The Galactic Circumnuclear Disk How is the CND affected by nuclear activities? How does the CND feed the nucleus? How was the CND formed? How is the physical condition? etc…
The Galactic Circumnuclear Disk In order to answer these questions, it is essential to reveal the accurate distribution.

To search appropriate tracers of the CND, We conducted 3 mm band spectral line surveys toward the CND and Sgr A* with the NRO 45 m. (Takekawa et al. 2014) 50 lines were detected TZ1 receiver + SAM45 frequency : 81 – 116 GHz resolution : 15” –19”
We classified the detected lines into three types: CND-type: mainly trace the CND GMC-type: mainly trace the GMCs (50 km/s and 20 km/s clouds) HBD-type: hybrid between the CND- and GMC-types
