Massive Star Formation, Outflows, and Anomalous H2 Emission in Mol 121 (IRAS 20188+3928)

G. Wolf-Chase, K. Arvidsson, M. Smutko +1

We have discovered 12 new molecular hydrogen emission-line objects (MHOs) in the vicinity of the candidate massive young stellar object Mol 121, in addition to five that were previ…

Retention of Stellar-Mass Black Holes in Globular Clusters

Meagan Morscher, Stefan Umbreit, Will M. Farr +1

Globular clusters should be born with significant numbers of stellar-mass black holes (BHs). It has been thought for two decades that very few of these BHs could be retained throug…

Imprints of Molecular Clouds in Radio Continuum Images

F. Yusef-Zadeh

We show radio continuum images of several molecular complexes in the inner Galaxy and report the presence of dark features that coincide with dense molecular clouds. Unlike infrare…

Constraining Intermediate-Mass Black Holes in Globular Clusters

Stefan Umbreit, Frederic A. Rasio

Decades after the first predictions of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) in globular clusters (GCs) there is still no unambiguous observational evidence for their existence. Th…

Understanding the Dynamical State of Globular Clusters: Core-Collapsed vs Non Core-Collapsed

Sourav Chatterjee, Stefan Umbreit, John M. Fregeau +1

We study the dynamical evolution of globular clusters using our Hénon-type Monte Carlo code for stellar dynamics including all relevant physics such as two-body relaxation, single…

The Remarkable High Pressure of the Local Leo Cold Cloud

David M. Meyer, J. T. Lauroesch, J. E. G. Peek +1

Using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) onboard the Hubble Space Telescope, we have obtained high-resolution ultraviolet spectra of the C I absorption toward two star…

Magnetic Field in The Isolated Massive Dense Clump IRAS 20126+4104

Hiroko Shinnaga, Giles Novak, John E. Vaillancourt +8

We measured polarized dust emission at 350um towards the high-mass star forming massive dense clump IRAS 20126+4104 using the SHARC II Polarimeter, SHARP, at the Caltech Submillime…

Magnetically-levitating disks around supermassive black holes

Evghenii Gaburov, Anders Johansen, Yuri Levin

In this paper we report on the formation of magnetically-levitating accretion disks around supermassive black holes. The structure of these disks is calculated by numerically model…
