The jet and arc molecular clouds toward Westerlund 2, RCW 49, and HESS J1023-575; 12CO and 13CO (J=2-1 and J=1-0) observations with NANTEN2 and Mopra Telescope

N. Furukawa, A. Ohama, T. Fukuda +20

We have made new CO observations of two molecular clouds, which we call "jet" and "arc" clouds, toward the stellar cluster Westerlund 2 and the TeV gamma-ray source HESS J1023-575.…

Molecular Clouds Toward the Super Star Cluster NGC3603; Possible Evidence for a Cloud-Cloud Collision in Triggering the Cluster Formation

Yasuo Fukui, Akio Ohama, Naoki Hanaoka +17

We present new large field observations of molecular clouds with NANTEN2 toward the super star cluster NGC3603 in the transitions 12CO(J=2-1, J=1-0) and 13CO(J=2-1, J=1-0). We sugg…

Temperature and Density Distribution in the Molecular Gas Toward Westerlund 2: Further Evidence for Physical Association

Akio Ohama, Joanne R. Dawson, Naoko Furukawa +10

Furukawa et al. 2009 reported the existence of a large mass of molecular gas associated with the super star cluster Westerlund 2 and the surrounding HII region RCW49, based on a st…

Molecular clouds towards RCW 49 and Westerlund 2; Evidence for cluster formation triggered by cloud-cloud collision

Naoko Furukawa, Joanne R. Dawson, Akio Ohama +4

We have made CO(J=2-1) observations towards the HII region RCW 49 and its ionizing source, the rich stellar cluster Westerlund 2 (hereafter Wd2), with the NANTEN2 sub-mm telescope.…
