Herbst & Havlen (1977) have suggested that the star formation in Ara OB1 may may have been triggered by a supernova explosion.
Arnal et al. (1988) have found evidence for an expanding shell of neutral (HI) and molecular (CO) gas coexisting with the OB association.It is suggested that this thick shell, possibly originated by the winds from the massive stars of NGC6167, is genetically linked to AraOB1.
Rizzo & Bajaja (1994) also found evidence for an expanding HI structure in the region.
A multicolor polarimetric study of the region (Waldhausen et al., 1999) is also in line with the scenario of sequential star formation suggested by Arnal et al. (1988).

Ara OB1: another example of sequential star forming ?
12CO,13CO,18CO of a small region (2’x 2’) centred on RCW108-IR, HPBW=30”(±10”), Vr=-22.5 / -25.1 kms-1. (Urquhart et al. 2003) [MOPRA]
Extensive 13CO (110 GHz) of this region were performed by Yamaguchi et al. (1999), as part of their molecular line studies of southern sky HII region “associated withbright rimmed clouds”. Association of IRAS point sources with molecular clouds.[Nanten]

The region of Ara OB1 is an active high mass star forming region in the southern sky.
Very little is known about the large scale spatialdistribution and properties of the molecular gas
that may be physically related to this stellar complex.
Based on morphological and kinematical arguments, nine molecular concentrations are likely to be associated with the absorbing material observed in the vicinity of NGC 6193 Most of the CO structures associated with Ara OB1 fall in the narrow velocity range –24 to –20 kms-1.But... There is also CO gas (projected close to NGC 6193) that depicts the highest negative (-28.5 kms-1) and positive (-17.5 kms-1) velocitiesThe total amount of molecular gas is ~ 1.5 x 104 Mо.Three concentrations (labeled E, F and H, respectively) are the dominant features.The above features have a strong correlation with infrared emission (IRAS+MSX) Peak of emission of feature E almost coincident with RCW108-IR (IRAS16362-4845) Velocity gradient along NGC 6188. On average, its radial velocity is a few kms-1 more negative than those of structures C, E, F & H. Possible molecular outflows in features E and F?
