Multiwavelength observations of cirrus clouds in the North Celestial Loop: a study of the OH emission
Bibliographic record
Abstract
New 1665- and 1667-MHz OH observations were made with the Green Bank Telescope at an angular resolution of 7 arcmin of 108 locations over two diffuse gas clouds at high Galactic latitude. A linear correlation is observed between the IRAS 100 μm infrared intensity, which traces all the gas, and the OH column density, indicating that the amount of OH increases with the visual extinction above a threshold value of AV≈ 0.5. N(OH) increases monotonically with N(H i) in up to N(OH) ≈ 0.25–0.3 × 1014 cm−2. At greater values of N(OH) the H i column density saturates at N(H i) ≈ 5 × 1020 cm−2, suggesting that there is molecular gas not traced by H i. No correlation is found between the 12CO integrated intensity and the OH column density, indicating that OH might be a better tracer of H2 than CO in those diffuse regions. An H i column density of at least ≈2.2–2.9 × 1020 cm−2 is needed for the formation of OH, but in regions where the cloud is less shielded from the interstellar radiation field the value rises to N(H i) = 3.3 × 1020 cm−2.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
