Abstract
The Forgotten Quadrant Survey (FQS) is an ESO large project at the 12-m Kitt Peak antenna of the Arizona Radio Observatory with the aim to map the Galactic Plane in the range 220\degr12CO (1-0), and 13CO (1-0). FQS will produce a dataset of great legacy value, largely improving the data quality both in terms of sensitivity and spatial resolution over existing datasets, in this poorly studied portion of the outer Galaxy. FQS contributes to the general effort to produce a new generation of high-quality spectroscopic data for the Galactic Plane. Such data, in conjunction with the latest generation continuum surveys, will produce a new and more detailed picture of the plane of the Milky Way.
