Description
Observations of a broad area at the core of M82, obtained with spatial resolution 30 arcsec and velocity resolution 15.6 km/sec in the J = 2-1 line of CO using the 12-m NRAO antenna at KPNO, are reported. The data are presented in graphs and contour maps and characterized in detail. It is found that the J = 2-1 map is similar to the J = 1-0 map of Olofsson and Rydbeck (1984), but that the emission maximum is significantly north of the J = 1-0 emission core and the location of the X-ray maximum. It is suggested that the tenuous accreted material responsible for the CO emission north of the core may be unable to survive the more rigorous dissociating radiation field to the south.

    Estimation of the hydrostatic-to-lensing mass bias from resolved cluster masses
    We present a study on the bias of hydrostatic masses with respect to lensing mass estimates for a sample of 53 clusters in a redshift range between z = 0.05 and 1.07. The M 500 mass for each cluster was inferred from X-ray and lensing data, without using a priori observable-mass scaling relations. Cluster masses of our reference analysis were

    IRAM 30-meter millimeter follow-up of deep OSIRIS-GTC optical surveys
    It is broadly accepted that CO is a reliable tracer of H2 in massive IR (L IR ≳ 10 9 L ⊙) galaxies, and that there are clear correlations between L IR and L' CO that are qualitatively independent of environment and even redshift. We present two tales on the search for 12CO emission from dusty star-forming galaxies in both field (Lockman Hole, z < 0

    The abundance of galaxy clusters with mass and redshift is a wellknown cosmological probe. The cluster mass is a key parameter for studies that aim to constrain cosmological parameters using galaxy clusters, making it critical to understand and properly account for the errors in its estimates. Subsequently, it becomes important to correctly
