Hydrogen-line observations of the galactic centre region

Extract
A detailed study of the galactic centre region is being made with the 210-foot telescope at Parkes and a 48-channel hydrogen-line receiver. Line profiles have been recorded on a 6-min-of-arc grid over a central area 2° square, and also along the galactic equator and a number of other longitude lines. These observations, which have been partially reduced, show that the structure and motions of the gas are very complex in the neighbourhood of the centre.
