We present a 12CO 2-1 map of M51 (Schuster et al. 2006) at 11″ resolution observed with HERA at the IRAM-30m telescope. The map covers the companion galaxy NGC5195 as well as the south-western arm out to 12 kpc. Using the IRAM-30m data and the clump finding procedure GAUSSCLUMPS (Stutzki et al. 1990), we obtain the masses, positions, peak temperatures and more intrinsic properties as i.e. deconvolved sizes of Giant Molecular Associations (GMAs) in M51 (Hitschfeld et al. 2007, in prep.).
