Globules and Pillars in Cygnus X I. Herschel Far-infrared imaging of the Cyg OB2 environment
N. Schneider, S. Bontemps, F. Motte +21
The radiative feedback of massive stars on molecular clouds creates pillars, globules and other features at the interface between the HII region and molecular cloud. We present her…
