Dynamically Driven Evolution of the Interstellar Medium in M51
J. Koda, N. Scoville, T. Sawada +20
We report the highest-fidelity observations of the spiral galaxy M51 in CO emission, revealing the evolution of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) vis-a-vis the large-scale galactic str…
Tracing star formation in galaxies with molecular line and continuum observations
K. Kohno, K. Muraoka, B. Hatsukade +14
We report our recent progress on extragalactic spectroscopic and continuum observations, including HCN(J=1-0), HCO(J=1-0), and CN(N=1-0) imaging surveys of local Seyfert and st…
The Elongations and Supersonic Motions of Molecular Clouds
Jin Koda, Tsuyoshi Sawada, Tetsuo Hasegawa +1
New 13CO data from the BU-FCRAO Milky Way Galactic Ring Survey (GRS) are analyzed to understand the shape and internal motions of molecular clouds. For a sample of more than five h…
A Molecular Face-on View of the Galactic Centre Region
T. Sawada, T. Hasegawa, T. Handa +1
We present a method to derive positions of molecular clouds along the lines of sight from a quantitative comparison between 2.6 mm CO emission lines and 18 cm OH absorption lines,…
