Abstract
We have observed the dense molecular clouds in a 150′ x40′ (1xb) region around the Galactic center with CS J=1-0 using the 45-m telescope at Nobeyama Radio Observatory. Total mass of the clouds is M(H 2 = (0.6-1.4) ×108M⊙ Almost all clouds comprise of long and curved molecular filaments along the galactic plane, which were probably caused by vertical resonance for a bar potential or MHD bouyancy Several shells are found in Sgr B complex which may be driven by successive 102 supernovae and/or 102 massive stars in 105-6 years.
