Description:
A large survey of galaxies in the J=1-0 CO line, performed during
1985-1988 using the 15-m SEST and the 20-m millimetre wave telescope
of Onsala Space Observatory, is presented. The HPBW of the telescopes
are 44" and 33" at 115GHz, respectively. The central positions of 168
galaxies were observed and 101 of these were detected in the CO line.
More than 20% of these are new detections. Maps of some of the
galaxies are also presented.
