Molecular gas dynamics in the Rosette Nebula
Abstract
We present observations of the Rosette Nebula and its near environment in the CO 3-2 transition obtained with an angular resolution of 20″. The gas dynamics of the region are complex; we find (1) a ring of gas expanding at about 20 km s−1, (2) a number of collimated outflow sources, and (3) a chain of dust clumps having a velocity gradient along its length.
