| Abstract: |
A small sample of 5 bright luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) was observed and the CO(J=3→2) mapping results reveal the gas distribution concentrated on the galactic nuclei. For NGC 3256, the maps in the CO(3−2), (4−3) and (6−5) transitions were obtained. Together with the measurements in the lower transitions from the literatures, the peak of the CO line spectral energy distribution was found at CO(5−4). Local LIRG NGC 3256 shows slightly lower excitation conditions than the submm galaxies (SMGs). |
