HCN is considered to be a very good tracer of dense gas in both the Milky Way and external galaxies is linearly correlated with star formation rates from size scale from dense clumps to whole galaxies. This star formation relationship covers 10 orders of magnitude in both mass and luminosity. Despite this strong correlation the link between star formation and the availability of dense gas is not fully understood. We will take advantage of recent Galactic plane surveys to investigate the relationship between HCN and star formation to investigate this relationship and identify the physical connection between the two.

HCN被认为是银河系和外部星系的非常好的密集气体的示踪剂，与从密集团到整个星系的尺寸尺度的恒星形成速率线性相关。这种恒星形成关系涵盖了质量和光度的10个数量级。尽管存在这种密切的相关性，但尚未完全了解恒星形成与密集气体的可用性之间的联系。我们将利用最近的银河平面调查来研究HCN和Star形成之间的关系，以研究这种关系并确定两者之间的物理联系。
