The NGC 2071 molecular cloud has been studied with a broad array of techniques, including a large scale study of CS emission, high resolution scans in the far-infrared, N H3 studies with the VLA, and near-infrarred imaging. The far-infrared emission constrains the density distribution to fall off approximately as r−1. The NH3 data strongly supports the presence of a disk oriented perpendicular to the molecular outflow, while the CS emission indicates the presence of dense gas in the region. The results will be combined into a coherent picture of this region of current star formation and molecular outflow.

A variety of observations of molecular clouds outside the solar circle (mostly around R = 14 kpc) are reported. Maps of CO, 13CO (J = 1 → 0) and CO (J = 2 → 1) emission are discussed. Cloud sizes and masses range up to the GMC class. However, envelope kinetic temperatures are lower than those in GMCs in the molecular ring. Continuum observations, using the VLA at 6 cm and 20 cm, and far infrared observations, taken on the Kuiper Airborne Observatory, suggest the presence of newly formed late O and early B stars.

We report far-infrared observations of [0 I], [C II] and [O III] fine structure emission lines toward the nuclei of M82 and 7 other galaxies with a high rate of star formation. The far-infrared line emission is bright, contains about 0.5% of the bolometric luminosity in the central 60″, and is spatially concentrated toward the nuclei. In these galaxies between 10 and 30% of the interstellar gas near the nuclei is contained in a warm, atomic component. This atomic gas is probably located at the UV photodissociated surfaces of molecular clouds. The neutral gas in M82 has a temperature of ∼ 200 K, hydrogen density of ∼ 3 × 104 cm−3 and is very clumpy, indicating that the interstellar medium in this star burst galaxy is very different from that in the disk of our own galaxy. We discuss the implications of the infrared observations for the interpretation of mm molecular lines and for star formation at the nuclei of star burst galaxies.
