Distribution of H 2 Co , Co , and Extinction in the Dark Cloud B 5
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have made observations of the dark cloud, B5 in the transitions of H 2 CO, J = 1 10 1 11 ,and 2 12 ! 1 11. We compared the H 2 CO result with the observational results of CO and with the visual extinction. There exists an overall correspondence of molecules and extinction. However, a detailed agreement is lacking. We discussed the kinematics and the spatial relationship of molecules and extinction in this cloud.

Extinction and dust/gas ratio in LMC molecular clouds
Aims. The goal of this paper is to measure the dust content and distribution in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) by comparing extinction maps produced in the near-infrared wavelengths and the spatial distribution of the neutral and molecular gas, as traced by H i and CO observations. Methods. In order to derive an extinction map of the LMC, we have developed a new method to measure the color ex...
متن کاملDetection of neutral carbon in the M 31 dark cloud D 478
Emission from the P1 − 3 P0 [CI] transition at 492 GHz has been detected towards the dark cloud D478 in the Local Group galaxy M 31. Using literature detections of the lower CO and CO transitions, models for the gas distribution in D 478 are discussed. The observed CO and C line ratios can be explained by twocomponent models (high density cores and low-density envelopes); single-density models ...
متن کاملMolecular Excitation and Differential Gas-Phase Depletions in the IC 5146 Dark Cloud
We present a combined near-infrared and molecular-line study of 25 × 8 area in the Northern streamer of the IC 5146 cloud. Using the technique pioneered by Lada et al. (1994), we construct a Gaussian smoothed map of the infrared extinction with the same resolution as the molecular line observations in order to examine correlations of integrated intensities and molecular abundances with extincti...
متن کاملMagnitude and color distribution of background stars as a probe of small-scale structure in the spatial distribution of interstellar dust
In order to determine the amplitude of small scale fluctuations of the extinction induced by molecular material, we have reconsidered the star count method in the context of fragmented clouds.We show that by studying the fullmagnitude distribution it is possible not only to estimate extinctions in a more reliable way than by using the classical procedure, but also to derive constraints on cloud...
متن کاملCO and IRAS observations of the Chamaeleon molecular clouds
We present an extensive survey of the CO emission from the conspicuous complex of dark nebulae in Chamaeleon. The CO observations together with IRAS, extinction and H I data are used to study the distribution of interstellar matter in the complex. The comparison of the cloud 100μm emission with AV shows that the far-infrared brightness traces the gas over most of the surface of the complex, spe...
