Interferometric observations of the 21-cm line of atomic hydrogen resolve out the emission from extended, line-of-sight clouds and allow the detailed study of compact H I structures in the surroundings of some stars. These atomic hydrogen components most probably are the result of photodissociation of gas that originally was in molecular form. They have been observed in H II regions, reflection nebulae, and planetary nebulae. The study of this atomic hydrogen component is important to determine the mass and physical conditions of gas in the environment of luminous stars and to test our theoretical knowledge of photodissociation regions.
