Scientific paper
We present the main results of our survey of CO (J = 1-0) and (2-1) emission in M 51, made with the IRAM 30 m telescope. Of all tracers of the inner spiral structure, CO, i.e. presumably the molecular gas, appears as the tracer with the smoothest in-arm distribution, the highest arm-interarm contrast and the most visible streaming motions. Although observed about everywhere, CO, in the interarm region, is mostly concentrated along 4 radial lanes, or bridges, connecting the two main spiral arms.
