Abstract. We have carried out systematic surveys for small bright-rimmed clouds asso- ciated with IRAS point sources in/around HII regions. They are candidate sites for star formation due to radiation-driven implosion.

Key words: Star Formation - - IRAS point sources - - HII Regions - - Radiation-driven Implosion --catalogs

Bright-r immed clouds are often found in /a round relatively old HII regions and have been suspected to be potential sites of star formation due to the compression by converging ionization-shock fronts. They are considered to be originally dense cores of the parental molecular clouds and have emerged after the dispersion of the ambient gas due to UV radiation from OB stars. Their physical conditions match well the theoretical models of radiation- driven implosion (e.g. Bertoldi 1989) and, therefore, induced star formation is generally expected there. We have systematically searched for small bright- r immed clouds associated with IRAS point sources to locate candidates for such star formation. The POSS atlas has been used in the northern sky, and the ESO(R) /SERC(J ) atlases in the southern sky.

Eighty-nine bright-r immed clouds associated with IRAS point sources have been selected (Table I). At least 19 (20 %) of the 89 clouds are known to be associated with molecular outflows, and six with HH objects. Most of their sizes are <1pc, and the luminosities of the associated IRAS point sources,

10 to 3 x 104L®, are much larger than those of the IRAS sources associated with Bok globules or dense cores in dark cloud complexes, both having a similar cloud mass range. This suggests that intermediate-mass stars or multiple star systems are mainly formed in the bright-r immed clouds. Also, IRAS luminosity to cloud mass ratios are significantly greater titan those in Bok globules or dense cores. The details are reported in Sugitani et al. (1991) and Sugitani & Ogura (1994)
