Kinematics of Ultra-High-Velocity Gas in the Expanding Molecular Shell   adjacent to the W44 Supernova Remnant
  We mapped the ultra-high-velocity feature (the "Bullet") detected in the expanding molecular shell associated with the W44 supernova remnant using the Nobeyama Radio Observatory 45-m telescope and the ASTE 10-m telescope. The Bullet clearly appears in the CO ${\it J}$=1-0, CO ${\it J}$=3-2, CO ${\it J}$=4-3, and HCO$^+$ ${\it J}$=1-0 maps with a compact appearance ($0.5\times 0.8$ pc$^2$) and an extremely broad velocity width ($\Delta V\!\simeq\!100 \ \rm km \, s ^{-1}$). The line intensities indicate that the Bullet has a higher density and temperature than those in the expanding molecular shell. The kinetic energy of the Bullet amounts to $10^{48.0} \ {\rm erg}$ which is approximately 1.5 orders of magnitude greater than the kinetic energy shared to the small solid angle of it. Two possible formation scenarios with an inactive isolated black hole (BH) are presented.
