In Search for Infall Motions in Molecular Clumps

We started a systematic search for infall motions in molecular clumps from CO and its isotopic lines. Initial search resulted in a total of > 3500 candidates. Follow up observations of a subsample of the candidates with HCO+ and HCN lines confirm ~100 sources showing infall signatures. Our result suggest this is a good start to study the very early stage of star formation.
