4.13. A high velocity molecular cloud near the center of the Galaxy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Extract
Molecular clouds in the Galactic center region are characterised by their large velocity widths and physical conditions which differ from clouds in the Galactic disk (e.g., Morris 1996). These clouds may not be gravitationally bound, but in equilibrium with the high external pressure in the Galactic bulge (Spergel & Blitz 1992, Oka et al. 1997a).
