A UNIFORM CATALOG OF MOLECULAR CLOUDS IN THE MILKY WAY

Authors: Thomas S. Rice, Alyssa A. Goodman, Edwin A. Bergin, Christopher Beaumont, and T. M. Dame

2016 The Astrophysical Journal 822 52.

Provider: AAS Journals

Caption: Figure 19.

Size-linewidth relation σ_v = A × R^β for all clouds in all quadrants. The black points, primarily showing the outer Galaxy clouds from Figure 17, have systematically lower linewidths, and fewer of them have large sizes. This fit should be taken as a blend of two measurably different populations, rather than as a universal size-linewidth relation.
