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.…

Discovery of possible molecular counterparts to the infrared Double Helix Nebula in the Galactic center

R. Enokiya, K. Torii, M. Schultheis +23

We have discovered two molecular features at radial velocities of -35 km/s and 0 km/s toward the infrared Double Helix Nebula (DHN) in the Galactic center with NANTEN2. The two fea…

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…

Molecular clouds in the Trifid nebula M20; Possible evidence for a cloud-cloud collision in triggering the formation of the first generation stars

K. Torii, R. Enokiya, H. Sano +14

A large-scale study of the molecular clouds toward the Trifid nebula, M20, has been made in the J=2-1 and J=1-0 transitions of 12CO and 13CO. M20 is ionized predominantly by an O7.…

Dense Clumps in Giant Molecular Clouds in the Large Magellanic Cloud: Density and Temperature Derived from CO() Observations

Tetsuhiro Minamidani, Takanori Tanaka, Yoji Mizuno +17

In order to precisely determine temperature and density of molecular gas in the Large Magellanic Cloud, we made observations of optically thin CO() transition by usin…

High Excitation Molecular Gas in the Galactic Center Loops; 12CO(J =2-1 and J =3-2) Observations

Natsuko Kudo, Kazufumi Torii, Mami Machida +18

We have carried out 12CO(J =2-1) and 12CO(J =3-2) observations at spatial resolutions of 1.0-3.8 pc toward the entirety of loops 1 and 2 and part of loop 3 in the Galactic center w…
