Scientific paper

The G333 molecular line survey (or `DQS') exploits the capability of the Mopra telescope to survey multiple molecular line transitions in a 1 x 1.5 degree region of the southern Galactic plane. The aim to address some of the major questions concerning our understanding of massive star formation, including the relationship between turbulence and massive star formation, and the sources of turbulence in the ISM. We are using Fourier and non-Fourier methods to characterise the velocity and spatial structure traced by different molecules, and are cross-correlating the results to determine the underlying turbulent structure in the ISM. This is a key project of the UNSW star formation group. In this proposal we are requesting continuuing status for the project, as we need 42 days of Mopra telescope time in both 2006 and 2007 to complete the survey.
