H2 content and morphological types
Several surveys of CO in galaxies, Young & Knezek (1989)more than 300 galaxies in the FCRAO survey
Review by Young & Scoville (1991, ARAA)
The H2 mass is comparable in average to the HI mass in spiralgalaxies
But this could be due to the IRAS-selection for many of them
More recent survey by Casoli et al (1998)M(H2)/M(HI) in average = 0.2
Varies with morphological type, by a factor ~ 10

When taken into account the mass of galaxiesand not only types
Mass is related to metallicity
Z ~ M1/2

For galaxies of high masses, there is no trend of decreasing H2
with type
The dependence on type could be entirely due to metallicity
The conversion factor X can vary linearly (or more) with Z
Dust depleted by 20 ==> only 10% less H2 but 95% less CO(Maloney & Black 1988)
Environment?There is no CO deficiency in galaxy clusters, as there is HI(cf Virgo cluster, Kenney & Young 88)
According to the FIR bias, M(H2)/M(HI) can vary from 0.2 to 1

CO in Dwarf Galaxies
Difficult to detect, because of sizes, and low Z (Arnault et al 88)
dE easier to detect than dIrr (Sage et al 1992)cf the dE Haro2 (Bravo-Alfaro et al 2003)
The more recent observations by Barone et al (98, 00), Gondhalekar et al (98), Taylor et al (98) confirm a steep dependence on Z
Well know examples: LMC, SMCX-factor multiplied by 10 (Rubio et al 1993)
even higher below 1/10 of solar

O/H is the main factor (below 7.9, galaxies are undetectable)But other factors, too; like the SFR (UV)Barone et al (2000)
Only detections are on the right

Low Surface Brightness LSB
Sometimes large radii, always large gas fraction(up to fg=95% LSB dwarfs Shombert et al 2001)and dark matter dominated ==> unevolved objects
Same total gas content as HSB (McGaugh & de Blok 97)
Low surface density of HI, too, although large sizesUn-compact
Resemble the outer parts of normal HSB galaxies
No CO? (de Blok & van der Hulst 1998), but H2?Some weak bursts of SF, traveling over the galaxy

Spiral Structure
The H2 component participates even better than the HI andstellar component to the density waves
due to its low velocity dispersion
Larger contrast than other componentsstreaming motions, due to the spiral density wave
•excitation different in arms? Density•Star formation, heating?•Formation of GMC in arms•Formation of H2? Chemical time-scale 105 yrs•HI is formed out of photo-dissociation of H2
•CO exist also in the interarms

H2 in Barred Galaxies
H2 is particularly useful to map the bar and ringssince HI is in general depleted in central regionsHα is often obscured
Barred galaxies have more CO emission, and the H2 gas is moreconcentrated (Sakamoto et al 1999)
This confirms dynamical theories of transport of the gas by bars
More than half of the gas in the central kpc comes from outsideand is too high (and recent) to have been consumed through SFRate of 0.5-1 Mo/yr
No relation, however, to the AGN activity

In barred galaxies, star formation is influenced by the gas flowthe resonances, the accumulation in rings
Offset of 320 pc in average between Hα arms and CO arms (Sheth 01)
The gas flows can inhibit star formation, when too fast(Reynaud & Downes, NGC 1530, 1999)Favors SF when accumulation in rings, nuclear bars
Two patterns are sometimes required by observations of morphologyand dynamics (cf M100, method of gas response in the potential derived from the NIR images)

Polar Ring Galaxies (PRG)
PRG are composed of an early-type hostsurrounded by a gas+stars perpendicular ring
The polar ring is akin to late-type galaxieslarge amount of HI, young stars, blue colors
Unique opportunity to check the shape ofdark matter halo
But how to relate DM of PRG to DM ofspiral progenitors?

41
Molecular gas in Polar RingsPRG are due either to accreted gas from a companionor are formed in a merger of two galaxies with orthogonal disk orientations (Bekki 1998, Bournaud & Combes 2003)
The polar ring is due to gas resettling in the polar plane, butstars are dispersed The ages of the stars in the polar ring date the event
CO detected in polar rings (Taniguchi et al 90, Combeset al 92, Watson et al 1994)can give insight in the event: metallicity formed from therecent star formation, or the polar galaxy non destroyed?
Used to determine the flattening of the dark matter (3D potential probed)

Molecular gas in EllipticalsMost E-galaxies possess accreted gas, already detected in HI(Knapp et al 1979, van Gorkom et al 1997)
Either the remnant of the merger event at their birth, or accretion of small gas-rich companions
Dust through IRAS (Knapp et al 1989), et CO moleculesare also detected (Lees et al 1991, Wiklind et al 1995)
M(H2)/M(HI) 2-5 times lower than in spiral galaxiesmore in field ellipticalsLow excitation temperatureSmall gas-to-dust ratio (but correlated to low Tdust)

Shells around ellipticals
The merging events giving birth to ellipticals are also forming shells
Stellar shells known from Malin & Carter (1983) unsharp masking
Schweizer (1983) remark that they accompany mergers Simulations confirm the scenario (Quinn 84, Dupraz & Combes 87)The stars of the small companion, disrupted in the interactionphase wrap in the E-galaxy potential
Recently, HI gas detected in shells (Schiminovich, 1994, 95)Normally, the diffuse gas condenses to the center in the phase-wrapprocess
But CO is now also detected in shells (Charmandaris et al 2000)

CO dragged outside galaxies
Interactions of galaxies, formation of tidal dwarfsCO detected in these small dwarfs, supposed to be formed in the interactionBraine et al (2000, 01)
Is the molecular gas dragged with the tidal tail gas and reclump in the tidal dwarf, or the molecular gas re-formed in the collapse?Trigger some star formation, but in general insufficient to havesolar metallicityMore likely that the gas and metals come from the main galaxies
Fate of these tidal dwarfs? In general, they are re-accretedand merge

Conclusions•The CO emission depends on type, relative to HI,but could be only a metallicity effect
•Galaxies can have large gas mass fractions, when they have lowsurface brightness, and are therefore stable (LSB)Unevolved, extended, un-concentrated systems, may contain H2
but have low CO emissionNo companion, large spin
•CO is a good tracer of density waves, spirals, bars, rings
•Radial distribution overall exponential, following the opticalBut large departures, contrary to stars

•Elliptical galaxies contain H2, with lower M(H2)/M(HI)
either due to excitation? Different conversion?
•Gas coming from accretionNo correlation with stellar component
•CO emission very useful to trace density, star formationperturbations like warps, polar rings, gas dragged out of thespiral planes
