The CHIMERA Survey: The first CO detection in Leo T, the lowest mass known galaxy still hosting cold molecular gas
The CHIMERA survey detects three CO(1-0) clouds in Leo T, a 10^5 M_sun dwarf galaxy, with virial masses around 5e3 M_sun each and CO-to-H2 conversion factors up to ~155, and finds one cloud that may be escaping the galaxy.
