A kinematic analysis of the giant molecular complex W3: Possible evidence for cloud–cloud collisions that triggered OB star clusters in W3 Main and W3(OH)

W3 is one of the most outstanding regions of high-mass star formation in the outer solar circle, and includes two active star-forming clouds: W3 Main and W3(OH). Based on a new analysis of the ${^{12}\text{CO}(J = 2-1)}$ data obtained at $38^{\prime \prime }$ resolution, we have found three clouds t...
