The 4830 MHz formaldehyde absorption in a region of the southern coalsack

Description

The detection of formaldehyde absorption of the microwave background radiation in a region of the Southern Coalsack (Sinclair and Brooks 1972) was made at about the same time as an optical study of this region (Tapia 1972) in which six globule-like clouds of interstellar dust were found. The size (0.3 pc) and position of the formaldehyde cloud were similar to the corresponding parameters of one of the globules (No. 2 on Tapia's list).
