Imaging Entire Molecular Clouds in many Lines: From the Milky Way to Galaxies
·
Abstract
Emission lines from molecules at frequencies >70 GHz allow astronomy to explore how star formation depends on molecular cloud conditions, and how cloud conditions vary within galaxies. However, comprehensive observations of the Milky Way are needed to refine lines as probes of gas conditions. Such work requires both large and small telescopes.
