The California Molecular Cloud (CMC) is a molecular cloud region situated near the California Nebula in the constellation Perseus. Compared to other molecular clouds like the Orion A Molecular Cloud, the California MC exhibits relatively low star formation activity.[1][2][3]
This feature consists of two intersecting low-density filaments, creating a dense hub region. The filaments extend in the southeast and southwest directions, forming an angle of approximately 60 degrees in the plane of the sky. Notably, these filaments contain chains of closely spaced dense cores, indicating active star formation within the cloud.
