First Data Release of the ESO-ARO Public Survey SAMPLING—SMT “All-sky” Mapping of Planck Interstellar Nebulae in the Galaxy
Abstract
We make the first data release (DR1) of the ongoing ESO Public Survey SAMPLING (http://dx.doi.org/10.7910/DVN/0L8NHX). DR1 comprises of 124 fields distributed in $70^\circ < l < 216^\circ$, $-35^\circ < b < 25^\circ$. The 12CO and 13CO (2-1) cubes are gridded in $8"$ pixels, with an effective resolution of $36"$. The channel width is 0.33 km/s and the RMS noise is $T_{\rm mb}<0.2$ K. Once completed, SAMPLING and complementary surveys will initiate the first major step forward to characterize molecular clouds and star formation on truly Galactic scales.
