The James Clerk Maxwell Telescope Legacy Survey of Nearby Star-forming Regions in the Gould Belt
D. Ward-Thompson, J. Di Francesco, J. Hatchell +59
This paper describes a James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) legacy survey that has been awarded roughly 500 hrs of observing time to be carried out from 2007 to 2009. In this surve…
The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: A First Look at Southern Orion A with SCUBA-2
Steve Mairs, D. Johnstone, H. Kirk +52
We present the JCMT Gould Belt Survey's first look results of the southern extent of the Orion A Molecular Cloud (). Employing a two-step struc…
The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: First results from the SCUBA-2 observations of the Ophiuchus molecular cloud and a virial analysis of its prestellar core population
K. Pattle, D. Ward-Thompson, J. M. Kirk +59
In this paper we present the first observations of the Ophiuchus molecular cloud performed as part of the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) Gould Belt Survey (GBS) with the SCUB…
The JCMT Spectral Legacy Survey
R. Plume, G. A. Fuller, F. Helmich +30
Stars form in the densest, coldest, most quiescent regions of molecular clouds. Molecules provide the only probes which can reveal the dynamics, physics, chemistry and evolution of…
The JCMT Plane Survey: early results from the l = 30 degree field
T. J. T. Moore, R. Plume, M. A. Thompson +55
We present early results from the JCMT Plane Survey (JPS), which has surveyed the northern inner Galactic plane between longitudes l=7 and l=63 degrees in the 850-μm continuum wit…
The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: SCUBA-2 observations of circumstellar disks in L 1495
J. V. Buckle, E. Drabek-Maunder, J. Greaves +51
We present 850m and 450m data from the JCMT Gould Belt Survey obtained with SCUBA-2 and characterise the dust attributes of Class I, Class II and Class III disk sources in…
The JCMT Legacy Survey of the Gould Belt: a first look at Taurus with HARP
C. J. Davis, A. Chrysostomou, J. Hatchell +31
As part of a JCMT Legacy Survey of star formation in the Gould Belt, we present early science results for Taurus. CO J=3-2 maps have been secured along the north-west ridge and bow…
The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: A First Look at the Auriga-California Molecular Cloud with SCUBA-2
H. Broekhoven-Fiene, B. C. Matthews, P. Harvey +57
We present 850 and 450 micron observations of the dense regions within the Auriga-California molecular cloud using SCUBA-2 as part of the JCMT Gould Belt Legacy Survey to identify…
The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: A First Look at IC 5146
D. Johnstone, S. Ciccone, H. Kirk +53
We present 450 and 850 micron submillimetre continuum observations of the IC5146 star-forming region taken as part of the JCMT Gould Belt Survey. We investigate the location of bri…
The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: Evidence for Dust Grain Evolution in Perseus Star-forming Clumps
Michael Chun-Yuan Chen, J. Di Francesco, D. Johnstone +56
The dust emissivity spectral index, , is a critical parameter for deriving the mass and temperature of star-forming structures, and consequently their gravitational stability.…
The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: Evidence for radiative heating and contamination in the W40 complex
D. Rumble, J. Hatchell, K. Pattle +55
We present SCUBA-2 450μm and 850μm observations of the W40 complex in the Serpens-Aquila region as part of the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) Gould Belt Survey (GBS) of nea…
The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: Evidence for radiative heating in Serpens MWC 297 and its influence on local star formation
D. Rumble, J. Hatchell, R. A. Gutermuth +61
We present SCUBA-2 450micron and 850micron observations of the Serpens MWC 297 region, part of the JCMT Gould Belt Survey of nearby star-forming regions. Simulations suggest that r…
The SCUBA-2 "All-Sky" Survey
M. A. Thompson, S. Serjeant, T. Jenness +45
The sub-millimetre wavelength regime is perhaps the most poorly explored over large areas of the sky, despite the considerable effort that has been expended in making deep maps ove…
The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: A First Look at Dense Cores in Orion B
H. Kirk, J. Di Francesco, D. Johnstone +54
We present a first look at the SCUBA-2 observations of three sub-regions of the Orion B molecular cloud: LDN 1622, NGC 2023/2024, and NGC 2068/2071, from the JCMT Gould Belt Legacy…
