"Molecular gas in cooling flow clusters - detected at last!"

ABSTRACT: "From JCMT and IRAM data, we have detected 8 new CO emission line systems to add to NGC1275. The ratios of CO(1-0), CO(2-1) and CO(3-2) indicate that the molecular gas is warm and present in masses of up to 10^11 Msun. I will present the very latest results and the prospects for future work."
