AbstractNew CO J=1–0 observations with NANTEN and NANTEN2 reveal that extensive collisions between two molecular clouds at relative velocity of 15 km s−1 triggered the O star formation in the Galactic mini-starbursts NGC 6357 and NGC 6334. Correlated/anti-correlated gas distributions and intermediate velocity features between the two clouds lend support for the cloud-cloud collision scenario. The timescale of the collision and high-mass star formation is as short as less than 0.5 Myrs, suggesting rapid O star formation.
