The $l=-1.2^{\circ}$ region in the Galactic center has a high CO $J$=3-2/$J$=1-0 intensity ratio and extremely broad velocity width. This paper reports the detection of five expanding shells in the $l=-1.2^{\circ}$ region based on the CO…
We report the detection of a peculiar molecular cloud, CO 0.02-0.02, lying about 5' Galactic-east from the center of the Galaxy. (12)CO images taken with NRO 45 m telescope showed that it is relatively compact (about 3x4 pc^2) as well as…
The results of a submillimetre wavelength spectral line survey between 455.1 -- 507.4 GHz of the Orion-KL hot cloud core are reported. A total of 254 lines were detected to a main beam brightness temperature sensitivity ~ 1 - 3 K. The…
Large scale mapping observations of the 3P1-3P0 fine structure transition of atomic carbon (CI, 492 GHz) and the J=3-2 transition of CO (346 GHz) toward the Orion A molecular cloud have been carried out with the Mt. Fuji submillimeter-wave…
Studying molecular gas in the central regions of the star burst galaxies NGC4945 and Circinus enables us to characterize the physical conditions and compare them to previous local and high-z studies. We estimate temperature, molecular…

We report on sensitive far-infrared observations of $^{12}$CO pure rotational transitions in the OMC-1 core of Orion. The lines were observed with the Long Wavelength Spectrometer (LWS) in the grating mode on board the Infrared Space…
We made CO(1-0) observations of 103 lines of sight in the core and envelope of the high-latitude cloud MBM 40 to determine how the CO-H_2 conversion factor (X_CO) varies throughout the cloud. Calibrating X_CO with CH data at similar…
