Catalog of 1,573 molecular clouds with robust distances from 150 to 3000 pc determined by matching CO intensity maps to dust extinction maps, 90% measured for the first time with ~20% statistical and ~10% systematic uncertainties.
Observational study of 100 LMC GMCs finds median 13CO(2-1)/12CO(2-1) line ratio of 0.078, nearly linear with luminosity, and higher in clouds hosting IR-bright young stellar objects.
