Abstract
We present observations of the (CO)-C-12(J=1-0) Line at 2.6 mm of 65 g alaxies located in the Coma supercluster region: 33 actually belong to the Coma supercluster while 32 are either foreground or background ob jects. These data have been obtained using the NRAO 12 m telescope at Kitt Peak (United States), and for four galaxies, using the IRAM 30 m telescope at Pico Veleta (Spain). Out of these 65 galaxies, 54 had nev er been observed in the CO(1-0) line; 49 have been detected by us, of which 37 are new detections. We give molecular gas masses deduced from the CO Line integrated intensities, and upper limits for the 16 undet ected objects, computed with a Galactic conversion factor N(H-2)=2.3 1 0(20) I(CO) and H-0=75 km/s/Mpc.*
