Scientific paper

The authors describe the results of a study of the mean lifetime of molecular clouds based on actual observations. Using the model of growth from cloud-cloud collision and observations of 13CO along the galactic equator between longitudes 27°.85 and 40°, they derive a lower limit of 1×109 yr for the lifetime of the interstellar molecular clouds.
