13CO observations of YSOs in South Gal. plane
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
The Red MSX Source (RMS) survey is an ongoing multi-wavelength observational programme designed to return a large, well-selected sample of massive young stellar objects (MYSOs).
Description
We have identified ~2000 MYSOs candidates located within our Galaxy by comparing the colours of MSX and 2MASS point sources to those of known MYSOs. The aim of our follow-up observations is to identify other contaminating objects such as ultra compact (UC) HII regions, evolved stars and planetary nebulae (PNe) and distinguish between genuine MYSOs and nearby low-mass YSOs.
A critical part of our follow-up programme is to conduct ^13^CO molecular line observations in order to determine kinematic distances to all of our MYSO candidates. These distances will be used in combination with far-IR and (sub)millimetre fluxes to determine bolometric luminosities which will allow us to identify and remove nearby low-mass YSOs. In addition these molecular line observations will help in identifying evolved stars which are weak CO emitters.

We have used the 22m Mopra telescope, the 15m JCMT and the 20m Onsala telescope to conduct molecular line observations towards 854 MYSOs candidates located in the 3rd and 4th quadrants. These observations have been made at the J=1-0 (Mopra and Onsala) and J=2-1 (JCMT) rotational transition frequency of ^13^CO molecules and have a spatial resolution of ~20"-40", a sensitivity of T_A_^*^~0.1K and a velocity resolution of ~0.2km/s.
