Physical parameters of molecular clumps in the S254—S258 star formation region

This research is focusing on studying of physical parameters in the S254—S258 star-formation complex. The following parameters were derived: column densities, clump masses, and highdensity tracers optical depth, including CS and HCO+ molecules. Different gas and dust tracers maps were used, including CO molecular lines, Bolocam 1.1 mm continuum emission and near-infrared extinction map. We also used the available CS and HCO+ data, which cover part of the S254-S258 region to make conclusions regarding the distribution of highdensity gas. The resulted values of physical parameters obtained through different tracers are slightly different. The discussion about the possible reason for the difference is provided.
