Scientific paper

The observations of the par improved spectroscopy and the molecular clouds at the galactic center are reported. The results show: the spatial distributions of C(II) 158 microns and molecular line radiation and of the thermal radio continuum emission in the arched filaments of the radio arc are similar; about 2 x 104 of the solar mass, or 10 percent of the total gas mass in the radio arc, are contained in C(+) regions; the H(+)/C(+) regions are probably located at the surfaces of the dense molecular clouds in the arc. Profiles, fluxes and spatial distributions of the C(II) fine structure and CO rotational lines are reported. It is demonstrated that the data does not fit models in which the neutral interstellar clouds in the arc are ionized by shocks or by magnetohydrodynamic phenomena. Moreover, that the high temperatures and densities derived previously from NH3 and CS observations may not be characteristic of the bulk of the molecular gas.
