Interstellar Dust: Pleiades, Interstellar Dust

Scientific paper

IRAS survey coadds for a 8.7°×4.3° field near the Pleiades provide evidence for dynamical interaction between the cluster and the surrounding interstellar medium. Images of the far-infrared color temperature and 100 μm optical depth reveal temperature maxima and optical depth minima near the bright cluster stars, as well as a strong optical depth peak at the core of the adjacent CO cloud. Models for thermal dust emission near the stars indicate that most of the apparent optical depth minima near stars are illusory, but also and provide indirect evidence for small scale interaction between the stars and the encroaching dust cloud.
