Abstract:
    A large-scale 13CO(J=1-0) survey was performed with a 2.7' angular
    resolution toward the Cygnus region, using the two 4-m millimeter
    telescopes at Nagoya University. An area of 432deg^2^ was covered with
    an 8' grid spacing, and 24,300 positions were observed. Significant
    13CO emission (>1.2K.km/s=3{sigma}) is detected at 2191 positions,
    corresponding to a detection rate of 9%. On the basis of the ^13^CO
    data, 159 distinct clouds are identified. Physical properties of these
    clouds such as molecular column densities, sizes, and masses are
    derived for the individual clouds. Astronomical objects associated
    with the molecular clouds were searched for in the literature. Seven
    H II regions, three SNRs, 45 T Tauri-type stars, 18 molecular
    outflows, and 215 IRAS point sources selected as candidates for
    protostars are likely to be associated with the molecular clouds. This
    paper presents the observational technique used for this survey and a
    complete list of the detected molecular clouds in Cygnus.
