This study explores atomic and molecular gas in the galaxy, including observations of M33, M51, and Pipe Nebula, with an emphasis on extinction and evolutionary tracks of stars. Data from various tracers like CO emission and infrared imaging provide insights into stellar formation and evolution processes.
