Measurements at other Wavelengths
Infrared �Cirrus�
really slightly warm dust
X-Rays of hot gas near exploded stars
(supernova)
Radio observations of �Molecular
Clouds�
Called that because cool and dense
enough for molecules to form
H2 also hard to detect
CO common and easy to detect
Densest have 1000 atoms/cm3
T as low as 10 K
Location of star formation
