  2. The Galactic Circumnuclear Disk (CND) Rotating velocity: ~110 km/s Density: ~104–6 cm–3 Mass: ~104–5M☉ The entity of the CND is possibly an infalling disk with a diameter of 10 pc (e.g. Oka et al. 2011) HCN 1–0 2 pc radius ring contour: 5 GHz continuum

  3. The Galactic Circumnuclear Disk (CND) Rotating velocity: ~110 km/s Density: ~104–6 cm–3 Mass: ~104–5M☉ The entity of the CND is possibly an infalling disk with a diameter of 10 pc (e.g. Oka et al. 2011) HCN 1–0 2 pc radius ring mostly neglected! contour: 5 GHz continuum red shift (VLSR=+80 – +110 km/s) Sgr A* ~ 10 pc Single-dish obs.

  4. The Galactic Circumnuclear Disk • How is the CND affected by nuclear activities? • How does the CND feed the nucleus? • How was the CND formed? • How is the physical condition? etc…

  5. The Galactic Circumnuclear Disk In order to answer these questions, it is essential to reveal the accurate distribution.

  6. The Galactic Circumnuclear Disk In order to answer these questions, it is essential to reveal the accurate distribution. SINGLE DISH! ASTE 10 m NRO 45 m

  7. The Galactic Circumnuclear Disk In order to answer these questions, it is essential to reveal the accurate distribution. appropriate tracer + SINGLE DISH! ASTE 10 m NRO 45 m

  8. To search appropriate tracers of the CND, We conducted 3 mm band spectral line surveys toward the CND and Sgr A* with the NRO 45 m. (Takekawa et al. 2014) 50 lines were detected • TZ1 receiver + SAM45 frequency : 81 – 116 GHz resolution :15” –19”

  9. We classified the detected lines into three types: • CND-type: mainly trace the CND • GMC-type: mainly trace the GMCs(50 km/sand 20 km/s clouds) • HBD-type: hybrid between the CND- and GMC-types

  10. HCN H13CN We classified the detected lines into three types: • CND-type: mainly trace the CND • GMC-type: mainly trace the GMCs(50 km/sand 20 km/s clouds) • HBD-type: hybrid between the CND- and GMC-types HCO+ H13CO+ CN SiO CH3OH HC3N N2H+ CS C2H c-C3H2 SO

  11. OTF mapping of the CND HCN H13CN We classified the detected lines into three types: • CND-type: mainly trace the CND • GMC-type: mainly trace the GMCs(50 km/sand 20 km/s clouds) • HBD-type: hybrid between the CND- and GMC-types HCO+ H13CO+ CN SiO CH3OH HC3N N2H+ CS C2H c-C3H2 SO

  12. The OTF mapping of the CND with the NRO 45 m • date: 2014/2/5 – 2/12, 3/28 – 3/30 (33 hr) • line: HCN 1–0, HCO+ 1–0, SiO 2–1, CS 2–1, etc… • mapping range: 6’×6’ • angular resolution: ~19” • receiver: TZ1 H/V • spectrometer: SAM45 • bandwidth: 1 GHz(resolution: 244.14 kHz)
