AstrochemistryThe science of the abundance and reaction
of chemical elements and molecules in the universe
→ very ambiguous term
1. science of the structure and synthesis model → strict sense 2. underlying physical processes leading to molecular
formation and destruction (dust chemistry, shock chemistry) 3. abundance of molecules in a certain region
4. (nucleo-)synthesis 5. abundance of chemical elements and their isotopes
→ In addition, astronomers use the term “ chemistry ” in

Galaxy and galaxy merger
early stage mid stage late stage
Most of galaxies have experienced galaxy and galaxy merger. (or in the future)
Not only change morphology, but affect activity of galaxies. (e.g., AGN, starburst activity)
Important event for the galaxy evolution.
Our science goal
early stage mid stage late stage
To establish the chemical evolution scenario during galaxy merger. Where (When, How) molecules are enhanced ? → AGN or SB might affect chemistry.
We can investigate time evolution by observing merging galaxy (separation of two galaxies roughly mean the time from interaction )
How chemical (or physical) properties evolve ?

LMT (Large Millimeter Telescope @ Mexico) have detected many molecules.
What molecules are seen when merger proceeded ?

We check those suggestions with a new eye of astrochemistry.
South Nucleus AGN galaxy
Both has molecular gas outflow
North Nucleus SB galaxy

Future Works
Chemistry → Where (When, How) PDR, XDR, shock, and etc… is enhanced
Physical properties → derive the temperature, density, and etc … e.g., using RADEX code for 12CO(3-2),12CO(1-0), and 13CO(1-0)
Kinematics → Which lines are seen in outflowing gas ? The physical properties of outflowing gas. inflowing gas ?
What occur in NGC 3256 ?
early stage mid stage late stage
Line survey for many merging galaxies with ALMA (following cycle) ↓
achieve the science goal To establish the chemical evolution scenario
during galaxy merger.
Future Works
1. What is astrochemistry ?; The science of the abundance and reaction of chemical elements and molecules in the universe
2. NGC 3256 case study; LMT (single dish)→ ALMA (Interferomter)
3. ALMA new results;many lines, spatially resolved image shock and CH3OH, HCN/HCO+ … etc
4. Future Works;Chemical, Physical, and Kinematical explanation We are planning ALMA observation for other interacting galaxies.
