Description
Maps in the CO (J = 2-1) line of the southern H II region complexes Carina Nebula and G333.6-0.2/RCW 106 are presented and discussed. Results for the Carina Nebula indicate a complicated spatial structure; an extended molecular cloud appears to be wrapped partly around the brightest parts of the H II region (Car I and Car II). The situation in Carina is consistent with a model for sequential star formation proposed by Elmergreen and Lada (1977). At the positions of the other sources observed, a giant molecular complex, at least 75 pc long and 20 pc wide, is found. The complex consists of at least four large clouds and coincides accurately with a distinct minimum in the H I distribution.

However, detections are limited to strongly active regions because signal-to-noise ratio of the data is low. Recently, we developed the FarNet and FarNet-II neural networks to improve the identification of active

    Inferring the coupling of different atmospheric layers requires observing spectral lines sensitive to the atmospheric parameters, particularly the magnetic field vector, at various heights. The best way to tackle this goal is to perform multi-line observations simultaneously. For instance, the new version of the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
