CO emission from the Cow Nebula globule. Top left: emission integrated over the velocity interval v = −6.25 km s⁻¹ to − 4.5 km s⁻¹. The circle is centred at 5^h47^m04.^s3, +00°39′20′′ and serves to illustrate the circular morphology of the globule. Top right, bottom left, bottom right: integrated CO (top left panel) overlaid as contours over an optical image of the region (DSS2, blue), a Spitzer 8 μm image (Megeath et al. 2012), and a JCMT 850 μm map (Kirk et al. 2016), respectively.
