Descripción
Maps in the CO (J = 2-1) line of the southern H II region complexes
Carina Nebula and G333.6-0.2/RCW 106 are presented and discussed.
Results for the Carina Nebula indicate a complicated spatial structure;
an extended molecular cloud appears to be wrapped partly around the
brightest parts of the H II region (Car I and Car II). The situation in
Carina is consistent with a model for sequential star formation proposed
by Elmergreen and Lada (1977). At the positions of the other sources
observed, a giant molecular complex, at least 75 pc long and 20 pc wide,
is found. The complex consists of at least four large clouds and
coincides accurately with a distinct minimum in the H I distribution.
