LABOCA observations of giant molecular clouds in the southwest region of the Small Magellanic Cloud

Context. The amount of molecular gas is a key to understanding the future star formation in a galaxy. Because H2 is difficult to observe directly in dense and cold clouds, tracers such as the CO molecule are used. However, at low metallicities especially,
