13 CO/C 18 O gradients across the disks of nearby spiral galaxies

We use the IRAM Large Program EMPIRE and new high-resolution ALMA data to measure 13 CO(1-0)/C 18 O(1-0) intensity ratios across nine nearby spiral galaxies. These isotopologues of 12 CO are typically optically thin across most of the area in galaxy disks, and this ratio allows us to gauge their rel...
