Description

Dense pre-stellar molecular clumps have been well studied extensively in the Milky, however, little has been done in understanding prestellar mollecular clumps in external galaxies due to their distance and low resolution telescopes. This leaves an important gap in understanding how stars form under different galactic environments, with the coming of ALMA telescope which offers high resolution, it is now possible to have such studies in the external galaxies. The aim of this work is to employ high resolution ALMA observations of ¹²CO(2–1) and ¹³CO(2–1) data to study clumps in M33 galaxy. This work is expected to provide new insights into, clump properties in low-metallicity environments and improve our understanding of environmental variations of clumps.
