Ammonia mapping of the southern molecular cloud NGC 6334.
Abstract
The ammonia emission in the (J,K = 1,1) and (J,K = 2,2) transitions toward NGC 6334 has been mapped using the Parkes 64-m antenna. Distributions of observed and derived quantities are obtained with a resolution of about 1 pc. The results suggest that velocity anomalies are present near the two OH masers NGC 6334A and B, and that the source of ammonia emission located near the northernmost H2O maser is one of most intense sources of NH3 emission in the Galaxy.
