Statistical modeling of CO emission in the galaxy

Extract
We summarize here some of the distribution properties of CO clouds in our galaxy as determined by observation and by computer simulations of these observations. The simulations adequately account for the number of clouds, their spatial separation, and their relative velocities with respect to one another. The principal shortcoming of the axisymmetric simulations is their failure to describe adequately the clustering of clouds seen in the velocity-longitude domain.
