We present high-resolution (0.94" $\approx$ 55 pc) ALMA CO(2-1) and 13CO(2-1) observations of the highly inclined (i~87.5 deg) galaxy NGC 4565 covering out to galactocentric radius Rgal > $\pm$ 17 kpc. The combination of sensitivity and…

We report the arcsecond resolution SMA observations of the $^{12}$CO (2-1) transition in the massive cluster forming region G10.6-0.4. In these observations, the high velocity $^{12}$CO emission is resolved into individual outflow systems,…
