Notes. 

(a)

A * indicates that the object is associated to Vela (Reipurth 1983; Zealey et al. 1983). Other distances are obtained from the analysis of the star reddening (Bourke et al. 1995; Lee & Myers 1999; Löhr et al. 2007). Three objects have no known distance.

(b)

The distance to the Gum Nebula center is computed assuming the coordinates to be αJ2000 = 08h22m53.6s, δJ2000 = −42°25′20′′ and a distance to the Sun of 450 pc.

(c)

P: PAH emission (or BRCs, see text. Emission in both 3.6 and 8 μm bands), C: coreshine (emission at 3.6 and absorption at 8 μm), A: absorption (at 8 μm, nothing or absorption at 3.6 μm).

(d)

N: no associated object, I: IRAS object, C0: Class 0 object, C1: Class I object, C2: Class II (classic T Tauri) object. See Sahu & Sahu (1993); Henning & Launhardt (1998); Santos et al. (1998); Racca et al. (2009); Lahuis et al. (2010); Launhardt et al. (2010); Rebull et al. (2011).

(e)

A chance encounter with a field star (Reipurth 1983).

(f)

Probably a chance alignment with a field star.
