Detection of CS emission towards Cygnus OB2 No. 12

Journal article, 2007

Aims.The CS (J = 2-1) line was searched at locations with brightest 13CO (J=1-0) emissions in the region in front of the star Cyg OB2 No. 12. Methods.The observations were made with the 20-m millimeter wave telescope at Onsala using a 1024-channel autocorrelator with a resolution of 50 kHz (0.14 km s-1). Results.The line was detected only in one position (core B) with main beam brightness temperature $T_{\rm MB} = 0.15(2)$ K at $v_{\rm LSR} = 11.4(1)$ km s-1. Conclusions.The line excitation analysis suggests that core B could be a Bok globule in consideration of its morphology, chemistry and physical conditions.
