Molecular
Line Studies of Extremely-Cold Young Stellar Objects
in
the Galaxy (XCOLD97)
Motivations
- to obtain a comprehensive
understanding on the distribution of embedded young stellar objects over the
Galactic scale
- zto achieve a statistically
significant picture of star forming activities of present Galaxy
- to reveal the relations between
gas distribution and star formation, which constrain large-scale law
of star formation
Major Activities
- zLarge-scale molecular line
survey in CO and its isotopes along the Galactic plane.
- zMm, optical & NIR studies
of nearby star forming regions
- zMassive star formation and
formation of star clusters (radio and NIR)
- zStatistics on gas and
population of YSOs
Results
CO
spectra of 1331 IRAS sources (zipped ps files)
- Galactic Distribtion of 1331 CO Sources
Galactic Distribution of 1331 CO emitting Sources
