Abstract:
We have surveyed a ∼0.9 square degree area of the W3 giant molecular
cloud (GMC) and star-forming region in the 850-um continuum, using the
Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array on the James Clerk Maxwell
Telescope. A complete sample of 316 dense clumps were detected with a
mass range from around 13 to 2500M☉.
Description:
The observations were made during 2001 July 1724 and 26, using the
Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) receiver on the 15-m
James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT).
