Mollweide projection of our constructed XCO map. Our global value for XCO is 2 × 1020 K km s−1 cm−2, which is consistent with previous estimates. XCO varies by orders of magnitude within a few tens of arcminutes. In the surroundings of molecular regions, XCO ~ 1021 cm−2 (K km s−1)−1, while in the inner parts of clouds it decreases to XCO ~ 5 × 1019 cm−2 (K km s−1)−1. In the Galactic center, XCO increases significantly due to the high optical depths in that region. The angular resolution is 16′, and NSIDE=1024.
