the CS J=2 →1 molecular line at 98 GHz, a normally optically thin line requiring high densities to be excited, has been detected with SEST (Swedish ESO Submillimeter Telescope) toward 294 IRAS pointlike sources having the characteristic FIR colors of embedded stellar objects and apparently associated with the largest molecular cloud complexes in the southern Milky Way. We present here their Galactocentric radial distribution and a correlation between their FIR and CS luminosities.
