摘要：

我们给出了在$^{12}$ CO中的ALMA观测结果（$J=2-1$），$^{13}$ CO（$J=2-1$），和C $^{18}$ O（$J=2-1$）线和1.3毫米连续发射到一个巨大的（$\sim 10^6 M_{\odot}$）与最近的旋涡星系M33中的巨大H II区NGC 604有关的巨大分子云，角分辨率为0“.44 $\times$ 0”.27（1.8件$\times$和1.1件）。$^{12}$ CO和$^{13}$ CO图像显示了由许多长度为5 - 20 pc的细丝和壳组成的高度复杂的分子结构。我们发现了三个1.3毫米的连续源，在两个壳的边缘，也在几个灯丝的交叉点密集的团块。我们检查了速度结构的$^{12}$ CO（$J=2-1$）发射的壳和细丝含有致密的团块，并得出结论，H II区的扩张不能解释形成这样的致密的核心。或者，我们建议，云-云碰撞引起的外部H I气流和银河系旋转压缩的分子材料成致密的细丝/壳正在进行的高质量恒星形成网站。我们建议，多个气体会聚/碰撞事件的速度为几十公里的$^{-1}$是必要的建立NGC 604，最重要的集群形成复杂的本星系群。

英文摘要：

We present the results of ALMA observations in $^{12}$CO($J=2-1$), $^{13}$CO($J=2-1$), and C$^{18}$O($J=2-1$) lines and 1.3 mm continuum emission toward a massive ($\sim 10^6 M_{\odot}$) giant molecular cloud associated with the giant H II region NGC 604 in one of the nearest spiral galaxy M33 at an angular resolution of 0''.44 $\times$ 0''.27 (1.8 pc $\times$ 1.1 pc). The $^{12}$CO and $^{13}$CO images show highly complicated molecular structures composed of a lot of filaments and shells whose lengths are 5 -- 20 pc. We found three 1.3 mm continuum sources as dense clumps at edges of two shells and also at an intersection of several filaments. We examined the velocity structures of $^{12}$CO($J=2-1$) emission in the shells and filaments containing dense clumps, and concluded that expansion of the H II regions cannot explain the formation of such dense cores. Alternatively, we suggest that cloud--cloud collisions induced by an external H I gas flow and the galactic rotation compressed the molecular material into dense filaments/shells as ongoing high-mass star formation sites. We propose that multiple gas converging/colliding events with a velocity of a few tens km s$^{-1}$ are necessary to build up NGC 604, the most significant cluster-forming complex in the Local Group of galaxies.
