Notes. (1) The values of ISRF, DGL, and SBmax are in units of 10-8 erg/s/cm2/ A/sr. The ISRF for different wavelengths are from Porter & Strong (2005). (2) τ and a are the extinction optical depth and albedo of the dust in the sky adjacent to B207 assuming RV = 3.1. The albedo values are from Draine (2003a). (3) τabs is the average absorption optical depth of photons after their first scattering, τabs = 0.5(1−a)τ. (4) IDGL,sky is the diffuse galactic light adjacent to B207, derived by using aIISRF(1−eτ)eτabs. (5) SBmax is the peak intensity of the globule after subtracting the nearby background sky intensity. (6) The quantity (0.78 × DGL+SBmax)/ISRF is the ratio of the maximum intensity at the rim of the globule to the intensity of the illuminating interstellar radiation field. (7) The albedo of the cloud, ac, evaluated from the corresponding ratio (0.78 ×IDGL+SBmax)/ISRF assuming the forward scattering asymmetry parameter, 0.6 ≤ g ≤ 0.9 from Fig. 6, Witt & Stephens (1974).
