C. Tenorio-tagle et Ga. Medina-tanco, Star clusters and the structure of the ISM: Tunnels and wakes in giant extragalactic H II regions, ASTROPHYS J, 503(2), 1998, pp. L171-L174
Several structures have been discovered embedded in regions of recent or on
going star formation, which points to the importance of the interaction bet
ween fast-moving, wind-blowing stars and their environment. Using hydrodyna
mic simulations, we investigate the passage through the interstellar medium
of a supersonic stellar wind source and show how it can naturally lead to
the formation of tubes, channels, and swamps of globules as interfaces are
crossed. The results are in excellent agreement with observation of 30 Dora
dus.
