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 Gould Belt Survey: A Quantitative Comparison Between SCUBA-2 Data Reduction Methods
S. Mairs, D. Johnstone, H. Kirk +18
Performing ground-based submillimetre observations is a difficult task as the measurements are subject to absorption and emission from water vapour in the Earth's atmosphere and ti…
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 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 Plane Survey: First complete data release - emission maps and compact source catalogue
D. J. Eden, T. J. T. Moore, R. Plume +42
We present the first data release of the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) Plane Survey (JPS), the JPS Public Release 1 (JPSPR1). JPS is an 850-um continuum survey of six fields…
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…
