Left panel: Color-composite image (red: WISE 22 μm; green: WISE 12 μm) of present 1° × 1° target area. Right panel: ¹²CO peak intensity map of the selected region. The blue and red contours represent the ¹²CO m-0 contours for the northern and southern molecular structures/clouds, respectively (see Section 4.1). The lowest level value for both the contours is the mean value with a step size of 1σ. The locations of five sites of active star formation are also marked with a magenta “+” marker in both panels.
