CO Structures with Narrow Lines in Nearby Quiescent Regions

Ruilin Xia, Yang Su, Shiyu Zhang +13

Using CO data from Phase I of the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting (MWISP) survey, we present a systematic study of molecular structures with narrow lines. We identify 57 CO struc…

Statistical Properties of Molecular Clouds in the Milky Way: Insights from Three-Isotopologue CO Observations of the MWISP Project

Xin Zhou, Ji Yang, Qing-Zeng Yan +5

We present a comprehensive statistical analysis of molecular cloud (MC) properties using the MWISP survey's 12CO, 13CO, and C18O (J = 1--0) data toward the inner (l = 45--6…

PMO Polaris CO survey. II. Where is the dust?

Xunchuan Liu, Bing Gang Ju, Fujun Du +10

Dust plays critical chemical and dynamical roles in the interstellar medium (ISM), but its specific association with molecular and atomic gas remains difficult to isolate. Combinin…

PMO Polaris CO survey. I. A 100 deg view of the Polaris Flare

Xunchuan Liu, Bing-Gang Ju, Fujun Du +10

Large-area CO surveys are essential for studying molecular cloud dynamics and evolution; however, most have focused on the Galactic plane, leaving high-latitude clouds less explore…

A study of the Physical Properties and Star Formation Activity of a Large Sample of Molecular Clouds: I Distances

Juan Mei, Min Fang, Miaomiao Zhang +8

Accurate distances to molecular clouds are crucial for determining their physical properties, understanding star formation, and tracing Galactic spiral structure. A number of 103,5…

The radial velocity stability for reference sources in the MWISP CO survey

Lixia Yuan, Ji Yang, Min Fang +3

To assess the velocity stability of CO spectral lines in the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting (MWISP) survey, we employ a cross-correlation method to measure velocity shifts acros…

Molecular Gas Distribution toward the Inner and Outer Galaxy Revealed by MWISP -- the Galactic Longitude 45°--60°and 120°--130°

Xin Zhou, Ji Yang, Yan Sun +5

Molecular clouds (MCs) are cradles of star and planet formation, thereby playing an important role in the evolution of galaxies. Based on the unbiased Milky Way Imaging Scroll Pain…

Cloud-to-cloud velocity dispersions across a Local arm segment

Lixia Yuan, Ji Yang

Using a large sample of 9617 molecular clouds (MCs) from the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting survey, we mainly measure one-dimensional cloud-to-cloud velocity dispersions across…

Gas Transfer Between the Inner 3-kpc Disk and the Galactic Central Molecular Zone

Yang Su, Shiyu Zhang, Yan Sun +10

We uncovered a more tilted molecular gas structure with highly negative velocities located near the dust lane. Our observations also show that the approaching gas flows from the ov…

Revealing Gas Inflows towards the Galactic Central Molecular Zone

Yang Su, Shiyu Zhang, Yan Sun +7

We study the gas inflows towards the Galactic Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) based on the gas morphological and kinematic features from the MWISP in the region of l=1.2 deg--19.0 deg…

Bimodal orientation distribution and head-tail asymmetry of a sample of filamentary molecular clouds

Wen Ge, Fujun Du, Lixia Yuan

The morphology of molecular clouds is crucial for understanding their origin and evolution. In this work, we investigate the morphology of the filamentary molecular clouds (filamen…
