Research Abstract |
Ammonia spectral line observations were conducted to survey dense molecular gas in the Galactic star forming regions. Molecular gas temperature derived from the observations was related to star formation activity, which suggested that active star formation heated the gas. Moreover, molecular gas was hot in a cloud scale in one of the extremely active star forming regions. It was also appeared that molecular gas properties and thus star formation were affected through gas kinematics in a galactic scale.
