Abstract

We report the results of our study of 436 giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in NGC5128 using dust extinction. The proposed technique allows us toprobe the extinction up to 10 magnitudes in this galaxy. The clump massspectrum, derived by a clumpfind algorithm, is consistent with a powerlaw, dN/dM ∞ M -α, with α = 2.3.
