Draco nebula Herschel 250um map

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The Draco nebula is a high Galactic latitude interstellar cloud observed at velocities corresponding to the intermediate velocity cloud regime.

Description

This nebula shows unusually strong CO emission and remarkably high-contrast small-scale structures for such a diffuse high Galactic latitude cloud. The 21cm emission of the Draco nebula reveals that it is likely to have been formed by the collision of a cloud entering the disk of the Milky Way.

Such physical conditions are ideal to study the formation of cold and dense gas in colliding flows of diffuse and warm gas. The objective of this study is to better understand the process of structure formation in a colliding flow and to describe the ects of matter entering the disk on the interstellar medium. We conducted Herschel-SPIRE observations of the Draco nebula.

The clumpfind algorithm was used to identify and characterize the small-scale structures of the cloud.
