Abstract

Structures in molecular ISM are observed to follow a power-law relation between the velocity dispersion and spatial size, known as Larson's first relation, which is often attributed to the turbulent nature of molecular ISM and imprints the dynamics of molecular cloud structures. Using the ^13^CO (J=1-0) data from the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting survey, we built a sample with 360 structures having relatively accurate distances obtained from either the reddened background stars with Gaia parallaxes or associated maser parallaxes, spanning from 0.4 to ~15kpc. Using this sample and about 0.3 million pixels, we analyzed the correlations between velocity dispersion, surface/column density, and spatial scales. Our structure-wise results show power-law indices smaller than 0.5 in both the {sigma}_v_-Reff and {sigma}_v_-Reff.{SIGMA} relations. In the pixel-wise results, the {sigma}^pix^_v_ is statistically scaling with the beam physical size (Rs={THETA}D/2) in form of {sigma}^pix^_v_{prop.to}Rs^0.43+/-0.03^. Meanwhile, svpix in the inner Galaxy is statistically larger than the outer side. We also analyzed correlations between {sigma}^pix^_v_ and the H_2_ column density N(H_2_), finding that {sigma}^pix^_v_ stops increasing with N(H_2_) after >~10^22^cm^-2^. The structures with and without high-column-density (>10^22^cm^-2^) pixels show different {sigma}^pix^_v_{prop.to}N(H_2_)^xi^ relations, where the mean (std) xi values are 0.38 (0.14) and 0.62 (0.27), respectively.
