A CO survey of galaxies with the SEST and the 20-m Onsala telescope.

A large survey of galaxies in the J=1-0 CO line, performed during 1985-1988 using the 15-m SEST and the 20-m millimetre wave telescope of Onsala Space Observatory, is presented. The HPBW of the telescopes are 44" and 33" at 115GHz, respectively. The central positions of 168 galaxies were observed and 101 of these were detected in the CO line. More than 20% of these are new detections. Maps of some of the galaxies are also presented.
