Description
A broad range of type I post-main-sequence nebulae have been mapped and studied spectroscopically in the J = 1 - 0, J = 2 - 1, and J = 3 - 2 transitions of CO using the 12-m antenna at Kitt Peak and the 45-m facility at the Nobeyama Radio Observatory. CO J = 2 - 1 emission associated with NGC 3132 and NGC 6445 is detected; the location of CO J = 1 - 0 emission in the nucleus of NGC 6302 is determined, and CO J = 3 - 2 spectroscopy is obtained for the first time for a substantial cross section of type I sources. The nature of the emission is assessed, and its correlation with H2S(1) and optical shock indicators and the underlying processes responsible for the observed trends are discussed.

    Large angular scale surveys in the absence of atmosphere are essential for measuring the primordial B-mode power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). Since this proposed measurement is about three to four orders of magnitude fainter than the temperature anisotropies of the CMB, in-flight calibration of the instruments and active
