The Astrophysical Journal, 1984 CO observations of the peculiar galaxy M82 have been made at 79 positions using the 14 m FCRAO telescope (HPBW = 50'') in order to obtain a fully sampled map of the central 2 kpc as well as the radial distribution of molecular gas out to 3 kpc along the major axis.

Discovery of the Pigtail Molecular Cloud in the Galactic Center
, 2012 This paper reports the discovery of a helical molecular cloud in the central molecular zone (CMZ) of our Galaxy. This "pigtail" molecular cloud appears at (l, b, V_LSR) ~ (-0.7deg, +0.0deg, -70 to -30 km/s), with a spatial size of ~ (20 pc)^2 and a mass ...

Evolving molecular cloud structure and the column density probability distribution function [PDF]
, 2014 The structure of molecular clouds can be characterized with the probability distribution function (PDF) of the mass surface density. In particular, the properties of the distribution can reveal the nature of the turbulence and star formation present ...

Molecular clouds in the center of M 81 [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2007 We investigate the molecular gas content and the excitation and fragmentation properties in the central region of the spiral galaxy Messier 81 in both the ^{12}CO(1-0) and ^{12}CO(2-1) transitions. We have recently observed the two transitions of CO in the M~81 center with A, B, and HERA receivers of the IRAM 30-m telescope.

Anchoring Magnetic Field in Turbulent Molecular Clouds [PDF]
, 2009 One of the key problems in star formation research is to determine the role of magnetic fields. Starting from the atomic inter-cloud medium (ICM) which has density nH ~ 1 per cubic cm, gas must accumulate from a volume several hundred pc across in order ...

Possibilities for Methanogenic and Acetogenic Life in Molecular Clouds
LifeAccording to panspermia, life on Earth may have originated from life forms transported through space from elsewhere. These life forms could have passed through molecular clouds, where the process of methanogenesis could have provided enough energy to ...

Comparative Analysis of Molecular Clouds in M31, M33 and the Milky Way [PDF]
, 2007 We present BIMA observations of a 2$\arcmin$ field in the northeastern spiral arm of M31. In this region we find six giant molecular clouds that have a mean diameter of 57$\pm$13 pc, a mean velocity width of 6.5$\pm$1.2 \kms, and a mean molecular mass of
