Abstract
In the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) a large number of cool HI clouds have been detected with temperatures much lower than those found for atomic clouds in the Milky Way (Dickey et al. 1994; Mebold et al. 1997; Marx-Zimmer et al. 1998). Apparently, the population of cool HI clouds reaches kinetic gas temperatures down to as low as 10 or 20 K. These clouds may play an important role in the formation of stars in the LMC. We studied the association between the cool atomic gas and molecular gas in the LMC by 12CO(1–0) line observations in directions of cool HI clouds using the 15-m Swedish-ESO Submillimetre Telescope (SEST).
