Planck Galactic Cold Clumps in Two Regions: the First Quadrant and the Anti-Center Direction Region

Abstract

Sixty five Planck Galactic cold clumps (PGCCs) from the first quadrant (IQuad) and thirty nine of PGCCs from the Anti-Center direction region (ACent) were observed in ${}^{12}$CO, ${}^{13}$CO and C${}^{18}$O J=1-0 lines using the PMO 13.7-m telescope. All the targets were detected with all the three lines, except for 12 IQuad and 8 ACent PGCCs without C${}^{18}$O detection. Seventy six and 49 velocity components were obtained in IQuad and ACent respectively. One-hundred and forty-six cores were extracted from 76 IQuad clumps and 100 cores from 49 ACent clumps. The average T${}_{\mathrm{ex}}$ of IQuad cores and ACent cores are 12.4 K and 12.1 K, respectively. The average line width of ${}^{13}$CO of IQuad cores and ACent cores are 1.55 km s${}^{-1}$ and 1.77 km s${}^{-1}$, respectively. Among the detected cores, 24 in IQuad and 13 in ACent have asymmetric line profiles. The small blue excesses, $\sim$0.03 in IQuad and 0.01 in ACent, indicate that the star formation is not active in these PGCC cores. Power-law fittings of core mass function to the high mass end give indexes of -0.57 in IQuad and -1.02 in ACent which are flatter than the slope of initial mass function given by \citeauthor{1955ApJ...121..161S}. The large turnover masses with value of 28 M${}_{\odot }$ for IQuad cores and 77 M${}_{\odot }$ for ACent cores suggest low star formation efficiencies in PGCCs. The correlation between virial mass and gas mass indicates that most of PGCC cores in both regions are not likely pressure-confined.
