Abstract
We demonstrate the diagnostic value of para-formaldehyde (p-H 2 CO) as a tracer of the density and the temperature of the molecular gas in external galaxies using the prototypical starburst galaxy M 82 as an example. We also report the discovery of the methanol line CH 3 OH(4 2 → 3 1 , E ) from M 82.
