Probability distribution functions of {sup 12}CO(J = 1 → 0) brightness and integrated intensity in M51: The PAWS view

We analyze the distribution of CO brightness temperature and integrated intensity in M51 at ∼40 pc resolution using new {sup 12}CO(J = 1 → 0) data from the Plateau de Bure Arcsecond Whirlpool Survey (PAWS). We present probability distribution functions (PDFs) of the CO emission within the PAWS field...
