Abstract

To address its temperature and density we made observations of the galactic plane in CO (2-1) line with VST1 and VST2. Using a kinetic model we estimate the volume emissivities and the line intensity ratio as a function of galactocentric radius. Using data in the first and 4th quadrants separately we got shallow gradient in the both quadrants; at the smaller radius is the higher in ratio. The gradient is contributed by less bright pixels in the l-v diagram, suggesting molecular gas in interarm is different along the galactocentric radius but in arm is not.
