We observe 1.3~mm spectral lines at 2000~AU resolution toward four massive molecular clouds in the Central Molecular Zone of the Galaxy to investigate their star formation activities. We focus on several potential shock tracers that are…

We present Submillimeter Array (SMA) observations of seven massive molecular clumps which are dark in the far-infrared for wavelengths up to 70 $\mu$m. Our 1.3 mm continuum images reveal 44 dense cores, with gas masses ranging from 1.4 to…

We present 1D radiative transfer modelling of the envelopes of a sample of 18 low-mass protostars and pre-stellar cores with the aim of setting up realistic physical models, for use in a chemical description of the sources. The density and…

New observations of 11 compact galaxies in the 12CO J=2-1 and J=3-2 transitions and literature data have been used to construct accurate line ratios in matched beams allowing LVG modelling of physical parameters. Fitting a single gas…

We have mapped four massive cores in Orion using the \ammonia (J,K) = (1,1) and (J,K) = (2,2) inversion transitions, as part of our effort to study the pre--protostellar phase of massive star formation. These cores were selected to be…

We investigate the molecular gas content and the excitation and fragmentation properties in the central region of the spiral galaxy Messier 81 in both the ^{12}CO(1-0) and ^{12}CO(2-1) transitions. We have recently observed the two…

The Galactic edge at Galactocentric distances of 14\,--\,22\,kpc provides an ideal laboratory to study molecular clouds in an environment that is different from the solar neighborhood, due to its lower gas density, lower metallicity, and…

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…

We revisit the galaxy cluster RXC J1504-0248, a remarkable example of a structure with a strong cool core in a near redshift ($z = 0.216$). We performed a combined analysis using photometric and spectroscopic data obtained at Gemini South…

Using the IRAM 30-m telescope, we have obtained 12CO J=1-0 and 2-1 spectral line observations toward the nuclear regions of 15 edge-on, low surface brightness (LSB) spiral galaxies. Our sample comprises extreme late-type LSB spirals with…

Using the 13.7 m telescope of Purple Mountain Observatory (PMO), a survey of J=1-0 lines of CO and its isotopes was carried out towards 98 methanol maser sources in January 2008. Eighty-five sources have infrared counterparts within one…

Neither HI nor CO emission can reveal a significant quantity of so-called dark gas in the interstellar medium (ISM). It is considered that CO-dark molecular gas (DMG), the molecular gas with no or weak CO emission, dominates dark gas. We…

We carried out deep searches for CO line emission in the outer disk of M33, at R>7 kpc, and examined the dynamical conditions that can explain variations in the mass distribution of the molecular cloud throughout the disk of M33. We used…

We present measurements of the emission from the centers of fifteen spiral galaxies in the 3P1-3P0 [CI] fine-structure transition at 492 GHz. Observed galaxy centers range from quiescent to starburst to active. The intensities of neutral…

We report the X-ray analysis of a sample of candidate high-redshift (1<z<2) FRI sources from the sample of Chiaberge et al. (2009), observed in the Chandra COSMOS field (C-COSMOS). Our main goals are to study their nuclear properties by…

We analyze large scale mapping observations of the molecular lines in the 12CO (J=2-1), 12CO (J=3-2), 13CO (J=2-1), and 13CO (J=3-2) transition emissions toward the Cepheus B molecular cloud with the KOSMA 3m-telescope. The integrated…

We present spectral line images of [CI] 809 GHz, CO J=1-0 115 GHz and HI 1.4 GHz line emission, and calculate the corresponding C, CO and H column densities, for a sinuous, quiescent Giant Molecular Cloud about 5 kpc distant along the…

We used the IRAM Interferometer to detect CO(3-2), CO(7-6), and 1.3 mm dust continuum emission from the submillimeter galaxy SMM J14011+0252 at a redshift of 2.6. Contrary to a recent claim that the CO was extended over 6.6 arcsec (57 kpc),…

We present new interferometric $^{12}CO$(1-0) and single-dish CO(3-2) observations of the central parts of D478, a large (> 200 pc) dark dust cloud located in a quiescent region of the inner disk of M31 where single-dish CO(1-0) and CO(2-1)…
