New JWST observations of Centaurus A detect H2 lines up to S(8) and map a warm molecular disk with a 20-pc cavity aligned to the jet, filamentary high-excitation structures, S-shaped kinematics, and an inward streamer, yielding a warm H2 mass of 5.6e5 solar masses heated by shocks.

First experimental determination of the [13C II] hyperfine-structure constants A1/2=810.71(11) MHz and A3/2=162.18(5) MHz from astronomical spectra.
Spatially resolved JWST spectroscopy of M82 reveals an average ortho-to-para H2 ratio half the equilibrium value, attributed to short cloud mixing timescales relative to spin conversion and recent rapid heating.
Advocates for SKA frequency coverage beyond 15 GHz to observe redshifted low-J CO, HCN and similar lines for cold molecular gas studies in high-redshift galaxies.
