Energy exchange processes in molecular cloud W40
Description
We have studied the principal energy-exchange in molecular cloud (dark nebula) Westerhout 40 (G28.8+3.5). From the molecular spectral lines of 12CO and 13CO and the infrared observational data, the basic physical parameters of molecular cloud W40 may be estimated, and the cooling and heating rates for the gas and dust may then be calculated. From our calculations, we have also discussed the energy relations of the gas, dust, and embedded infrared source in molecular cloud W40
