Connecting "Continuum" & "Spectral-line" Maps

• "Continuum"=no velocity information

  • extinction maps, far-IR and sub-mm dust emission (SOFIA/HAWC)

• "Spectral Line"=velocity information

  • primarily mm- and sub-mm maps with high (<<1 km/s) velocity resolution (Note: far-IR velocity resolution still coarse ~10 km/s)
