Mapping observations of complex organic molecules around Sagittarius B2 with the ARO 12 m telescope

We have performed high-sensitivity mapping observations of several complex organic molecules around Sagittarius B2 with the ARO 12 m telescope at 3 mm wavelength. Based on their spatial distribution, molecules can be classified as either ‘extended’, those detected not only in Sgr B2(N) and Sgr B2(M), or ‘compact’, those only detected toward or near Sgr B2(N) and Sgr B2(M). The ‘extended’ molecules...
