Scientific paper

The excitation and morphology of the molecular gas in the nucleus of the starburst galaxy M82 were investigated using C-12O J = 6-5, J = 3-2, J = 2-1, J = 1-0, CO-18 and CO-17 J = 2-1, HCN J = 3-2, HC-13N J = 1-0, and HCO(+) J = 3-2 molecular line emission. Among other results, it is found that a very massive and active star forming region about 10 arcsec SW of the nucleus produces a strong, narrow emission feature in several lines.
