As already mentioned there is plenty of evidence for recent or ongoing star formation in bright-rimmed clouds and cometary globules. The molecular nature of the clouds has been confirmed and young stellar objects have been found associated with some of them. One of the foci in recent studies of star formation is the so-called dispersed T Tauri stars, which are found far outside molecular clouds. The magnification follows the color band. Surface distribution of the objects in Table 1.
