...…of CO columns derived from isotopic measurements to H2 columns derived from optical extinction measurements using a standard dust–to–gas ratio (Dickman 1978; 1975; Dame et al. 2001), (ii) a comparison of γ–ray emission to CO surface brightness, where the γ–rays result from the interaction…...

...…the same linear relation between the gas mass and the CO line luminosity: (a) correlation of optical/IR extinction with 13CO in nearby dark clouds (Dickman 1978); (b) correlation of the flux of γ rays, produced by cosmic ray interactions with protons, with the CO line flux for the Galactic…...

...Emission from the lower frequency rotational transitions of carbon monoxide (CO) molecules in the radio band (the J=1 → 0 line is at 115 GHz) is used as a proxy for H2 in studies of Giant Molecular Clouds, (see e.g. Dickman (1978) and Glover & Mac Low (2011))....
