7. Recent astrometrie observations report that the distance to the Ophiuchus star-forming region is 120 ± 5 pc (8). However, we adopted a conventional distance of 160 pc in order to compare our data with previous studies.

14. Although we refer to this emission as a bridge, the word is not used here in the kinematic sense.
15. Because its inclination is difficult to evaluate, we assumed that SR24 is face-on for simplicity.

The Hubble Space Telescope data presented here were obtained from the Multimission Archive at the Space Telescope Science Institute (MAST). The numerical simulations were performed on a Hitachi SR110000 at the Institute of Media and Information Technology, Chiba University, Japan.
