Abstract
We present large-scale trends in the distribution of star-forming objects revealed by the Hi-GAL survey. As a simple metric probing the prevalence of star formation in Hi-GAL sources, we define the fraction of the total number of Hi-GAL sources with a 70 μm counterpart as the ‘star-forming fraction’ or SFF. The mean SFF in the inner galactic disc (3.1 kpc
