Overview

The Auriga-California molecular cloud is a large region of relatively modest star formation that is part of the Gould Belt. The Herschel Space Observatory program OT1_pharvey01_3 ("The Auriga-California Molecular Cloud: A Massive Nearby Cloud With Powerful Diagnostics For Early Stages of Star Formation", PI Paul Harvey) observed a 14.5 square degree area of the cloud in five far-infrared bands. The first delivery (DR1) of the Herschel program is available here using spatial and visualization tools.
