Abstract

Observations have been made, using the Epping 4-m radio telescope, of emission from the J = 1-0 transition of CO (115 GHz) towards the Southern Coalsack. The half-power beam-width was 2′.7 arc and the radial velocity resolution was 0.07 km s−1. The line was found to be distributed with varying intensity over an area of 63′ × 36′ arc. The mean radial velocity was −5.8 km s−1 and mean half-intensity linewidth 1.18 km s-1. A typical line temperature was 8 K with maxima exceeding 12 K. The results suggest a stable dark cloud region with no significant evidence of systematic motions.
