We present high spatial resolution $^{12}$CO ($J=1-0$) images taken by the Nobeyama 45m telescope toward a $48' \times 48'$ area including the L1641-N cluster. The effective spatial resolution of the maps is $21"$, corresponding to 0.04 pc…

We present results of the classification of cloud structures toward the Orion A Giant Molecular Cloud based on wide-field $^{12}$CO ($J$ = 1--0), $^{13}$CO ($J$ = 1-0), and C$^{18}$O ($J$ = 1-0) observations using the Nobeyama 45 m radio…

We report the detection of extremely broad emission toward two molecular clumps in the Galactic central molecular zone. We have mapped the Sagittarius C complex ($-0^\circ.61 < l < -0^\circ.27$, $-0^\circ.29 < b < 0^\circ.04$) in the HCN…
