Description:
Star counts technique is used towards southern dark globular filaments
situated in the cloud complexes of Corona Australis and Lupus. Tables
and maps of the distribution of visual extinction are presented for
each filament. Lower limit masses for the filaments and condensations
have been estimated and the central coordinates of the condensations
are also given. R CrA is the most active star forming region among the
filaments studied in this work whereas Lupus 1, with almost the same
lower limit of mass, has only a few T Tauri stars and just one young
embedded object. The distribution of direction of the magnetic field
in the condensations of Lupus, suggests that the condensation
morphologies does not have any apparent relation with the magnetic
field orientation.
