Abstract
We report a search for the NH3 (J,K)=(1,1) inversion line in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using the Parkes 64-m telescope. Candidate pos itions were chosen with the help of recent H I data from the Australia Telescope Compact Array and published (CO)-C-12 data from the Swedish -ESO Submillimetre Telescope. No detections of NH3 in emission were fo und at the positions surveyed. Upper limits are approximately 25 to 74 mK.
