Determining the nature of Outer Galaxy star formation<\/strong><\/p>\n

This project has been awarded 416 hours to extend and complement the CHIMPS, CHIMPS2 and COHRS surveys by completing 12<\/sup>CO J=3-2 observations in the longitude range \u2113<\/em> = 198\u00b0-236\u00b0. This data set will produce the most sensitive, highest-resolution molecular cloud survey of the Outer Galaxy, which will be an invaluable data set for the JCMT and Galactic astronomy.<\/p>\n

These data will also allow the following science goals to be achieved:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Determine the nature of star formation in the Outer Galaxy by producing a new, large sample of molecular clouds which are at large Galactocentric distances, but low heliocentric distances.<\/li>\n
  2. Analyse the power spectra of turbulence within molecular clouds, the ratio of solenoidal to compressive turbulence and the relation of these to the large variations in star-formation efficiency from cloud to cloud and as a function of Galactocentric radius.<\/li>\n
  3. Extend the study of the relationship between Galactic environment and molecular cloud properties into the Outer Galaxy where the molecular cloud conditions, such as metalilicity, are much different.<\/li>\n
  4. Determine Galactic structure as traced by molecular gas and star formation in the Outer Galaxy. Galactic structure is not well defined in this region of the Galaxy, and the high-resolution dense molecular gas observed at the JCMT has previously shown to be very efficient at tracing Galactic structure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
