Abstract:
The Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting (MWISP) is a landmark, unbiased, and high-sensitivity survey of the northern Galactic plane in 12CO, 13CO, and C18O lines with exceptional sensitivity and resolution. Its high-quality data has facilitated systematic studies across multiple astrophysical domains. During this talk, I will first present an overview of MWISP's observational strategy, emphasizing its unique capability to trace both diffuse and dense gas phases in the ISM. I will then focus on two topics of particular interest: (1) the interactions between supernova remnants and molecular clouds (SNR-MCs system), and (2) new discoveries related to the structures of the Galaxy. These findings highlight the significant potential of MWISP for advancing our understanding of gas dynamics, feedback processes, and the Galactic ecosystem as a whole.
