The Sgr B2 region was mapped at 43 GHz (λ = 6.9 mm) with the 45m radio telescope of Nobeyama Radio Observatory. The observing parameters were: a) half power beamwidth 38″, b) pointing accuracy better than 10″, c) central frequency 43.0 GHz, d) bandwidth 500 MHz, and e) system noise temperature 400 K; and the observational aspects were: a) mapping with one polarization, b) liquid-nitrogen cooled load switching and c) reduction by NOD-2 programme. The obtained map is shown in Figure 1. Sgr B2 is resolved into several components which correspond to those by Martin and Downes (1972) and Downes et al. (1978). But the component at RA = 17h44m11.8s Dec. = −28°23′55″ at 1950 is not seen in Martin and Downes (1972) nor in the 5 GHz map of Downes et al. (1978), although the feature is seen in the 10.7 GHz map of Downes et al. (1978). The components derived from the map in Figure 1 by a morphological estimate are listed in Table 1. The total flux density of the region is 146J±30 Jy. The intensity calibration was made by observing NGC 7027.
