A Catalog of 112 Strongly Correlated Dust-CO Clouds in the Galactic Plane
Rui-Zhi Li
Utilizing 3D gas and dust extinction data, we have identified 112 strongly correlated dust-CO clouds, which are well associated with both dust and CO, in regions of low Galactic latitude (|b|<10 deg). For the subset of 112 strongly correlated dust-CO clouds, we have quantified their physical properties using data derived from CO observations and generated a catalog. The catalog includes each MC's Galactic coordinates, distance, boundary extinction, visual extinction, peak CO emission line brightness temperature, peak CO emission line brightness LSR velocity, LSR velocity dispersion, LSR velocity range for the integrated intensity, and total intensity of the CO emission line. We have also detailed the measured HI column densities N_HI, the column density of hydrogen nuclei N_H, and the ratio N_H/A_V in our public database. The database containing these parameters and CO identification maps for these MCs is publicly accessible through this website.
