@article{Dame2001TheMW, title={The Milky Way in Molecular Clouds: A New Complete CO Survey}, author={T. Dame and D. Hartmann and P. Thaddeus}, journal={The Astrophysical Journal}, year={2001}, volume={547}, pages={792-813} }
New large-scale CO surveys of the first and second Galactic quadrants and the nearby molecular cloud complexes in Orion and Taurus, obtained with the CfA 1.2 m telescope, have been combined with 31 other surveys obtained over the past two decades with that instrument and a similar telescope on Cerro Tololo in Chile, to produce a new composite CO survey of the entire Milky Way. The survey consists of 488,000 spectra that Nyquist or beamwidth ( °) sample the entire Galactic plane over a strip 4… CONTINUE READING
