	globule
		A small, dense, round cloud of dust and gas that absorbs radiation and appears as a fl blob when seen against the background of a bright nebula or star field; also known as Bok globule after Bart Bok who first drew attention to them and suspected they might be protostars.
		While it is generally assumed they are the cores of fragments of molecular clouds that are in the process of collapsing to form individual stars, they could also be fragments that have become hung up by a combination of internal magnetic and turbulent pressure and are failed star-forming cores.
		Globules are the smallest and most regular features of the interstellar medium.

		Bok suggested that the globules were clouds of gas in the process of condensation and that stars might be in the early stages of formation there.

		Bok suggested that certain isolated and distinct globules obscuring background light in space were in fact evidence of an important preliminary stage in the formation of protostellar disks leading to the birth of stars such as our sun.
		The team started by selecting ten Bok globules for observation based on small apparent size, near-circular shape, distance from neighboring nebulosity, proximity to the Earth (less than 1700 LYs away), and accessibility to near-infrared and radio wave collecting instruments located in both the northern and southern hemispheres.
		Once candidate Bok globules were selected, the team subjected each of them to a battery of observations designed to determine their mass, density, temperature, size, and if possible, the amount of pressure applied on them by the ISM and neighboring starlight.

		These opaque, dark knots of gas and dust are called "Bok globules," and they are absorbing light in the center of the nearby emission nebula and star-forming region, NGC 281.
		Bok hypothesized that giant molecular clouds, on the order of hundreds of light-years in size, can become perturbed and form small pockets where the dust and gas are highly concentrated.
		The Bok globules in NGC 281 are located very close to the center of the IC 1590 cluster.

	* Bok Globule - (Astronomy): Definition
		In 1947, Bart Bok suggested that the small dark globules of interstellar gas and dust were undergoing collapse on their way to forming new stars.
		Recent observations at radio wavelengths of a gas cloud known as Bok Globule B335 have produced images of material collapsing onto a newly born star (only about 150,000 years old).
		The clouds, which are known as Bok globules after the astronomer who first described them, are so thick that they absorb the light from stars or gas clouds behind them.

	H II region - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Before then, the dense regions which contain the new stars are often seen in silhouette against the rest of the ionised nebula — these dark patches are known as Bok globules, after astronomer Bart Bok, who proposed in the 1940s that they might be stellar birthplaces.
		Confirmation of Bok's hypothesis had to wait until 1990, when infrared observations finally penetrated the thick dust of Bok globules to reveal young stellar objects within.
		It is now thought that a typical Bok globule contains about 10 solar masses of material in a region about a light year or so across, and that Bok globules most commonly result in the formation of double or multiple star systems

		A globule is an interstellar cloud of dust and hydrogen gas that contracts and undergoes gravitational collapse to form a star.

		Bok globules, named after astronomer Bart Bok who studied them extensively, are small dark clouds made of gas and dust that are typically condensing to form a star or stars.

		In this scenario, the globule CB3 (Clemens and Barvainis 1988; LBN594), associated with the IRAS source 00259+5625, stands out for its distance (2500 pc according Launhardt and Henning 1997, while the average distance for Bok globules is around 600 pc) and for its high luminosity: 930

		A central concentration of reddened stars and a lower density halo of less reddened stars within the globule are revealed by JHK photometry.
		A weak diffuse emission halo is detected in the near infrared with colours consistent with either scattered light or a ro-vibrational H-2 cascade.
		This supports a scheme in which this Bok globule has formed independently rather than through dislocation from a nearby molecular cloud.

		The thermal dust continuum emission at 848 microns from the globule CB068, a Class-0 young stellar object (YSO), reveals strong linear polarization percentage values in two polarized-intensity regions located on both sides of the center, away from the twin CO outflows.
		The two polarized regions are located on both sides of the axis of the twin CO outflows, with polarization contours paralleling the outflows.

		Due to their relatively isolated location, Bok globules are well suited to study the direct interplay between protostellar collapse, fragmentation, and magnetic fields since they are less affected by strong turbulence and other nearby star-forming events.
		The observations are not sensitive to the low-density material along the path length between the observer and the Bok globule.
		The polarization maps of the Bok globules CB 26, CB 54, and DC 253-1.6 at 850 micron are shown in Figs.

		Individual distances of the globules are derived with a method which associates the globules with larger molecular cloud complexes.
		Using the detection rates and the relative frequencies of the globule groups, lifetimes of the different evolutionary stages are derived.
