The Gum Nebula region as seen in different tracers. Left panel: Hα emission (D. P. Finkbeiner 2003). Middle panel: IRAS 60 μm emission (M. A. Miville-Deschênes & G. Lagache 2005), where the prominent ring-like structure is the IRAS Vela Shell (IVS). Right panel: projected 3D dust map from G. Edenhofer et al. (2024c; converted to Gaia G-band extinction) and integrated over the range of distances consistent with the IVS (d = 230−600 pc).
