The Dual Role of Starbursts and Active Galactic Nuclei in Driving Extreme Molecular Outflows

The Dual Role of Starbursts and Active Galactic Nuclei in Driving Extreme Molecular Outflows

Abstract We report molecular gas observations of IRAS 20100−4156 and IRAS 03158+4227, two local ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) hosting some of the fastest and most massive molecular outflows known. Using Atacama Large Millimeter Array and Plateau de Bure Interferometer observations, we spatially resolve the CO (1−0) emission from the outflowing …
