Investigations of MWISP Bubbles: Identification and Analysis of Enclosed Molecular Bubbles by Weight Fields
Yu Jiang, Xuepeng Chen, Ji Yang +7
Molecular bubbles are widely used as tracers of stellar feedback; yet, their identification in spectral-line surveys remains challenging because both cavity morphology and kinemati…
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 Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting Survey: Data Release 1
Ji Yang, Qing-Zeng Yan, Yang Su +31
We present the first data release (DR1) of the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting (MWISP) survey, a mapping in the J=(1-0) transition lines of 12CO, 13CO, and C18O toward the northe…
The Gas-to-Dust Ratio Investigation in the Massive Star-Forming region M17
Qi Zhao, Zhibo Jiang, Chao-Jian Wu +4
M17 is a well-known massive star-forming region, and its Gas-to-Dust Ratio (GDR) may vary significantly compared to the other areas. The mass of gas can be traced by the …
A new view of the Spiral Structure of the Northern Outer Milky Way in Carbon Monoxide
Yan Sun, Ji Yang, Shaobo Zhang +12
Based on 32162 molecular clouds from the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting project, we obtain new face-on molecular gas maps of the northern outer Galaxy. The total molecular gas s…
