Ghost Nebula H2 Emission Line Profiles
Date

The H 2 emission line profiles for the sunny , ridge , and shady regions of the Ghost Nebula. No emission is detected in the sunny side of the PDR, showing the sharp photo-dissociation transition caused by the efficient self-shielding in H 2 . The dashed blue line shows the center of the detected emission line and the solid red line shows the Gaussian fit.
