- We present the first spatially resolved study of molecular gas in the vicinity of a gamma-ray burst (GRB), using CO(2-1) emission-line observations with the Atacama Large Millimetre Array at ∼50 pc scales. The host galaxy of GRB 980425 contains a ring of high column density H i gas, which is likely to have formed due to a collision between the GRB host and its companion galaxy, within which the GRB is located. We detect 11 molecular gas clumps in the galaxy, 7 of which are within the gas ring. The clump closest to the GRB position is at a projected separation of ∼280 pc. Although it is plausible that the GRB progenitor was ejected from clusters formed in this clump, we argue that the in situ formation of the GRB progenitor is the most likely scenario. We measure the molecular gas masses of the clumps and find them to be sufficient for forming massive star clusters. The molecular gas depletion times of the clumps show a variation of ∼2 dex, comparable with the large variation in depletion times found in starburst galaxies in the nearby universe. This demonstrates the presence of starburst modes of star formation on local scales in the galaxy, even while the galaxy as a whole cannot be categorized as a starburst based on its global properties. Our findings suggest that the progenitor of GRB 9802425 was originated in a young massive star cluster formed in the starburst mode of star formation.

- The synthetic steroid 21-acetoxy-17α-4-pregnene-3,20-dione, C 23H32O4, crystallizes with a single molecule in the asymmetric unit. The molecule contains four fused rings, typical of steroids. The cyclohexene ring A has nearly the conformation of a boat. One saturated six-membered ring, B, is intermediate between chair and half-chair conformations, while the other six-membered ring, C, is essentially a chair. The five-membered ring D tends towards a twist conformation. The ring junction A/B is quasi-trans, whereas the ring junctions B/C and C/D are both trans. The molecule is slightly convex towards the β side.

- The title compound, C21H28O4, a synthetic glucocorticoid, crystallizes with a single molecule in the asymmetric unit. Ring A is almost in a half-chair conformation, rings B and C are almost in chair conformations, and ring D is between a twist and a 13β-envelope conformation. The A/B ring junction is quasi-trans, whereas the B/C and C/D ring junctions both approach trans characteristics. The molecule as a whole is slightly convex towards the β side, with an angle of 9.60(2)° between the C10-C19 and C13-C18 vectors. Molecular-packing and hydrogen-bonding (both intra- and intermolecular) interactions play a major role in the structural association of the compound.

A Superluminous Supernova in High Surface Density Molecular Gas within the Bar of a Metal-rich Galaxy

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We report the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of the metal-rich host galaxy of superluminous supernova (SLSN) PTF10tpz, a barred spiral galaxy at z = 0.03994. We find the CO(1-0) emission to be confined within the bar of the galaxy. The distribution and kinematics of molecular gas in the host galaxy resemble gas flows along two lanes running from the tips of the bar toward the galaxy center. These gas lanes end in a gaseous structure in the inner region of the galaxy, likely associated with an inner Lindblad resonance. The interaction between the large-scale gas flows in the bar and the gas in the inner region plausibly leads to the formation of massive molecular clouds and consequently massive clusters. This in turn can result in formation of massive stars, and thus the likely progenitor of the SLSN in a young, massive cluster. This picture is consistent with SLSN PTF10tpz being located near the intersection regions of the gas lanes and the inner structure. It is also supported by the high molecular gas surface densities that we find in the vicinity of the SLSN, surface densities that are comparable with those in interacting galaxies or starburst regions in nearby galaxies. Our findings therefore suggest in situ formation of massive stars due to the internal dynamics of the host galaxy and also lend support to high densities being favorable conditions for formation of SLSN progenitors.
