NGC 253 and a proposed sequence for nuclear starbursts
TL;DR: The modest-luminosity, isolated starburst galaxy NGC 253 shows strong shocked molecular hydrogen emission from a 100 pc region centered on its nucleus as discussed by the authors. This emission can arise in an early stage of a nuclear starburst where supernova explosions lead to large amounts of shocked molecular gas through collisions of dense molecular clouds and cloud implosion.
