Rotationally-supported disks around Class I sources in Taurus: disk formation constraints
Daniel Harsono, Jes K. Jorgensen, Ewine F. van Dishoeck +4
(Abridged) Disks are observed around pre-main sequence stars, but how and when they form is still heavily debated. While disks around young stellar objects have been identified thr…
Near-infrared counterparts to the Galactic Bulge Survey X-ray source population
S. Greiss, D. Steeghs, P. G. Jonker +6
We report on the near-infrared matches, drawn from three surveys, to the 1640 unique X-ray sources detected by Chandra in the Galactic Bulge Survey (GBS). This survey targets faint…
CO ro-vibrational lines in HD100546: A search for disc asymmetries and the role of fluorescence
R. P. Hein Bertelsen, I. Kamp, M. Goto +5
We have studied the emission of CO ro-vibrational lines in the disc around the Herbig Be star HD100546 with the final goal of using these lines as a diagnostic to understand inner…
Spatially extended OH+ emission from the Orion Bar and Ridge
Floris van der Tak, Zsofia Nagy, Volker Ossenkopf +5
We report the first detection of a Galactic source of OH+ line emission: the Orion Bar, a bright nearby photon-dominated region. Line emission is detected over ~1' (0.12 pc), traci…
A Keplerian disk around a Class 0 source: ALMA observations of VLA1623A
Nadia M. Murillo, Shih-Ping Lai, Simon Bruderer +2
Context: Rotationally supported disks are critical in the star formation process. The questions of when do they form and what factors influence or hinder their formation have been…
Water and Methanol Maser Survey of Protostars in the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex
Miju Kang, Jeong-Eun Lee, Minho Choi +4
The results of a maser survey toward ninety-nine protostars in the Orion molecular cloud complex are presented. The target sources are low-mass protostars identified from infrared…
VLA and CARMA Observations of Protostars in the Cepheus Clouds: Sub-arcsecond Proto-Binaries Formed via Disk Fragmentation
John J. Tobin, Claire J. Chandler, David J. Wilner +8
We present observations of three Class 0/I protostars (L1157-mm, CB230 IRS1, and L1165-SMM1) using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and observations of two (L1165-SMM1 and…
Deuterated water in the solar-type protostars NGC 1333 IRAS 4A and IRAS 4B
A. Coutens, C. Vastel, S. Cabrit +19
Aims. The aim of this paper is to study deuterated water in the solar-type protostars NGC1333 IRAS4A and IRAS4B, to compare their HDO abundance distribution with other star-forming…
Dense molecular cocoons in the massive protocluster W3 IRS5: a test case for models of massive star formation
K. -S. Wang, T. L. Bourke, M. R. Hogerheijde +4
[Context] Two competing models describe the formation of massive stars in objects like the Orion Trapezium. In the turbulent core accretion model, the resulting stellar masses are…
Studying Galactic interstellar turbulence through fluctuations in synchrotron emission: First LOFAR Galactic foreground detection
M. Iacobelli, M. Haverkorn, E. Orrú +85
The characteristic outer scale of turbulence and the ratio of the random to ordered components of the magnetic field are key parameters to characterise magnetic turbulence in the i…
The Spatial Distribution of Organics toward the High-Mass YSO NGC 7538 IRS9
Karin I. Oberg, Mavis Dufie Boamah, Edith C. Fayolle +3
Based on astrochemical theory, the complex molecular composition around high-mass YSOs should evolve from the outer envelope in toward the central hot region as a sequence of tempe…
Alignment Between Flattened Protostellar Infall Envelopes and Ambient Magnetic Fields
Nicholas L. Chapman, Jacqueline A. Davidson, Paul F. Goldsmith +10
We present 350 micron polarization observations of four low-mass cores containing Class 0 protostars: L483, L1157, L1448-IRS2, and Serp-FIR1. This is the second paper in a larger s…
The outburst decay of the low magnetic field magnetar SGR 0418+5729
N. Rea, G. L. Israel, J. A. Pons +20
We report on the long term X-ray monitoring of the outburst decay of the low magnetic field magnetar SGR 0418+5729, using all the available X-ray data obtained with RXTE, SWIFT, Ch…
Water in star-forming regions with Herschel (WISH). IV. A survey of low-J H2O line profiles toward high-mass protostars
Floris van der Tak, Luis Chavarria, Fabrice Herpin +4
To understand the origin of water line emission and absorption during high-mass star formation, we decompose high-resolution Herschel-HIFI line spectra toward 19 high-mass star-for…
A candidate circumbinary Keplerian disk in G35.20-0.74 N: A study with ALMA
A. Sanchez-Monge, R. Cesaroni, M. T. Beltran +13
We report on ALMA observations of continuum and molecular line emission with 0.4" resolution towards the high-mass star forming region G35.20-0.74 N. Two dense cores are detected i…
The HIFI spectral survey of AFGL2591 (CHESS). I. Highly excited linear rotor molecules in the high-mass protostellar envelope
M. H. D. van der Wiel, L. Pagani, F. F. S. van der Tak +2
We aim to reveal the gas energetics in the circumstellar environment of the prototypical high-mass protostellar object AFGL2591 using space-based far-infrared observations of linea…
Probing the role of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the photoelectric heating within photodissociation regions
Yoko Okada, Paolo Pilleri, Olivier Berné +8
We observationally investigate the relation between the photoelectric heating efficiency in PDRs and the charge of PAHs, which are considered to play a key role in photoelectric he…
A Black Hole Nova Obscured by an Inner Disk Torus
J. M. Corral-Santana, J. Casares, T. Muñoz-Darias +5
Stellar-mass black holes (BHs) are mostly found in X-ray transients, a subclass of X-ray binaries that exhibit violent outbursts. None of the 50 Galactic BHs known show eclipses, w…
