Abstract:
                                      Dense molecular clumps are the sites of star formation, and their morphological characteristics are closely linked to the physical properties of the molecular gas. This study is based on data obtained with the Purple Mountain Observatory Delingha (PMODLH) 13.7 m telescope, covering the region with galactic longitudes (l) 10^\circ \leq l \leq 20° and galactic latitudes (b) |b| \leq 5°.25. We focus on the classification and morphological analysis of dense structures traced by 
13CO (J=1−0) & C
18O (J=1−0) emission lines. Using the FacetClumps algorithm, we detected molecular cores traced by the C
18O spectral line data and manually verified them, resulting in a sample of 544 C
18O cores. Approximately 5.97\% of the 
13CO clumps in this region contain C
18O cores. We categorized the 
13CO clumps based on the presence or absence of C
18O cores and found that those containing C
18O cores have significantly higher peak intensities, fluxes, and angular areas compared to those without C
18O cores. However, no significant differences in eccentricity or form factor were found between the two categories. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of form factor shows that the velocity-integrated intensity contours of C
18O cores are notably closer to circular shapes than those of 
13CO clumps.
