We describe and refine the masked moment method used to suppress noise in Galactic and extragalactic spectral line surveys. By applying the refined technique to an essentially noise-free CO molecular cloud survey with Gaussian noise added, we determine the optimum masking parameters for typical CO surveys such as those presented in Dame et al. (2001, ApJ, 547, 792)

    astro-ph.GA 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A 24,724-cloud catalog from the MWISP CO survey reveals nearby sheet-like curtain clouds, interarm spurs, a ~220 pc inner molecular disk thickness, and a falling cloud velocity dispersion with galactocentric radius.

    astro-ph.GA 2025-07 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    Three of five type-1 AGN observed with ALMA follow the dense gas to star formation scaling relation, and optical and sub-millimetre excitation classifications agree where all lines are detected.

    astro-ph.GA 2025-09 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A new ALMA-based dynamical model confirms the central black hole of NGC 7052 weighs about 2.5 billion solar masses and revises the galaxy's I-band stellar mass-to-light ratio down by 10%.
