The $l\!=\!+1.\!\!^\circ3$ region in the Galactic center is characterized by multiple shell-like structures and their extremely broad velocity widths. We revisit the molecular superbubble hypothesis for this region, based on high resolution…

We report the results of molecular line observations toward the l=1.3 deg complex, ananomalous cloud complex in the central molecular zone of the Galaxy. We have taken high resolution maps of the CO J=1-0, HCN J=1-0, HCO+ J=1-0, SiO J=1-0…

We investigate the three-dimensional structure of the so-called ``200-pc expanding molecular ring" in the Galactic Center by analyzing (b, Vlsr) diagrams of the 13CO(J=1-0) line emission from the Bell-Telephone Laboratory survey. We show…

We present the discovery of expanding spherical shells around low to intermediate-mass young stars in the Orion A giant molecular cloud using observations of $^{12}$CO (1-0) and $^{13}$CO (1-0) from the Nobeyama Radio Observatory 45-meter…

We mapped the ultra-high-velocity feature (the "Bullet") detected in the expanding molecular shell associated with the W44 supernova remnant using the Nobeyama Radio Observatory 45-m telescope and the ASTE 10-m telescope. The Bullet clearly…

We present high-frequency Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) continuum and spectral line (NH3, H64${\alpha}$, and H63${\alpha}$) observations of the Galactic Center Radio Arc region, covering the Sickle H II region, the Quintuplet…

We present evidence for an expanding superbubble in M82 (diameter: ~130 pc, expansion velocity: ~45 km/s, mass: ~8*10^6 SM). It is seen in the 12CO(J=1-0), 12CO(J=2-1), 13CO(J=1-0) and C18O(J=1-0) lines. The superbubble is centred around…

We have discovered an energetic high-velocity compact cloud CO$-$0.31+0.11 in the central molecular zone of our Galaxy. CO$-$0.31+0.11 is located at a projected distance of $\sim 45$ pc from the Galactic nucleus Sgr A$^*$. It is…

Velocity profiles of a line of H$_3^+$ at 3.7 $\mu$m produced in warm diffuse gas have been observed toward 18 stars in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of the Galaxy. Their longitude-velocity diagram indicates that the gas is radially…

We present for the first time the detection of mid-J CO line emission in the outskirts of an evolved massive star, which indicates the presence of warm and/or high density molecular gas. Aiming to learn about the interplay between evolved…

We studied the kinematics of the Galactic bubble RCW 120 in the [SII]\lambda\lambda$6717,6731\AA lines. We measured a LSR radial velocity ranging from ~-74 to ~-6km/s. We found evidence of expansion only in the northeast region of the…

We report a new 1-pc (30") resolution CS($J=2-1$) line map of the central 30 pc of the Galactic Center (GC), made with the Nobeyama 45m telescope. We revisit our previous study of the extraplanar feature called polar arc (PA), which is a…

By applying filtering techniques to remove straight filaments in the 20-cm VLA radio image of the Galactic Center Arc region, we have shown that numerous concentric radio shells of radii 5 to 20 pc are surrounding the Pistol and Sickle…
