abstract
The Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting (MWISP) project is an unbiased Galactic plane CO survey for mapping regions of l=-10deg to +250deg and |b|<5.2deg with the 13.7 m telescope of the Purple Mountain Observatory. The legacy survey aims to observe the 12CO, 13CO, and C18O (J=1-0) lines simultaneously with full sampling using the nine-beam Superconducting SpectroScopic Array Receiver (SSAR) system with an instantaneous bandwidth of 1 GHz. In this paper, the completed 250 deg^2 data from l=+25.8deg to +49.7deg are presented with a grid spacing of 30" and a typical rms noise level of ~0.5 K for 12CO at the channel width of 0.16 km/s and ~0.3 K for 13CO and C18O at 0.17 km/s. The high quality data with moderate resolution (50"), uniform sensitivity, and high spatial dynamic range, allow us to investigate the details of molecular clouds (MCs) traced by the three CO isotope lines. Three interesting examples are briefly investigated, including distant Galactic spiral arms traced by CO emission with VLSR<0 km/s, the bubble-like dense gas structure near the HII region W40, and the MCs distribution perpendicular to the Galactic plane.

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.
