A Herschel and CARMA view of CO and [C II] in Hickson Compact groups
  Understanding the evolution of galaxies from the starforming blue cloud to
the quiescent red sequence has been revolutionized by observations taken with
Herschel Space Observatory, and the onset of the era of sensitive millimeter
interferometers, allowing astronomers to probe both cold dust as well as the
cool interstellar medium in a large set of galaxies with unprecedented
sensitivity. Recent Herschel observations of of H2-bright Hickson Compact
Groups of galaxies (HCGs) has shown that [CII] may be boosted in diffuse
shocked gas. CARMA CO(1-0) observations of these [CII]-bright HCGs has shown
that these turbulent systems also can show suppression of SF. Here we present
preliminary results from observations of HCGs with Herschel and CARMA, and
their [CII] and CO(1-0) properties to discuss how shocks influence galaxy
transitions and star formation.
