High-latitude molecular clouds and near-by OB associations
The Galactic disribution of the high-latitude molecular clouds is considered. It is suggested that the majority of these clouds are clustered in two large shells around the two closest OB associations, Per OB3/Cas-Tau and Sco OB2. The most prominent shell of high-latitude clouds is centred around the Per OB3/ Cas-Tau association which is also at the centre of the Gould’s Belt. However, the Per ...
متن کاملHigh-Latitude Molecular Clouds as γ-ray Sources for GLAST
For about two decades, a population of relative small and nearby molecular clouds has been known to exist at high Galactic latitudes. Lying more than 10 from the Galactic plane, these clouds have typical distances of ∼150 pc, angular sizes of ∼1, and masses of order tens of solar masses. These objects are passive sources of high-energy γ-rays through cosmic ray-gas interactions. Using a new wid...
متن کاملExtended Red Emission in High-Galactic Latitude Interstellar Clouds
Nearby interstellar clouds at high Galactic latitudes are ideal objects in which the interaction of interstellar dust with photons from the well-characterized interstellar radiation field can be studied. Scattering and UV-excited photoluminescence at optical wavelengths as well as thermal emission at midand far-infrared wavelengths are observable manifestations of such interactions. Here we rep...
متن کاملDiscovery of Temperate Latitude Clouds on Titan
Until now, all the clouds imaged in Titan’s troposphere have been found at far southern latitudes (60 –90 south). The occurrence and location of these clouds is thought to be the result of convection driven by the maximum annual solar heating of Titan’s surface, which occurs at summer solstice (2002 October) in this south polar region. We report the first observations of a new recurring type of...
متن کاملGeographic control of Titan's mid-latitude clouds.
Observations of Titan's mid-latitude clouds from the W. M. Keck and Gemini Observatories show that they cluster near 350 degrees W longitude, 40 degrees S latitude. These clouds cannot be explained by a seasonal shift in global circulation and thus presumably reflect a mechanism on Titan such as geysering or cryovolcanism in this region. The rate of volatile release necessary to trigger cloud f...
