"First Results from a Molecular Line Survey
of Local Extreme Starbursts"

ABSTRACT: I will present exciting new results from a CO/HCN multi-J survey of galaxies with L(IR) gt 10e11 L-solar and z lt 0.3. The survey, conducted at the JCMT and IRAM 30-meter telescopes, is currently the largest of its kind. The observations provide a first glimpse at the state of the dense, star-forming molecular gas in these galaxies. I will also discuss future prospects for follow-up observations with Herschel and ALMA.
