The 158 micron (CII) mapping of the galactic center molecular clouds
Abstract
Maps are made with a 55 sec resolution in the region of the curved, thermal filaments and the 20 to 50 km per sec molecular clouds in Sgr A. The emission is spatially well correlated with the radio continuum in the filaments. The large intensity radiation excludes shock as the origin of the ionization.
