We argue that the bubbles are primarily formed by hot young stars in massive star formation regions. We have found an average of about 1.5 bubbles per square degree. About 25% of the bubbles coincide with known radio HII regions, and about 13% enclose known star clusters. It appears that B4B9 stars (too cool to produce detectable radio HII regions) probably produce about three-quarters of the bubbles in our sample, and the remainder are produced by young OB3 stars that produce detectable radio HII regions.2006ApJ...649..759Chttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/649/759CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/649/759https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/649/759http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/649/759https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/649/759https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/649/759http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/649/759GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJ/649/759/bubbles (Bubble parameters)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/649/759/bubbles?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/649/759/bubbles?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/649/759/bubbles?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true272.34418-20.235970.0055555555555555565/7605 7654 10453 6/12968 12970 12971 12975 14336 14354 14355 14358 14365 14402 14403 14406 14409 29091 29095 29100 29101 29102 29114 29115 29118 29119 29463 29505 29508 29510 29511 29522 29534 29535 30218 30219 30241 30244 30245 30256 30258 30259 30262 30263 30269 30312 30313 30317 30318 30319 30330 30405 30416 30595 30601 30604 30605 30607 30622 30688 30691 30692 30694 30695 30701 30712 30713 30715 30717 30719 37893 37895 37906 41598 41599 41651 41654 41655 41657 41660 41662 41671 41675 41676 41677 41678 41681 41682 41683 41684 41685 41689 41696 41759 41765 41766 41767 41769 41770 41772 41773 41777 41778 41779 41780 41782 41798 41802 41803 41804 41805 41816 41820 41856 42155 42159 42169 42170 42171 42172 42207 42211 42214 42215 42216 42218 42224 42225 42229 42230 42377 42378 42379 42382 42387 42390 42392 42396 42397 42398 42434 42436 42439 42440 42441 42444 42497 42500 42512 43014 43015 43017 43018 43019 43020 43024 43026https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJ/649/759?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/ApJ/649/759/bubblesBubble parametersGLONGalactic longitude of bubble centerdegpos.galactic.lonrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
