CO obs. of Planck Galactic cold clumps

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Sixty-five Planck Galactic cold clumps (PGCCs) from the first quadrant (IQuad) and 39 from the anticenter direction region (ACent) were observed in ^12^CO, ^13^CO, and C^18^O J=1-0 lines using the 13.7m telescope of the Purple Mountain Observatory.

Description

All the targets were detected in all three lines, except for 12 IQuad and 8 ACent PGCCs without C^18^O detection. Seventy-six and 49 velocity components were obtained in IQuad and ACent respectively; 146 cores were extracted from 76 IQuad clumps and 100 cores from 49 ACent clumps.

The average Tex of IQuad cores and ACent cores is 12.4K and 12.1K, respectively. The average line widths of ^13^CO of IQuad cores and ACent cores are 1.55km/s and 1.77km/s, respectively. Among the detected cores, 24 in IQuad and 13 in ACent have asymmetric line profiles.

The small blue excesses, ~0.03 in IQuad and 0.01 in ACent, indicate that star formation is not active in these PGCC cores. Power-law fittings of the core mass function to the high-mass end give indices of -0.57 in IQuad and -1.02 in ACent, which are flatter than the slope of the initial mass function given by Salpeter. The large turnover masses of 28M_{sun}_ for IQuad cores and 77M_{sun}_ for ACent cores suggest low star formation efficiencies in PGCCs.

The correlation between virial mass and gas mass indicates that most PGCC cores in both regions are not likely pressure-confined.
