Formation of dense structures induced by filament collisions. Correlation of density, kinematics and magnetic field in the Pipe nebula

Pau Frau, Josep M. Girart, Felipe Alves +3

Context. The Pipe nebula is a molecular cloud that lacks star formation feedback and has a relatively simple morphology and velocity structure. This makes it an ideal target to tes…

Chemically Distinct Nuclei and Outflowing Shocked Molecular Gas in Arp 220

R. Tunnard, T. R. Greve, S. Garcia-Burillo +9

We present the results of interferometric spectral line observations of Arp 220 at 3.5mm and 1.2mm from the Plateau de Bure Interferometer (PdBI), imaging the two nuclear disks in…

Fast molecular jet from L1157-mm

M. Tafalla, R. Bachiller, B. Lefloch +4

L1157-mm powers a molecular outflow that is well-known for its shock-induced chemical activity in several hot-spots. We have studied the molecular emission toward L1157-mm searchin…

Chains of dense cores in the Taurus L1495/B213 complex

M. Tafalla, A. Hacar

(Abridged) We study the kinematics of the dense gas in the Taurus L1495/B213 filamentary region to investigate the mechanism of core formation. We use observations of N2H+(1-0) and…

New N-bearing species towards OH231.8+4.2: HNCO, HNCS, HCN and NO

L. Velilla Prieto, C. Sánchez Contreras, J. Cernicharo +7

OH231.8+4.2 is a well studied O-rich CSE around an intermediate-mass evolved star that displays bipolar molecular outflows accelerated up to 400 km/s. OH231 also presents an except…

The Importance of the Magnetic Field from an SMA-CSO-Combined Sample of Star-Forming Regions

Patrick M. Koch, Ya-Wen Tang, Paul T. P. Ho +14

Submillimeter dust polarization measurements of a sample of 50 star-forming regions, observed with the SMA and the CSO covering pc-scale clouds to mpc-scale cores, are analyzed in…
