RCW 105
RCW 105 is a faint, rarely imaged emission nebula in Norma that is surrounded by a number of small molecular clouds. The area is a star forming region. It consists of two groups of stars together with stars on bright filaments. These stars include IR stars and stars with dust envelopes. This star formation region is embedded in a radial system of type-I dark globules that is formed by the star HD 144969.
