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 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: First results from the Corona Australis molecular cloud and evidence of variable dust emissivity indices in the Coronet region
Kate Pattle, David Bresnahan, Derek Ward-Thompson +47
We present 450m and 850m James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) observations of the Corona Australis (CrA) molecular cloud taken as part of the JCMT Gould Belt Legacy Survey…
An Overview of the MHONGOOSE Survey: Observing Nearby Galaxies with MeerKAT
W. J. G. de Blok, E. A. K. Adams, P. Amram +65
MHONGOOSE is a deep survey of the neutral hydrogen distribution in a representative sample of 30 nearby disk and dwarf galaxies with HI masses from 10^6 to ~10^{11} M_sun, and lumi…
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…
Dust polarized emission observations of NGC 6334; BISTRO reveals the details of the complex but organized magnetic field structure of the high-mass star-forming hub-filament network
D. Arzoumanian, R. Furuya, T. Hasegawa +145
[Abridged] Filaments and hubs have received special attention recently thanks to studies showing their role in star formation. While the column density and velocity structures of b…
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…
