Molecular clouds and star formation in the Milky Way

Using molecular line observations, this thesis studied the molecular clouds of three typical regions of the Milky Way, which are the Galactic centre, high Galactic latitudes, and the Galactic plane. The properties of molecular clouds show remarkable variations among these three regions, which expl...

description Using molecular line observations, this thesis studied the molecular clouds of three typical regions of the Milky Way, which are the Galactic centre, high Galactic latitudes, and the Galactic plane. The properties of molecular clouds show remarkable variations among these three regions, which explains why the star formation activities are so different.
