The NGC 2071 molecular cloud has been studied with a broad array of techniques, including a large scale study of CS emission, high resolution scans in the far-infrared, N H3 studies with the VLA, and near-infrarred imaging. The far-infrared emission constrains the density distribution to fall off approximately as r−1. The NH3 data strongly supports the presence of a disk oriented perpendicular to the molecular outflow, while the CS emission indicates the presence of dense gas in the region. The results will be combined into a coherent picture of this region of current star formation and molecular outflow.
