Molecular line signatures of cloud–cloud collisions [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 ABSTRACT Collisions between interstellar gas clouds are potentially an important mechanism for triggering star formation. This is because they are able to rapidly generate large masses of dense gas. Observationally, cloud collisions are often identified in position–velocity (PV) space through bridging features between intensity peaks ...

The Molecular Clouds in a Section of the Third Galactic Quadrant: Cloud Catalog
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We present results of cloud catalogs of ^12 CO, ^13 CO, and C ^18 O ( J = 1–0) in a section of the third Galactic quadrant over (195° < l < 220°, ∣ b ∣ < 5°) from the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting project.

Molecular Abundances in the Sgr a Molecular Cloud [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1992 We have obtained column densities for HCO+, HCO, HCS+, C3H2, HC5N, SiO, OCS, HCOOH, CH3CH2 OH, and CH3CCH toward Sgr A. The fractional abundance of SiO relative to molecular hydrogen in Sgr A is comparable to that for the Orion plateau, ~ 10−7 − 10−8, which may be a typical value for hot clouds.

Molecular-Clump Detection Based on an Improved YOLOv5 Joint Density Peak Clustering
Universe, 2023 The detection and analysis of molecular clumps can lead to a better understanding of star formation in the Milky Way. Herein, we present a molecular-clump-detection method based on improved YOLOv5 joint Density Peak Clustering (DPC). The method employs a

Study the Effect of Perturbation in the Evolution of the Filamentary Molecular Clouds [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2020 Observatory studies indicate that stars are caused by the collapse of dense molecular clouds, and thermal instability can be a factor in creating this collapse.

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.

Molecular Precursors of the RNA-World in Space: New Nitriles in the G+0.693−0.027 Molecular Cloud
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 Nitriles play a key role as molecular precursors in prebiotic experiments based on the RNA-world scenario for the origin of life. These chemical compounds could have been partially delivered to the young Earth from extraterrestrial objects, stressing the

Chemistry of Molecular Clouds [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1989 AbstractA discussion is presented of the chemistry of quiescent molecular clouds, and the effects of the presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules and of cosmic-ray induced ultraviolet photons are examined. A comparison is made with the chemistry occurring in molecular clouds that are subjected to shocks and the differences between ...

Giant Molecular Clouds in M31. I. Molecular Cloud Properties [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2007 We present Berkeley Illinois Maryland Association (BIMA) millimeter interferometer observations of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) along a spiral arm in M31. The observations consist of a survey using the compact configuration of the interferometer and follow-up, higher-resolution observations on a subset of the detections in the survey.
