Proposal Title: CH 3 GHz Observations of MBM 03
ABSTRACT:
We propose to observe the CH 3335 MHz line in the translucent cloud MBM 03 in order to calibrate the CO ­ H2
conversion factor following the technique outlined by Magnani and Onello (1995). An accurate determination of the
CO ­ H2 conversion factor will permit us to reliably determine column density and masses for the nearly 1 square
degree region we have mapped in the CO(1­0) transition in this cloud. With accurate mass determinations, we can
apply statistical techniques to the CO data set to determine the turbulence properties of the cloud.
