We present IRAM 30 m observations of the central ˜1.6 kpc of the spiral galaxy M81. The molecular gas appears weak and with an unusual excitation physics. We discuss a possible link between low CO emission and weak FUV surface brightness.

Abstract
We present IRAM 30 m observations of the central ˜1.6 kpc of the spiral galaxy M81. The molecular gas appears weak and with an unusual excitation physics. We discuss a possible link between low CO emission and weak FUV surface brightness.
