An unusual system of H I filaments near WR 5 and HD 17603.

Abstract (from CDS):

We report the discovery of a system of unusual H I filaments that appear to be associated with molecular clouds in the Perseus spiral arm of our Galaxy. We investigate the hypothesis that this system is the result of a directed flow of dissociated gas from clouds trapped within an extended wind flow from massive stars. The Wolf-Rayet star WR 5 and the O Ib(f) star HD 17603 are identified as candidate driving sources. However, an examination of this hypothesis within the context of the theory of mass-loaded winds shows that these two stars alone cannot account for the energetics and kinematics of the required spherically symmetric wind flow. Unless the apparent association between H I, molecular gas, and stars is an accidental one, we suggest that other as yet unidentified stars must have contributed to driving the filaments.
