MASS Observations of the Perseus , Orion A , Orion B , and Monoceros R 2 Molecular
We use the 2MASS Second Incremental Release Point Source Catalog to investigate the spatial distribution of young stars in the Perseus, Orion A, Orion B, and MonR2 molecular clouds. After subtracting a semi-empirical model of the field star contamination from the observed star counts, stellar surface density maps are used to identify compact clusters and any stellar population found more unifor...
متن کاملStar Formation in the Orion-monoceros Complex
Pre-main sequence stars in the Orion-Monoceros Complex are either distributed in groups closed associated with dense cores, or dispersed along molecular filaments. Some molecular clouds are apparently affected by the OrionEridanus Superbubble created by the Wolf-Rayet winds and supernovae from the OriOB1 association, whose shock fronts compressed and triggered starbirth in adjacent molecular cl...
متن کاملA Uniform CO Survey of the Molecular Clouds in Orion
We report the results of a new large scale survey of the Orion-Monoceros complex of molecular clouds made in the J = 1 → 0 line of 12 CO with the Harvard-Smithsonian 1.2 m millimetre-wave telescope. The survey consists of 52 288 uniformly spaced spectra that cover an area of 432 deg 2 on the sky and represent the most sensitive large-scale survey of the region to date. Distances to the constitu...
متن کاملA Spitzer/IRAC Survey of the Orion Molecular Clouds
We present initial results from a survey of the Orion A and B molecular clouds made with the InfraRed Array Camera (IRAC) onboard the Spitzer Space Telescope. This survey encompasses a total of 5.6 square degrees with the sensitivity to detect objects below the hydrogen burning limit at an age of 1 Myr. These observations cover a number of known star forming regions, from the massive star formi...
متن کاملThe Monoceros R2 Molecular Cloud
The Monoceros R2 region was first recognized as a chain of reflection nebulae illuminated by Aand B-type stars. These nebulae are associated with a giant molecular cloud that is one of the closest massive star forming regions to the Sun. This chapter reviews the properties of the Mon R2 region, including the namesake reflection nebulae, the large scale molecular cloud, global star formation act...
