Image Details
Caption: Fig. 1.
Left: Integrated intensity image of the 13CO ﹩J=1\rightarrow 0﹩ emission from the Galactic Ring Survey (﹩10< I< 100﹩ K km s−1) integrated from ﹩V_{\mathrm{LSR}\,}=-5﹩ to +80 km s−1. Right: MSX Band A (~8 μm) (﹩1.9\times 10^{-6}< I< 4.5\times 10^{-5}﹩ W m−2 sr−1). Observed cores are marked with plus signs and labeled on the MSX image. The gray‐scale stretches are logarithmic, where darker is more intense; with these scales, point sources were allowed to saturate in order to highlight the extended emission.
