Scientific paper

Millimetric radio observations of two regions of the second galactic quadrant at l equals 111 and l equals 123 deg for clouds of the isotope (C-13)O are reported. The measurements were performed at 110 GHz, with 4 arcmin resolution, using 256 different 100 kHz filters. Ten molecular clouds were mapped with a signal/noise ratio between 20-40 with a radial velocity resolution of 1.3 km/sec. The largest cloud was in a Perseus arm, having dimensions of 50 x 10 pc, a mass of 12,000 solar masses, and a radial velocity of -37.7 km/sec. Correlations were not found between the densities of (C-13)O and CO in the Perseus and Orion arms.
