Interaction between high-velocity clouds and the Galaxy: the case of the Orion molecular cloud complex.
Abstract
The location of the Orion molecular complex, about 150 pc away from the galactic plane, and some of the features of the region are discussed. Two possible origins are analyzed: (1) expanding shells from OB associations, and (2) a collision between the disk and a high-velocity cloud.
