The Astronomical JournalTo reveal the origin of the mini-starbursts in the Milky Way, we carried out large-scale CO observations toward the RCW 106 giant molecular cloud (GMC) complex using the NANTEN2 4 m radio telescope operated by Nagoya University.

High altitude molecular clouds [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1994 A population of molecular clouds with a significantly greater scale height than that of Giant Molecular Clouds has been identified by examining maps of the latitude distribution of the $^{12}CO(1-0)$ emission in the first quadrant of the Galaxy. These clouds are found by identifying emission more than 2.6 times the scale-height away from the galactic ...

Cloud-to-cloud Velocity Dispersions Across a Local Arm Segment
The Astrophysical JournalUsing a large sample of 9617 molecular clouds (MCs) from the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting survey, we mainly measure one-dimensional cloud-to-cloud velocity dispersions across a 450 deg ^2 segment of the Local Arm in the Galactic second quadrant.

UniverseIn the present work, we suggest a new approach for studying the equilibrium states of an hydrodynamic isothermal turbulent self-gravitating system as a statistical model for a molecular cloud. The main hypothesis is that the local turbulent motion of the

On the Flux–Intensity Relation of Molecular Clouds
The Astrophysical Journal LettersIn this work, we report a study on the relationship between flux and intensity for molecular clouds. Our analysis is established on high-quality CO images from the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting project.

Herschel/HIFI observations of molecular lines toward G10.47+0.03
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space SciencesWe present a spectral line analysis of the hot molecular core G10.47 + 0.03 (hereafter, G10). Our aim is to determine molecular abundances and excitation conditions across a wide spectral range inaccessible to ground-based observatories.

Examining Turbulence in Galactic Molecular Clouds. I. A Statistical Analysis of Velocity Structures
The Astrophysical JournalWe present a systematic analysis of the velocity structure functions (VSFs) of 167 molecular clouds with angular sizes greater than ~176 arcmin ^2 in three sectors of the Galactic midplane.

Star Formation in Molecular Clouds [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1985 We examine how star formation occurs in the Galaxy and come to the following conclusions. (1) The distribution of newly-born stars in the Galaxy depends on the origin of giant-molecular-cloud complexes. For individual complexes, we favor the mechanism of Parker's instability behind galactic shocks.
