High-velocity dispersion compact clouds in the CMZ

The procedure was applied to the CO J=3-2 line data, obtained using the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, to identify 184 high-velocity dispersion compact clouds (HVDCCs), which are a category of peculiar molecular clouds found in the central molecular zone of our Galaxy.

A list of HVDCCs in the area -1.4{deg}<=l<=+2.0{deg}, -0.25{deg}<=b<=+0.25{deg} was presented with their physical parameters, CO J=3-2/J=1-0 intensity ratios, and morphological classifications. Consequently, the list provides several intriguing sources that may have been driven by encounters with pointlike massive objects, local energetic events, or cloud-to-cloud collisions.
