses but normal sizes in field and cluster environments.
