Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of our study is to quantify the components of “dark gas”. The dark gas is the gas which can be detected by the far-infrared dust emission or by gamma-ray, but cannot be traced by the HI 21cm line nor CO emission lines, and it is known to be abundant around dense molecular clouds. The origin of the dark gas should be either optically thick cold HI gas or diffuse molecular gas (H2) which cannot form or excite CO molecules. Using the new method that we named “velocity-dispersion method”, we analyzed the 21cm and CO emission lines around the Taurus molecular cloud, and found that the fraction of the cold HI gas in the dark gas is about 20%, and therefore the rest (~80%) of the dark gas should be the diffuse molecular gas without CO emission.
