AbstractWe have used the NRAO 12 m telescope to search for CO (J = 1-0) emission from the tidal tails of six merging or interacting galaxies. Although these plumes are H I-rich and several contain star forming regions, they are undetected in CO to low levels. The lack of strong CO emission from these plumes in conjunction with the presence of massive star formation is reminiscent of the situation in dwarf irregular galaxies, ...
