The CARMA-NRO Orion Survey: Filament Formation via Collision-Induced Magnetic Reconnection -- The Stick in Orion A

Shuo Kong, Volker Ossenkopf-Okada, Héctor G. Arce +13

A unique filament is identified in the {\it Herschel} maps of the Orion A giant molecular cloud. The filament, which, we name the Stick, is ruler-straight and at an early evolution…

Astro2020 White Paper: On the Origin of the Initial Mass Function

Roberta Paladini, Matthew Povich, Lee Armus +10

It is usually assumed that the stellar initial mass function (IMF) takes a universal form and that there exists a direct mapping between this and the distribution of natal core mas…

The Plane's The Thing: The Case for Wide-Fast-Deep Coverage of the Galactic Plane and Bulge

Jay Strader, Elias Aydi, Christopher Britt +21

We argue that the exclusion of the Galactic Plane and Bulge from the uniform wide-fast-deep (WFD) LSST survey cadence is fundamentally inconsistent with two of the main science dri…
