Scientific paper

We present a 62-field mosaic of CO 1-0 emission from the grand design spiral galaxy M51 obtained with the BIMA millimeter array. The mosaic, constructed from four tracks in each of the two low-resolution configurations, covers the entire optical disk of M51 and extends to the interacting companion galaxy, NGC 5195. CO emission is distributed in a striking spiral pattern beginning in the nuclear region and overlapping the companion galaxy. We compare the molecular gas emission traced by CO with the neutral atomic, ionized, and stellar distributions.
