The Taurus molecular cloud 1 (often abbreviated TMC-1) is a giant molecular cloud in the constellation of Taurus. The cloud is notable for containing many complex molecules, including cyanopolyynes HC''n''N for ''n''=3,5,7,9.〔 A. Freeman and T. J. Millar (1983), ''Formation of complex molecules in TMC-1''. Nature, volume 301, 402-404 〕 The Taurus Molecular Cloud is only 140 pc (430 ly) away from earth, making it the nearest large star formation region. It also reveals characteristics that make it ideal for detailed physical studies. It has been important in star formation studies at all wavelengths. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Taurus Molecular Cloud 1」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
