Scientific paper

We present 1.1mm images of the Molecular Ring (l=25-35 degrees) from the Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey (BGPS). The Molecular Ring (located at 5kpc galactocentric radius) is the most active large scale site of star formation in our Galaxy. The 1.1mm BGPS is the first unbiased survey of the Galactic Plane in millimeter thermal dust emission. As such, we are discovering thousands of previously unknown sites of star formation, and providing a new view of the prolific star formation occurring in the Molecular Ring.
