The Ap 2-1 nebula and the surrounding molecular cloud G35.2 - 0.74: An active star-forming region

Using data from large-scale surveys, like 2MASS, GLIMPSE, MIPSGAL, VGPS, GRS and IPHAS, we performed a multiwavelength study of the interstellar medium in a region of about 20 × 20 arcmin2 towards the molecular cloud G35.2 - 0.74. Additionally, the Ap 2-1 nebula, which is seen in projection over the...
