First Detection of Molecular Gas in the Giant Low Surface Brightness Galaxy Malin 1
After over three decades of unsuccessful attempts, we report the first detection of molecular gas emission in Malin 1, the largest spiral galaxy observed to date, and one of the most iconic giant low surface brightness galaxies. Using Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, we detect significant 12CO (J = 1–0) emission in the galaxy's central
