The nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253 was mapped in the ammonia $(J, K) = (1, 1), (2, 2)$, and $(3, 3)$ lines in the 23 GHz region with the Very Large Array. The angular resolutions were about $4 {{}^{\prime \prime }} \times 3 {{}^{\prime \prime }}$. The distributions of the three lines were different from one another. The $(1, 1)$ and $(3, 3)$ lines were distributed along the bar mainly at the nort...
