All-sky catalogs and analysis of interstellar clouds
Abstract
All available databases of molecular and gas-dust clouds in the Galaxy and other galaxies including their main properties such as position, angular and linear dimensions, distances, radial velocities, atomic and molecular hydrogen mass and column densities, temperatures, masses and others available are briefly described in the paper. An initial list of about 10 000 entries was condensed into a cross-identified all-sky catalogue containing molecular and gas-dust clouds. Some relationships were studied between main physical features of clouds. Finally, we prepared the complex observing program and address prospective work for gaining the gaps.
