Using CO line ratios to trace the physical properties of molecular clouds

The carbon monoxide (CO) rotational transition lines are the most common tracers of molecular gas within giant molecular clouds (MCs). We study the ratio ($R_{2-1/1-0}$) between CO's first two emission lines and examine what information it provides about the physical properties of the cloud. To...
