Scientific paper

The dense gas tracers HNC and CN prove to be detectable in sensitive single dish studies of infrared luminous starburst galaxies. Their line intensity with respect to both the standard tracer of molecular gas, CO, and the dense, starforming component, HCN, varies significantly. This opens a new, extinction-free window into the investigation of the properties and the evolutionary stage of starbursts.
