Descripción
We investigate the distribution of the interstellar gas related to RCW 78 based on ^{12}CO(1-0) observations carried out with the SEST telescope and on data belonging to the NANTEN survey. Complementary HI 21-cm line data from the SGPS and radio data at 4.85 GHz were also used. We report the detection of molecular gas having velocities in the range [-56,-33] km/s associated with the western section of RCW 78. The CO emission distribution is compatible with the interpretation that the western section of the nebula originated in the photodissociation and ionization of the molecular gas by the UV photons of the WN7 star HD 117688, which, along with the action of the stellar winds, carved the molecular cloud.
Investigamos la distribución del gas interestelar asociado a RCW 78 utilizando observaciones de 12CO(1-0) obtenidas con el telescopio SEST y datos pertenecientes al relevamiento de NANTEN. Se utilizan tambi´en datos complementarios de la línea de 21 cm del Hi extraídos del SGPS y del continuo de radio en 4.85 GHz. Reportamos la detección de gas molecular con velocidades en el intervalo [–56,–33] km s−1 asociado con el sector oeste de RCW 78. La distribución del CO es compatible con la interpretación de que la nebulosa se originó en la fotodisociación e ionización del gas molecular por los fotones ultravioletas de la estrella WN7 HD 117688, los cuales, junto con la acción de los vientos estelares, socavaron la nube molecular.
