Scientific paper

The J = 1-0 emission of carbon monoxide has been mapped over the optical
disks of the three nearly face-on galaxies M 51, NGC 6946 and IC 342.
The inferred H2 distributions are flat disks plus central peaks. The
disks are confined to the optical disks, not extended like HI. They show
much structure, but no obvious spiral patterns.
