Scientific paper

The paper presents 2.6 mm wavelength CO and (C-13)O observations of 130 molecular clouds associated with reflection nebulae. Enhanced CO emission was found in the vicinity of the illuminating star in about half the objects studied. There is a tendency for the CO peak to be slightly displaced from the star. Many examples of peaks that appear to result from heating of the cloud by the nearby star are found, while others appear to be associated with independent concentrations of material.
