Outflow and Infall in a Sample of Massive Star Forming Regions II: Large Scale Kinematics
P. D Klaassen, C. D Wilson
We present maps of seven sources selected from Klaassen & Wilson (2007a) in SiO (J=8-7) and HCO and HCO (J=4-3) which were obtained using HARP-B on the James Clerk M…
Clarifying the nature of the brightest submillimetre sources: interferometric imaging of LH850.02
J. D. Younger, J. S. Dunlop, A. B. Peck +14
We present high-resolution interferometric imaging of LH850.02, the brightest 850- and 1200-micron submillimetre (submm) galaxy in the Lockman Hole. Our observations were made at 8…
Outflow and Accretion in Massive Star Forming Regions
P. D. Klaassen, C. D. Wilson
In order to distinguish between the various components of massive star forming regions (i.e. infalling, outflowing and rotating gas structures) within our own Galaxy, we require hi…
Upper limits to the water abundance in starburst galaxies
C. D. Wilson, R. S. Booth, A. O. H. Oloffson +11
We have searched for emission from the 557 GHz ortho-water line in the interstellar medium of six nearby starburst galaxies. We used the Odin satellite to observe the 1_10-1_01 tra…
An Observational Perspective of Low Mass Dense Cores II: Evolution towards the Initial Mass Function
D. Ward-Thompson, P. Andre, R. Crutcher +3
We review the properties of low mass dense molecular cloud cores, including starless, prestellar, and Class 0 protostellar cores, as derived from observations. In particular we dis…
High Mass Star Formation. II. The Mass Function of Submillimeter Clumps in M17
M. A. Reid, C. D. Wilson
We have mapped an approximately 5.5 by 5.5 pc portion of the M17 massive star-forming region in both 850 and 450 micron dust continuum emission using the Submillimeter Common-User…
Searching for O in the SMC:Constraints on Oxygen Chemistry at Low Metallicities
C. D. Wilson, A. O. H. Olofsson, L. Pagani +5
We present a 39 h integration with the Odin satellite on the ground-state 118.75 GHz line of O2 towards the region of strongest molecular emission in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Ou…
Extended Molecular Gas in the Nearby Starburst Galaxy Maffei 2
A. M. Mason, C. D. Wilson
We present a 9'x9' fully-sampled map of the CO J=1-0 emission in the nearby starburst galaxy Maffei 2 obtained at the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory. The map reveals prev…
First detection of NH3 (1,0 - 0,0) from a low mass cloud core: On the low ammonia abundance of the rho Oph A core
R. Liseau, B. Larsson, A. Brandeker +35
Odin has successfully observed the molecular core rho Oph A in the 572.5 GHz rotational ground state line of ammonia, NH3 (J,K = 1,0 - 0,0). The interpretation of this result makes…
First NH3 detection of the Orion Bar
B. Larsson, R. Liseau, P. Bergman +33
Odin has successfully observed three regions in the Orion A cloud, i.e. Ori KL, Ori S and the Orion Bar, in the 572.5 GHz rotational ground state line of ammonia, ortho-NH3 (J,K) =…
Physical Conditions and Spatial Structure in the Molecular Interstellar Medium of M33
C. D. Wilson
In this review, I discuss recent detailed studies of individual molecular clouds in M33 in higher rotational transitions of CO, 13CO, and the fine structure line of atomic carbon.…
High-Resolution Imaging of Molecular Gas and Dust in the Antennae (NGC 4038/39): Super Giant Molecular Complexes
C. D. Wilson, N. Scoville, S. C. Madden +1
We present new aperture synthesis CO maps of the Antennae (NGC 4038/39) obtained with the Caltech Millimeter Array. These sensitive images show molecular emission associated with t…

J. Giannakopoulou-Creighton, M. Fich, C. D. Wilson
The molecular components of three giant HII regions (NGC 5461, NGC 5462, NGC 5471) in the galaxy M101 are investigated with new observations from the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope,…
The Large-scale J=3-2 and J=2-1 CO Emission from M17 and its Implications for Extragalactic CO Observations
