We present compelling observational evidence supporting G178.28-00.61 as an early-stage candidate for Cloud-Cloud Collision (CCC), with indications of the formation of an S-shaped filament, evenly-separated dense cores, and young star…

We studied the cloud-cloud collision candidate G323.18+0.15 based on signatures of induced filaments, clumps, and star formation. We used archival molecular spectrum line data from the SEDIGISM $^{13}$CO($J$\,=\,2--1) survey, from the Mopra…

We report on a possible cloud-cloud collision in the DR 21 region, which we found through molecular observations with the Nobeyama 45-m telescope. We mapped an area of 8'x12' around the region with twenty molecular lines including the…

The formation of super star clusters (SSCs) in galaxies remains a fundamental yet unresolved problem. Among the proposed mechanisms, cloud-cloud collisions (CCCs) have been suggested as a potential trigger, although observational validation…

We performed a search of cloud-cloud collision (CCC) sites in the Sagittarius A molecular cloud (SgrAMC) based on the survey observations using the Nobeyama 45-m telescope in the C$^{32}$S $J=1-0$ and SiO $v=0~J=2-1$ emission lines. We…

The G31.41+0.31 (G31) hot molecular core (HMC) is a high-mass protocluster showing accelerated infall and rotational spin-up that is well studied at high-angular resolution. To complement the accurate view of the small scale in G31, we have…

We present the results of analyses of the 12CO (J=1-0), 13CO (J=1-0), and 12CO (J=2-1) emission data toward Gum 31. Three molecular clouds separated in velocity were detected at -25, -20, and -10 km/s . The velocity structure of the…

Cloud-cloud collision (CCC) has been proposed as a mechanism for triggering massive star formation. Observations in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies have revealed the presence of CCCs with collision velocity ($v_{\rm col}$) of 1-40 km/s,…
