An analysis of the proper motion measurements of the young stellar objects (YSOs) associated with the cometary globules (CGs) in the Gum Nebula is presented. While earlier studies based on the radial-velocity measurements ...

The aim of this paper is to quantitatively testify the `small-scale sequential star formation' hypothesis in and around bright-rimmed clouds (BRCs). As a continuation of the recent attempt by Ogura et al., we have carried ...
