VizieR Online Data Catalog: WISE-selected candidate SFRs beyond the Outer Arm (Izumi+, 2017)

In this paper, we use the WISE MIR all-sky survey data (Wright et al. 2010AJ....140.1868W; Jarrett et al. 2011ApJ...735..112J) and FCRAO ¹²CO survey data of the outer Galaxy (Heyer et al. 1998ApJS..115..241H). WISE mapped at least eight times over 99% of the sky in four MIR bands centered at 3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22 μm in the six-month survey in 2010 (Wright et al. 2010AJ....140.1868W). We used the AllWISE Source Catalog (http://wise2.ipac.caltech.edu/docs/release/allwise/) to obtain the WISE magnitudes and colors of the sample star-forming regions. The FCRAO ¹²CO survey of the outer Galaxy (Heyer et al. 1998) has achieved the best combination of large-area coverage and high sensitivity among all of the available CO surveys of the outer Galaxy. In this paper, we employed the molecular cloud catalog by Brunt et al. (2003, J/ApJS/144/47) to make use of the larger number of clouds compared with the original catalog by Heyer et al. (2001, J/ApJ/551/852).
