A 3-POSITION SPECTRAL-LINE SURVEY OF SAGITTARIUS B2 BETWEEN 218 AND 263 GHZ - I - THE OBSERVATIONAL DATA

We have surveyed the frequency band 218.30-263.55 GHz toward the core positions N and M and the quiescent cloud position NW in the Sgr B2 mo lecular cloud using the Swedish-ESO Submillimetre Telescope. In total 1730, 660, and 110 lines were detected in N, M, and NW, respectively, and 42 different molecular species were identified. The number of unid entified lines are 337, 51, and eight. Toward the N source, spectral l ine emission constitutes 22% of the total detected flux in the observe d band, and complex organic molecules are the main contributors. Towar d M, 14% of the broadband flux is caused by lines, and SO2 is here the dominant source of emission. NW is relatively poor in spectral lines and continuum. In this paper we present the spectra together with tabl es of suggested line identifications.
