Interstellar Medium In And Around The Milky Way, Mopra

Scientific paper

We propose to combine Mopra's newly-developed Fast Mapping and pseudo-Fast-Mapping capabilities to conduct a demonstrator for a long-overdue (but previously technically forbidding) comprehensive survey of the entire southern Milky Way's molecular Interstellar Medium. In this demonstrator we will evaluate and refine our mapping strategy, in order to optimise the full survey to come. ThrUMMS' goal will be to obtain arcminute-resolution, 0.7 K sensitivity maps of 12CO and 13CO throughout the 4th quadrant. Together with other ongoing or planned surveys of the Milky Way's cold ISM, ThrUMMS' parsec-resolution maps will revolutionise our understanding of star formation, the total ecology of the ISM and its relationship with our Galaxy's stars, and the dynamics, chemistry, structure and evolution of the Milky Way itself.
