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…
Molecular gas in a Spitzer bubble N4: possible evidence for cloud-cloud collisions as a trigger of massive star formation
Shinji Fujita, Kazufumi Torii, Kengo Tachihara +18
Herein, we present the 12CO (J=1-0) and 13CO (J=1-0) emission line observations via the FOREST Unbiased Galactic plane Imaging survey with the Nobeyama 45-m telescope (FUGIN) towar…
FOREST Unbiased Galactic Plane Imaging Survey with the Nobeyama 45-m Telescope (FUGIN) IV: Galactic Shock Wave and Molecular Bow Shock in the 4-kpc Arm of the Galaxy
Y. Sofue, M. Kohno, K. Torii +9
The FUGIN CO survey with the Nobeyama 45-m Telescope revealed the 3D structure of a galactic shock wave in the tangential direction of the 4-kpc molecular arm. The shock front is l…
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…
Massive star formation in W51A triggered by cloud-cloud collisions
Shinji Fujita, Kazufumi Torii, Nario Kuno +18
W51A is one of the most active star-forming region in our Galaxy, which contains giant molecular clouds with a total mass of 10^6 Msun. The molecular clouds have multiple velocity…
Large-scale CO J=1-0 observations of the giant molecular cloud associated with the infrared ring N35 with the Nobeyama 45-m telescope
