We investigate the molecular gas content and the excitation and fragmentation properties in the central region of the spiral galaxy Messier 81 in both the ^{12}CO(1-0) and ^{12}CO(2-1) transitions. We have recently observed the two…

We present 12CO J=1-0 observations from the Caltech Millimeter Array of a field in the nearby spiral galaxy M81. We detect emission from three features that are the size of large giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in the Milky Way Galaxy and…

We report about high spatial resolution observations made with the IRAM interferometer of the CO emission from a 1.1x1.1 kpc plane-of-sky field on a spiral arm of Messier 81. With a beam of 5''(90 pc), we identify 6 giant molecular cloud…

We present single-dish (sub)millimeter observations of gas and dust in the Galactic high-mass star-forming region G19.61-0.23, with the aim of studying the large-scale properties and physical conditions of the molecular gas across the…

12CO 1-0,2-1,4-3,7-6, and 13CO 1-0, 2-1, and 3-2 line was mapped with angular resolutions of 13" - 22" toward the nuclear region of starburst galaxy M82. The difference of lobe spacings in submillimeter (~15") and millimeter (~26") lines…

In this review, I discuss recent detailed studies of individual molecular clouds in M33 in higher rotational transitions of CO, 13CO, and the fine structure line of atomic carbon. These data reveal that the temperature and density of the…

We present maps and a catalogue containing the J=1-0 12CO parameters of 29 individual molecular clouds in the second-brightest LMC star formation complex, N11. In the southwestern part of N11, molecular clouds occur in a ring or shell…

We present observations of the nearby tidal dwarf galaxy Holmberg IX in M81 galaxy group in narrow band [SII] and H$\alpha$ filters, carried out in March and November 2008 with the 2m RCC telescope at NAO Rozhen, Bulgaria. Our search for…

We present radio and optical observations of Holmberg I (HoI), a member of the M81 group of galaxies (distance 3.6Mpc). HoI is a low-mass, low surface- brightness dwarf galaxy. High-resolution multi-array VLA HI observations reveal a…

We present here the first results from a high-resolution survey of the 12CO(J=1-0) emission across the northern part of the poorly-enriched Small Magellanic Cloud, made with the ATNF Mopra telescope. Three molecular complexes detected in…

Context At least a fraction of the atomic hydrogen in spiral galaxies is suspected to be the result of molecular hydrogen which has been dissociated by radiation from massive stars. Aims In this paper, we extend our earlier set of data from…

Two selected regions in the molecular gas spiral arms in M51 were mapped with the Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) mm-interferometer in the 12CO(2-1), 13CO(1-0), C18O(1-0), HCN(1-0) and HCO+(1-0) emission lines. The CO data have been…

We have started a campaign to identify massive star clusters inside bright molecular bubbles towards the Galactic Center. The CN15/16/17 molecular complex is the first example of our study. The region is characterized by the presence of two…

At the interface of HII regions and molecular gas peculiar structures appear, some of them with pillar-like shapes. Understanding their origin is important for characterizing triggered star formation and the impact of massive stars on the…

We present the results of a search for molecular gas emission via the CO line in the far outer disk of the nearby spiral, NGC 6946. The positions targeted were chosen to lie on or near previously-identified outer disk HII regions. Molecular…

The CO-dark molecular gas (DMG), which refers to the molecular gas not traced by CO emission, is crucial for the evolution of the interstellar medium (ISM). While the gas properties of DMG have been widely explored in the Solar…

Using the IRAM 30m radio telescope we have mapped the tidal arm feature south-east of NGC 3077 where we recently detected molecular gas in the CO (1-0) and (2-1) transitions. We find that the molecular gas is much more extended than…

We know little about the outermost portions of galaxies because there is little light coming from them. We do know that in many cases atomic hydrogen (HI) extends well beyond the optical radius \cite{Casertano91}. In the centers of…

We present high resolution CO J=1-0 observations of the molecular gas in the Hickson Compact Group Stephan's Quintet (HCG92). Our observations consist of multiple pointing and mosaics covering all the regions where CO and star formation has…

We present a pilot study of ~ 3" resolution observations of low CO transitions with the Submillimeter Array in three nearby Seyfert galaxies, which are part of the low-luminosity quasi-stellar object (LLQSOs) sample consisting of 99 nearby…
