Cold massive cores are one of the earliest manifestations of high mass star formation. Following the detection of SiO emission from G333.125-0.562, a cold massive core, further investigations of the physics, chemistry and dynamics of this…

We present observations towards a high-mass ($\rm >40\,M_{\odot}$), low luminosity ($\rm <10\,L_{\odot}$) $\rm 70\,\mu$m dark molecular core G 28.34 S-A at 3.4 mm, using the IRAM 30 m telescope and the NOEMA interferometer. We report the…

Multiline observations of C18O and SiO isotopomers toward 33 molecular peaks in the Galactic center region, taken at the SEST, JCMT and HHT telescopes, are presented. The C18O presumably traces the total H_2 column density, while the SiO…

Infrared Dark Clouds are expected to harbor sources in different, very young evolutionary stages. To better characterize these differences, we observed a sample of 43 massive Infrared Dark Clouds, originally selected as candidate high-mass…

We used the IRAM Interferometer to obtain sub-arcsecond resolution observations of the high-mass star-forming region W3(OH) and its surroundings at a frequency of 220 GHz. With the improved angular resolution, we distinguish 3 peaks in the…

We find strong evidence for outflows originating in the dense molecular core NGC 6334 I(North): a 1000 Msol molecular core distinguished by its lack of HII regions and mid-IR emission. New observations were obtained of the SiO 2-1 and 5-4…

We present high-sensitivity 2'x4' maps of the J=2-1 rotational lines of SiO, CO, 13CO and C18O, observed toward the filamentary Infrared Dark Cloud (IRDC) G035.39-00.33. Single-pointing spectra of the SiO J=2-1 and J=3-2 lines toward…

Chemical composition of the massive cores forming high-mass stars can put some constrains on the time scale of the massive star formation: sulphur chemistry is of specific interest due to its rapid evolution in warm gas and because the…

We report molecular line observations, made with ASTE and SEST, and dust continuum observations at 0.87 mm, made with APEX, towards the cold dust core G305.136+0.068. The molecular observations show that the core is isolated and roughly…

We present a submm study of the massive hot core G327.3-0.6 that constrains its physical parameters and environment. The APEX telescope was used to image CO and N2H+ emission, to observe lines from other molecules toward a hot and a cold…

We present a multi-wavelength observational study towards the high-mass young stellar object G8.68-0.37. A single massive gas-and-dust core is observed in the (sub)millimeter continuum and molecular line emissions. We fitted the spectral…

We report new results from CARMA observations of both continuum and HCO+(1-0) emission at 3.4 mm from W3-SE, a molecular core of intermediate mass, together with the continuum observations at 1.1 and 0.85/0.45 mm with the SMA and JCMT. A…

We obtained the first view in H$^{13}$CO$^+$ $J=1-0$ and a high resolution map in thermal SiO lines of G0.11$-$0.11, which is a molecular cloud situated between the Galactic Center radio arc and Sgr A. From a comparison with previous line…

Aiming at a better understand of the physical and chemical processes in the hot molecular core stage of high-mass star formation, we observed the prototypical hot core G29.96-0.02 in the 862mu band with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) at…

We have mapped the J=1-0 line of SiO in a 1 degree x 12 arcmin. (lxb) region around the Galactic center (GC) with an angular resolution of 2 arcmin. (approx. 4 pc). In contrast to the spatial distribution of other high dipole moment…

The infrared dark cloud G359.94+0.17 is a conspicuous, opaque cloud, which is seen in silhouette against the Galactic center. We found unexpectedly strong (~50 Jy) maser emission of CH3OH at 44 GHz with additional weak 22 GHz H2O maser and…

We surveyed 81 dense molecular cores associated with regions of massive star formation and Sgr A in the 5_{05}-4_{04} and 10_{010}-9_{09} lines of HNCO. Line emission was detected towards 57 objects. Selected subsamples were also observed…

We present molecular line imaging observations of three massive molecular outflow sources, G333.6-0.2, G333.1-0.4, and G332.8-0.5, all of which also show evidence for infall, within the G333 giant molecular cloud (GMC). All three are within…

We present results of continuum and spectral line observations with ALMA and 22 GHz water (H$_2$O) maser observations using KaVA and VERA toward a high-mass star-forming region, G25.82-0.17. Multiple 1.3 mm continuum sources are revealed,…
