Abstract

Millimeter CO observations of the galaxy NGC 4569 made in the frame of the NUGA survey are presented. A large mass of molecular gas is found in the inner 1.6 kpc that can efficiently feed the strong nuclear starburst. The impact of the starburst on the ISM can be seen in the morphology and physical state of the molecular gas. Analysis of the dynamics is in progress.
