Scientific paper

We request ATCA time to map the giant star forming region N159 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The proposed 100 pointing mosaic in the dense molecular gas tracers HCO+ and HCN will be the highest resolution wide-field image of molecular gas in the LMC to date. The data will allow us, for the first time, to determine the clump mass function in a low-metallicity environment at the low-mass end and to study the spatial relationship of dense molecular cores and deeply embedded (proto)stellar objects. Moreover we will be able to investigate the thermal balance of the molecular gas by comparing CO, CI, C+, and high-resolution Spitzer data to the distribution of the very dense molecular gas.
