Discovery of the Tadpole Molecular Cloud near the Galactic Nucleus
In this paper, we report the discovery of an isolated, peculiar compact cloud with a steep velocity gradient at 2.′6 northwest of Sgr A*. This “Tadpole” molecular cloud is unique owing to its characteristic head-tail structure in the position–velocity space. By tracing the CO J = 3–2 intensity peak...
