Israel, F.P., 1980: CO observations of the galactic star-forming region W58. Astrophys. J., 236, 465-473, doi:10.1086/157763.
Observations of 12CO and 13CO have been made in the direction of the strong galactic radio source W58, which contains the compact H II regions K3-50 and ON-3. An extended molecular cloud with dimensions of 55 × 40 pc is associated with the northern part of the H II region complex. The density of the molecular cloud increases from west to east; the molecular cloud is bounded on the east by a larger H I cloud. Present star-formation activity is taking place at the position of maximum molecular density, at what appears to be the interface of the H I cloud and the H II region complex. The velocity structure of the CO cloud and the compact H II regions are in agreement with the blister model. Radio continuum and H I line observations show indications of a shell structure in the southwest of W58. Present star formation in W58 may be caused by this expanding shell.
