| Abstract: |
Fukui et al. (2006) discovered two molecular loops in the Galactic center that are likely created by magnetic flotation due to the Parker instability. The magnetic flotation model offers another interpretation of the origin of the high temperature and large velocity dispersion of molecular gas in the Galactic center. Here, we present details of the two loops based on NANTEN CO(J=1–0) data sets. |
