New ALMA CO(1-0) data at 100-pc resolution reveal jet-induced molecular cloud disruption in NGC 1316, producing high extended gas fraction, broad lines, and elevated line ratios near the jet.
Analysis of 3161 molecular clouds reveals oblate shapes aligned with the galactic plane, a flatter velocity dispersion-size relation than Larson's law, strong mass-size correlation, and that 12CO traces diffuse turbulent gas while C18O traces gravity-dominated regions.
New CO(2-1) observations of 112 clumps in outer Galactic clouds (14-23 kpc) yield velocity dispersion-size and mass-size power laws plus a declining virial parameter trend indicating most clumps are gravitationally unbound.
