Abstract:
We have observed three molecular clumps
in the Galactic center region
in the CS J=2-1 line with the Nobeyama Millimeter Array.
We have determined the mass spectrum and other statistical relations
for the Galactic center cloud cores.
The derived mass spectrum
is somewhat steeper than for galactic cloud cores
based on molecular line observations.
In addition, the spectrum
is steeper than that of the large scale Galactic center clumps.
