Scientific paper

The only unbiased molecular line survey of an extragalactic source published so far is the 2 mm survey toward NGC 253 (Martin et al. 2006). Here we propose to measure the nearby FR I radio galaxy Cen A with the MOPRA/MOPS system in the 3-4 mm wavelength range (79-115 GHz) and at K-band (20-28 GHz). This will elucidate chemistry, excitation and kinetic temperature of the nuclear gas seen in emission (broad line component) and will shed light onto the nature of the numerous narrow absorption lines that are detected along the line-of-sight toward the prominent nuclear radio continuum source.
