Description
The Scorpius Centaurus OB association (parallactic distances 118-145 pc) is the closest massive star group to the Sun. Its extent of more than 50 degrees on the sky ensures spatially resolved information from radio up to gamma ray frequencies. We analyse multiwavelength data for the different gaseous component: hot X-ray emitting bubbles, swept-up HI and molecular shells, dusty filaments and star-forming clumps. Gamma ray lines from radioactivities constrain recent supernova events. We connect the different gas phases by hydrodynamical modelling and simulations. I will present an overview of the observations on the Scorpius-Centaurus region and the discuss the physical processes we might witness.
