FOREST unbiased Galactic plane imaging survey with the Nobeyama 45 m telescope (FUGIN): Possible evidence of cloud-cloud collisions triggering high-mass star formation in the giant molecular cloud M16 (Eagle Nebula)
Atsushi Nishimura, Shinji Fujita, Mikito Kohno +12
M16, the Eagle Nebula, is an outstanding \HII \ region which exhibits extensive high-mass star formation and hosts remarkable "pillars". We herein obtained new CO 1-0 da…
FOREST Unbiased Galactic plane Imaging survey with the Nobeyama 45 m telescope (FUGIN). VI. Dense gas and mini-starbursts in the W43 giant molecular cloud complex
Mikito Kohno, Kengo Tachihara, Kazufumi Torii +18
We performed new large-scale CO, CO, and CO 1--0 observations of the W43 giant molecular cloud complex in the tangential direction of the Scutum arm ($l\si…
FOREST Unbiased Galactic Plane Imaging Survey with the Nobeyama 45-m Telescope (FUGIN) V: Dense gas mass fraction of molecular gas in the Galactic plane
Kazufumi Torii, Shinji Fujita, Atsushi Nishimura +11
Recent observations of the nearby Galactic molecular clouds indicate that the dense gas in molecular clouds have quasi-universal properties on star formation, and observational stu…
Discovery of molecular and atomic clouds associated with the gamma-ray supernova remnant Kesteven 79
M. Kuriki, H. Sano, N. Kuno +21
We carried out CO( = 1-0) observations of the Galactic gamma-ray supernova remnant (SNR) Kesteven 79 using the Nobeyama Radio Observatory 45 m radio telescope, which has…
Large-scale CO J=1-0 observations of the giant molecular cloud associated with the infrared ring N35 with the Nobeyama 45-m telescope
Kazufumi Torii, Shinji Fujita, Mitsuhiro Matsuo +14
We report an observational study of the giant molecular cloud (GMC) associated with the Galactic infrared ring-like structure N35 and two nearby HII regions G024.392+00.072 (HII re…
FOREST Unbiased Galactic plane Imaging survey with the Nobeyama 45-m telescope (FUGIN) I: Project Overview and Initial Results
Tomofumi Umemoto, Tetsuhiro Minamidani, Nario Kuno +41
The FOREST Unbiased Galactic plane Imaging survey with the Nobeyama 45-m telescope (FUGIN) project is one of the legacy projects using the new multi-beam FOREST receiver installed…
FOREST Unbiased Galactic plane Imaging survey with the Nobeyama 45-m telescope (FUGIN) 2: Possible evidence for formation of NGC~6618 cluster in M17 by cloud-cloud collision
Atsushi Nishimura, Tetsuhiro Minamidani, Tomofumi Umemoto +15
We present CO 1--0, CO 1--0 and CO 1--0 images of the M17 giant molecular clouds obtained as part of FUGIN (FOREST Ultra-wide Galactic Plane Survey…
FOREST Unbiased Galactic plane Imaging survey with the Nobeyama 45-m telescope (FUGIN) : Molecular clouds toward W33 ; possible evidence for a cloud-cloud collision triggering O star formation
Mikito Kohno, Kazufumi Torii, Kengo Tachihara +14
We observed molecular clouds in the W33 high-mass star-forming region associated with compact and extended HII regions using the NANTEN2 telescope as well as the Nobeyama 45-m tele…
CO observations of the molecular gas in the galactic HII region Sh2-48; Evidence for cloud-cloud collision as a trigger of high-mass star formation
Kazufumi Torii, Yusuke Hattori, Mitsuhiro Matsuo +15
Sh2-48 is a Galactic HII region located at 3.8 kpc with an O9.5-type star identified at its center. As a part of the FOREST Unbiased Galactic plane Imaging survey using the Nobeyam…
