Scientific paper

A search for the ammonia molecule was conducted and the molecule was discovered in the direction of SGR A and subsequently also identified in a number of interstellar clouds by its inversion spectra. NH3 is widely distributed in interstellar space, and provides a good probe of the kinematics and structure of clouds. Galactic NH3 sources fall into three types, differing most obviously in velocity widths: galactic center sources, sources associated with HII regions, and dark dust clouds.
