Odin observations of H2O in the Galactic Centre*

Abstract

The Odin satellite has been used to detect emission and absorption in the 557-GHz HO  line in the Galactic Centre towards the SgrA* Circumnuclear Disk (CND), and the SgrA +20 km s-1 and +50 km s-1 molecular clouds. Strong broad H2O  emission lines have been detected in all three objects. Narrow H2O absorption lines are present at all three positions and originate along the lines of sight in the 3-kpc Spiral Arm, the -30 km s-1 Spiral Arm and …
