The CO-to-H2 Conversion Factor
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the theoretical underpinning, techniques, and results of efforts to estimate the CO-to-H2 conversion factor in different environments, and recommend a conversion factor XCO = 2×10 20 cm −2 (K km s −1 ) −1 with ±30% uncertainty.

TL;DR: The Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE), a Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) Legacy Science Program, will be a fully sampled, confusion-limited infrared survey of the inner Galactic disk with a pixel resolution of ∼1 as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) as discussed by the authors is a collection of images collected by the SIRTF Legacy Science Program with a pixel resolution of 1.2" using the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Neutral Atomic Phases of the Interstellar Medium in the Galaxy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided an analytic approximation for Pmin as a function of metallicity, far-ultraviolet radiation field, and the ionization rate of atomic hydrogen.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the extinction ratio between two of the filters, e.g., AJ/AK, is required to calculate A[λ]/AK from those measured ratios, which shows a flattening across the 3-8 μm wavelength range, roughly consistent with the extinction measurements derived by Lutz and coworkers for the sight line toward the Galactic center.
