Star formation and the interstellar medium in low surface brightness galaxies. II. Deep CO observations of low surface brightness disk galaxies.

DE BLOK W.J.G. and VAN DER HULST J.M.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present deep, pointed 12CO(J=2-1) observations of three late-type LSB galaxies. The beam-size was small enough that we could probe different environments (HI maximum, HI mininum, star forming region) in these galaxies. No CO was found at any of the positions observed. We argue that the implied lack of molecular gas is real and not caused by conversion factor effects. The virtual absence of a molecular phase may explain the very low star formation rates in these galaxies.
