A Neutral Gas Jet in a Low Velocity Shock Front at the Boundary of the Draco NebulaTwenty-one cm line observations with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope of a dust and molecular filament at the boundary of the Draco Nebula reveal a jet like neutral hydrogen feature funneling through an outlet in the low velocity shock front at the interface between the Draco Nebula and the surrounding gas. The jet like feature is apparently connected with a high velocity filament at VLSR = -180 km/sec. It is suggested that soft X-ray emission observed in the area is thermal bremsstrahlung produced by the deceleration of high velocity gas in galactic gas.
