Abstract

We suggest that the dissociation of molecular hydrogen by ultraviolet radiation may provide a substantial portion of the momentum required to accelerate molecular clouds to their high, observed velocities. The process, however, is important only when the dissociation front velocity, u, is small compared to the speed of sound, c, in the molecular cloud ahead of the front, or if u
