We present a multiwavelength investigation of a region of a nearby giantmolecular cloud that is distinguished by a minimal level of star formationactivity. With our new 12CO(J=2-1) and 13CO(J=2-1) observations of a remoteregion within the middle of the California molecular cloud, we aim toinvestigate the relationship between filaments, cores, and a molecular outflowin a relatively pristine environment. An extinction map of the region fromHerschel Space Observatory observations reveals the presence of two 2-pc-longfilaments radiating from a high-extinction clump. Using the 13CO observations,we show that the filaments have coherent velocity gradients and that theirmass-per-unit-lengths may exceed the critical value above which filaments aregravitationally unstable. The region exhibits structure with eight cores, atleast one of which is a starless, prestellar core. We identify a low-velocity,low-mass molecular outflow that may be driven by a flat spectrum protostar. Theoutflow does not appear to be responsible for driving the turbulence in thecore with which it is associated, nor does it provide significant supportagainst gravitational collapse.
