Abstract

We report a search for the ammonia (J, K) = (1,1) inversion line in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using the Parkes 64-m telescope. Candidate positions were chosen with the help of recent HI data from the Australia Telescope Compact Array and published ^12^CO data from the Swedish-ESO Submillimetre Telescope. No detections of ammonia in emission were found at the positions surveyed. Upper limits are approximately 25 to 74 mK.
