(a) Angle, θ, between the major axis of the GMC and the tangent of the circle with a radius of the distance, d_cen, from the kinematic center derived from the H I by Kim et al. (1998). (b) Distribution of θ. The gray, pink, and blue show the number of the GMCs with the ratio of the major and minor axes to be >2.0, 1.5–2.0, and <1.5, respectively. (c) The angle, θ, with respect to the distance of the GMCs from the center derived from the H I kinematics by Kim et al. (1998).The black ellipses, pink ellipses, and blue circles show the GMCs with the ratio of the major and minor axes to be >2.0, 1.5–2.0, and <1.5, respectively.
