The Rewards of Coordination C 18 O Dust Emission Optical Image NICER Extinction Map Radial Density Profile, with Critical Bonnor-Ebert Sphere Fit Coordinated Molecular-Probe Line, Extinction & Thermal Emission Observations of Barnard 68 This figure highlights the work of Senior Collaborator João Alves and his collaborators. The top left panel shows a deep VLT image (Alves, Lada & Lada 2001). The middle top panel shows the 850 m continuum emission (Visser, Richer & Chandler 2001) from the dust causing the extinction seen optically. The top right panel highlights the extreme depletion seen at high extinctions in C 18 O emission (Lada et al. 2001). The inset on the bottom right panel shows the extinction map derived from applying the NICER method applied to NTT near-infrared observations of the most extinguished portion of B68. The graph in the bottom right panel shows the incredible radial-density profile derived from the NICER extinction map (Alves, Lada & Lada 2001). Notice that the fit to this profile shows the inner portion of B68 to be essentially a perfect critical Bonner-Ebert sphere
