We investigate how the spectral properties of atomic (HI) and molecular (H$_2$) gas, traced by CO(2-1), are related in M33 on $80$ pc scales. We find the HI and CO(2-1) velocity at peak intensity to be highly correlated, consistent with…

Previous literature suggests that the densest structures in the interstellar medium form through colliding flows, but patent evidence of this process is still missing. Recent literature proposes using SiO line emission to trace low-velocity…

A number of very small isolated HII regions have been discovered at projected distances up to 30 kpc from their nearest galaxy. These HII regions appear as tiny emission line objects in narrow band images obtained by the NOAO Survey for…

We present new high-resolution HI observations of the disk of the collisional infrared luminous (L$_{\rm IR}=2.2\times10^{11}$ L$_{\sun}$) galaxy NGC 1144, which reveal an apparent large-scale azimuthal and kinematic segregation of neutral…

Recent observations have discovered a giant HI bridge that appears to connect between the outer halo regions of M31 and M33. We propose that this HI bridge can be formed as a result of the past interaction between M31 and M33 based on test…

We analyze the diffuse ionized gas (DIG) in the first Galactic quadrant from l=18deg to 40deg using radio recombination line (RRL) data from the Green Bank Telescope. These data allow us to distinguish DIG emission from HII region emission…

PKS0349-27 is a classical FRII radio galaxy with an AGN host which has a spectacular, spiral-like structure in its extended emission line gas (EELG). We have measured the velocity field in this gas and find that it splits into 2 cloud…

We have discovered two molecular features at radial velocities of -35 km/s and 0 km/s toward the infrared Double Helix Nebula (DHN) in the Galactic center with NANTEN2. The two features show good spatial correspondence with the DHN. We have…

The neutral hydrogen structure of high-velocity cloud A0 (at about -180 km/s) has been mapped with a 9.1 arcmin resolution. Gaussian decomposition of the profiles is used to separately map families of components defined by similarities in…

We have carried out a new kinematical analysis of the molecular gas in the Sh2-233 region by using the CO $J$ = 2-1 data taken at $\sim$0.5 pc resolution. The molecular gas consists of a filamentary cloud of 5-pc length with 1.5-pc width…

We report on a study of the high-mass star formation in the the HII region W28A2 by investigating the molecular clouds extended over ~5-10 pc from the exciting stars using the 12CO and 13CO (J=1-0) and 12CO (J=2-1) data taken by the NANTEN2…

To unravel the star formation process, we present a multi-scale and multi-wavelength study of the filamentary infrared dark cloud (IRDC) G333.73+0.37, which hosts previously known two HII regions located at its center. Each HII region is…

We report results of the CO(J=3-2) and HCO+(J=4-3) observations of the W40 HII region with the ASTE 10 m telescope (HPBW~22 arcsec) to search for molecular outflows and dense clumps.We found that the velocity field in the region is highly…

We made CO ($J$ = 1--0, 2--1, and 3--2) observations toward an H{\sc ii} region RCW~32 in the Vela Molecular Ridge. The CO gas distribution associated with the H{\sc ii} region was revealed for the first time at a high resolution of 22…

We present maps in several molecular emission lines of a 1 square-degree region covering the W40 and Serpens South molecular clouds belonging to the Aquila Rift complex. The observations were made with the 45 m telescope at the Nobeyama…

We have analyzed new CO($J$ = 1-0) data in the region of a reflection nebula NGC 2023 with a particular focus on the detailed kinematical properties of the molecular gas. The results show that there are two velocity components which…

Numerical simulations have explored the possibility to form molecular clouds through either a quasi-static, self-gravitating mechanism or the collision of gas streams or lower-density clouds. They also quantitatively predict the…

The Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) millimeter array was used to make observations of the CS(2-1) line (at 97.981 GHz) arising from the G0.07+0.04 region of the ``-30 km/s'' molecular cloud near the Galactic center with a spatial…

We have mapped two molecular clouds at (l, b) = (3.2 degrees, + 0.3 degrees) and (l, b) = (5.4 degrees, -0.5 degrees) in 21-cm line and continuum emission. These clouds show unusually large velocity dispersions of more than 100 km/s (FWHM)…
