SMA/PdBI multiple line observations of the nearby Seyfert2 galaxy NGC
  1068: Shock related gas kinematics and heating in the central 100pc?
  We present high angular resolution (0.5-2.0") observations of the mm
continuum and the 12CO(J=3-2), 13CO(J=3-2), 13CO(J=2-1), C18O(J=2-1),
HCN(J=3-2), HCO+(J=4-3) and HCO+(J=3-2) line emission in the circumnuclear disk
(r=100pc) of the proto-typical Seyfert type-2 galaxy NGC1068, carried out with
the Submillimeter Array. We further include in our analysis new 13CO(J=1-0) and
improved 12CO(J=2-1) observations of NGC1068 at high angular resolution
(1.0-2.0") and sensitivity, conducted with the IRAM Plateau de Bure
Interferometer. Based on the complex dynamics of the molecular gas emission
indicating non-circular motions in the central ~100pc, we propose a scenario in
which part of the molecular gas in the circumnuclear disk of NGC1068 is
radially blown outwards as a result of shocks. This shock scenario is further
supported by quite warm (Tkin>=200K) and dense (nH2=10^4cm^-3) gas constrained
from the observed molecular line ratios. The HCN abundance in the circumnuclear
disk is found to be [HCN]/[12CO]=10^-3.5. This is slightly higher than the
abundances derived for galactic and extragalactic starforming/starbursting
regions. This results lends further support to X-ray enhanced HCN formation in
the circumnuclear disk of NGC1068, as suggested by earlier studies. The HCO+
abundance ([HCO+]/[12CO]=10^-5) appears to be somewhat lower than that of
galactic and extragalactic starforming/starbursting regions. When trying to fit
the cm to mm continuum emission by different thermal and non-thermal processes,
it appears that electron-scattered synchrotron emission yields the best results
while thermal free-free emission seems to over-predict the mm continuum
emission.
