The BIMA Survey of Nearby Galaxies (BIMA SONG). II. The CO Data
Tamara T. Helfer,Michele D. Thornley,Michael W. Regan,Tony Wong,Tony Wong,Kartik Sheth,Kartik Sheth,Stuart N. Vogel,Leo Blitz,Douglas C.-J. Bock +9 more
TL;DR: The BIMA Survey of Nearby Galaxies (BIMA-NGA) as mentioned in this paper provides a systematic imaging study of the 3 mm CO J = 1-0 molecular emission within the centers and disks of 44 nearby spiral galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-Velocity Clouds: Building Blocks of the Local Group
TL;DR: In this paper, a reexamination of the Local Group hypothesis for the high-velocity clouds (HVCs) connects their properties to the hierarchical structure formation scenario and to the gas seen in absorption toward quasars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct evidence for a bar at the Galactic center
Leo Blitz,David N. Spergel +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a triaxial stellar bar was detected in the 2.4 μm observations of the Galactic center by Matsumoto et al. The near side of the bar is in the first Galactic quadrant and the bar was tilted with respect to the Galactic plane.

Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular gas at high galactic latitudes
TL;DR: In this article, the results of a CO survey of high latitude molecular gas shows 57 clouds in 35 complexes at absolute values of b not smaller than 25 deg. The clouds, 70 percent of which are associated with optical emission, are noted to be distributed asymmetrically with respect to b = 0 deg; this is consistent with a displacement of the sun of 30 pc above the midplane.
