They are characterized by their lack of detectable emission in the mid-infrared: they appear as a dark silhouette against the corresponding mid-infrared background. IRDCs were first recognized in images from the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO, Egan et al. 1998) and the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX, Perault et al. 1996)38 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Gutiérrez, 2017http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Formació d'estelsTreballs de fi de màsterStars formationMaster's thesesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
