Discussion

Observational analysis detected extensive molecular gas in Circinus galaxy and NGC 1097, highlighting dynamic structures.

Molecular gas was detected at unprecedented extents in both galaxies, reaching up to 6 kpc in Circinus and 18 kpc in NGC 1097.
Total CO luminosities measured were L'CO(3-2) = 1.5 K km s^-1 pc^2 for Circinus and L'CO(2-1) = 7.0 K km s^-1 pc^2 for NGC 1097.
3D tilted ring modeling was employed to analyze the gas kinematics, revealing notable structures beyond the central regions of the galaxies.
Findings promise advancement in large-scale studies of molecular gas in nearby galaxies using APEX and future telescopes.

Lasrado et al. (2025) studied this question.
