The small clouds list for the JCMT Gould Belt SCUBA-2 survey includes all the small clouds which anyone would expect to be observed with SCUBA-2 as part of a study of nearby star formation. The list of more than 400 clouds has been compiled mainly from lists of previously-studied small clouds in the literature (Lee & Myers 1999, Clemens & Barvainis, Bourke, Hyland & Robinson, Jijina 1999, Visser et al. 2002) and includes all the clouds on the Herschel HIFI and Spitzer c2d small clouds lists. Sources within the main Gould's Belt clouds can be found on the main SCUBA-2 site and are not separately listed. The list does not include sources with dec < -38 degrees (hard from JCMT), or sources which are fairly certainly more than 500~pc away(sources with distance estimates > 700pc or modulus velocity > 10 km/s). For many sources, of course, the distance is not known. A complete list with details of each source is here Each figure below shows one or more "small clouds". The colourscale is the DSSII red plate, which shows the clouds as dark extinction patches or bright rims. Overlaid are Av contours from 2MASS (either Froebrich et al. 2007 or Jones priv. comm., undergraduate student of Gary Fuller's), plus visual extinction from Dobashi et al. 2005. The green GAIA boxes are the suggested SCUBA-2 mapping area (as given in the list). Mostly these are just a single 8'x8' SCUBA-2 field of view but the largest "small cloud", L1333, is ten degrees long. Where two or more "small clouds" lie close to each other then we have defined a larger "field" with a field centre (FC). Note that the field centres are therefore different from the coordinates of the multiple objects in that field. Many sources appear more than once in the literature. If you can't find your favourite source below, check the list to see if it has a different name. Contact Jenny Hatchell (University of Exeter) |
