Scientific paper

A joint team from Colorado, Texas, Caltech, and Hawaii is surveying more than 90 square degrees of the northern Galactic Plane at 1.1mm using the 144 element Bolocam camera on the Caltech Submillimeter Telescope. The survey will provide an unbiased view of the cold dust emission in the ISM from core to spiral arm scales. Some of the science goals that we intend to address include the formation of massive stars and their interaction with the ISM, cloud fragmentation, and cluster formation. Maps and a catalog of cloud cores will be publically available in 2008.
