We have carried out large scale 12CO and 13CO observations with a mm/sub-mm telescope NANTEN toward a loop-like structure in far infrared whose angular extent is about 20x20 degrees around (l, b) ~ (109, -45) in Pegasus. The 12CO…

We present 107 maps of continuum emission at 350 microns from Galactic molecular clumps. Observed sources were mainly selected from the Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey (BGPS) catalog, with 3 additional maps covering star forming regions in…

We have mapped the CO(3-2) line emission from several nearby galaxies, using the Heinrich-Hertz-Telescope. Our investigation includes twelve galaxies of various types and in different stages of star forming activity. The main results of…
