Molecular Line Observations • ALMA • Higher frequency: mainly >85 GHz • Basic, simple light molecules • Higher temperature regions (GMCs, HCs, YSOs, UCHIIs) • SKA • Lower frequency: < 20 GHz • Complex, large and heavy molecules • Lower temperature region (dark clouds, prestellarcores, YSOs)
Target Molecules with SKA Large molecules in cold clouds Carbon-chains & their isomers / PAHs ? High or mid band is necessary. Low line density per frequency/ less confusion OH, CH, (HI) Transition from atomic clouds to molecular clouds Recombination Lines H, He, C, S Depletion Prebiotic molecules Advantage over ALMA? Maybe yes. But high band is essential.
Carbon-chain Molecules • Largest species HC11N and next candidates HC13N • Rich in cold dark cloud cores • SKA Mid/High-band is better than ALMA band-1 Red: HC11NGreen: HC13N
Organic Molecules • Glycine • From cold to hot cores, comets, planets • From SKA High-band to ALMA

Summary • SKA should be optimized for nonthermal emission and strong thermal emission including HI and OH. ( Thermal emission: I = 2kν2T/c2) • DI, CH, H2CO, CH3OH(maser) are good targets. • Nevertheless, observations of molecules are still interesting, because of its high sensitivity.
