Relationship between the virial mass Mvir and the 12CO J = 1-0 luminosity L12CO(10)$L_{^{12}{\rm CO}(1-0)}$. The L12CO$L_{^{12}{\rm CO}}$ luminosities are transformed to L12CO(10)$L_{^{12}{\rm CO}(1-0)}$ using R32102$R_{\frac{3-2}{1-0}}{\sim}2$ (Johansson et al. 1998). The filled red circles correspond to completely resolved clumps, whereas the empty red circles correspond to clumps where the minor axis is unresolved. The dashed line represents the relationship found for molecular clouds in the first Galactic quadrant by Solomon et al. (1987), Mvir=39(L12CO(10))0.81$M_{vir}=39(L_{^{12}{\rm CO}(1-0)})^{0.81}$.
