Supersonic Line Broadening within Young and Massive Super Star Clusters
G. Tenorio-Tagle, R. Wunsch, S. Silich +2
The origin of supersonic infrared and radio recombination nebular lines often detected in young and massive superstar clusters are discussed. We suggest that these arise from a col…
Brown dwarfs forming in discs: where to look for them?
Dimitris Stamatellos, Anthony Whitworth
A large fraction of the observed brown dwarfs may form by gravitational fragmentation of unstable discs. This model reproduces the brown dwarf desert, and provides an explanation t…
The BLAST Survey of the Vela Molecular Cloud: Physical Properties of the Dense Cores in Vela-D
Luca Olmi, Peter A. R. Ade, Daniel Angles-Alcazar +34
The Balloon-borne Large-Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST) carried out a 250, 350 and 500 micron survey of the galactic plane encompassing the Vela Molecular Ridge, with the…
Dependence of the Star Formation Efficiency on the Parameters of Molecular Cloud Formation Simulations
Yetli Rosas-Guevara, Enrique Vazquez-Semadeni, Gilberto C. Gomez +1
We investigate the response of the star formation efficiency (SFE) to the main parameters of simulations of molecular cloud formation by the collision of warm diffuse medium (WNM)…
Submillimetre Variability of Eta Carinae: cool dust within the outer ejecta
H. L. Gomez, C. Vlahakis, C. M. Stretch +5
Previous submillimetre (submm) observations detected 0.7 solar masses of cool dust emission around the Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) star Eta Carinae. These observations were hinder…
BLAST05: Power Spectra of Bright Galactic Cirrus at Submillimeter Wavelengths
Arabindo Roy, Peter A. R. Ade, James J. Bock +25
We report multi-wavelength power spectra of diffuse Galactic dust emission from BLAST observations at 250, 350, and 500 microns in Galactic Plane fields in Cygnus X and Aquila. The…
The role of thermodynamics in disc fragmentation
Dimitris Stamatellos, Anthony Whitworth
Thermodynamics play an important role in determining the way a protostellar disc fragments to form planets, brown dwarfs and low-mass stars. We explore the effect that different tr…
The JCMT Legacy Survey of the Gould Belt: a first look at Orion B with HARP
J. V. Buckle, E. I. Curtis, J. F. Roberts +30
The Gould Belt Legacy Survey will survey nearby star-forming regions (within 500 pc), using HARP (Heterodyne Array Receiver Programme), SCUBA-2 (Submillimetre Common- User Bolomete…
Temperature Profiles and the Effect of AGN on Submillimeter Emission from BLAST Observations of Resolved Galaxies
Donald V. Wiebe, Peter A. R. Ade, James J. Bock +24
Over the course of two flights, the Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST) made resolved maps of seven nearby (<25 Mpc) galaxies at 250, 350, and 500 microns.…
90GHz and 150GHz observations of the Orion M42 region. A sub-millimeter to radio analysis
S. R. Dicker, B. S. Mason, P. M. Korngut +13
We have used the new 90GHz MUSTANG camera on the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) to map the bright Huygens region of the star-forming region M42 with a resolution of 9" a…
BIMA N2H+ 1-0 mapping observations of L183 -- fragmentation and spin-up in a collapsing, magnetized, rotating, pre-stellar core
Jason M. Kirk, Richard M. Crutcher, Derek Ward-Thompson
We have used the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Array (BIMA) to make deep N2H+ 1-0 maps of the pre-stellar core L183, in order to study the spatial and kinematic substructure within th…
The fragmentation of expanding shells I: Limitations of the thin--shell approximation
James E. Dale, Richard Wunsch, Anthony Whitworth +1
We investigate the gravitational fragmentation of expanding shells in the context of the linear thin--shell analysis. We make use of two very different numerical schemes; the FLASH…
Optical and submillimetre observations of Bok globules -- tracing the magnetic field from low to high density
D. Ward-Thompson, A. K. Sen, J. M. Kirk +1
We present optical and submillimetre polarimetry data of the Bok globule CB3 and optical polarimetry data of the Bok globule CB246. We use each set of polarimetry data to infer the…
Accounting for the Foreground Contribution to the Dust Emission towards Kepler's Supernova Remnant
H. L. Gomez, L. Dunne, R. Ivison +7
Whether or not supernovae contribute significantly to the overall dust budget is a controversial subject. Submillimetre (submm) observations, sensitive to cold dust, have shown an…
High- and Low-Mass Star Forming Regions from Hierarchical Gravitational Fragmentation. High local Star Formation Rates with Low Global Efficiencies
Enrique Vazquez-Semadeni, Gilberto C. Gomez, A. Katharina Jappsen +2
We investigate the properties of "star forming regions" in a previously published numerical simulation of molecular cloud formation out of compressive motions in the warm neutral a…
BLAST: The Mass Function, Lifetimes, and Properties of Intermediate Mass Cores from a 50 Square Degree Submillimeter Galactic Survey in Vela (l = ~265)
Calvin. B. Netterfield, Peter A. R. Ade, James J. Bock +24
We present first results from an unbiased 50 deg^2 submillimeter Galactic survey at 250, 350, and 500 micron from the 2006 flight of the Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter…
