An HI Survey of the Perseus Molecular Cloud Complex

The Perseus Molecular Cloud Complex is only 250-300 pc distant and is the prototypical region of active, clustered, low-to-intermediate mass star formation. So fundamentally important is Perseus that it is currently the sub ject of two far-reaching star formation surveys, the Spitzer "Cores to Disks" (C2D) Legacy Survey and the related CO-ordinated Molecular Probe Line Extinction and Thermal Emission (COMPLETE) survey, that will each map the entirety of the complex in a number of complementary ways. We propose that HI emission from the Perseus Complex and its environs be mapped with Arecibo and the ALFA array. Arecibo HI data will leverage effectively the C2D/COMPLETE data and address significantly the formation, evolution, and destruction of molecular clouds, connecting stars to their atomic gas origins.
