Scientific paper

The Cygnus X region is prominent at many wavelengths. We present the results of a comparative study aimed at establishing the physical relationships between these various observations. We find that the bulk of the radio emission (H II regions) and the infrared emission (warm dust) is associated with a bubble surrounding the Cyg OB2 association at a distance of 1.7 kpc. The CO emission, by contrast, arises principally in front of Cyg OB2, and the H I emission behind Cyg OB2. We suggest an interpretation of these latter two observations in terms of molecular clouds forming at the inner edge of a spiral arm
