Evidence for Environmental Changes in the Submillimeter Dust Opacity
Peter G. Martin, Arabindo Roy, Sylvain Bontemps +25
The submillimeter opacity of dust in the diffuse Galactic interstellar medium (ISM) has been quantified using a pixel-by-pixel correlation of images of continuum emission with a pr…
Dust in Historical Galactic Type Ia Supernova Remnants with Herschel
H. L. Gomez, C. J. R. Clark, T. Nozawa +13
The origin of interstellar dust in galaxies is poorly understood, particularly the relative contributions from supernovae and the cool stellar winds of low-intermediate mass stars.…
Episodic accretion, radiative feedback, and their role in low-mass star formation
Dimitris Stamatellos, David Hubber, Anthony Whitworth
It is speculated that the accretion of material onto young protostars is episodic. We present a computational method to include the effects of episodic accretion in radiation hydro…
Comparing simulations of ionisation triggered star formation and observations in RCW 120
S. Walch, A. Whitworth, T. Bisbas +2
Massive clumps within the swept-up shells of bubbles, like that surrounding the galactic HII region RCW 120, have been interpreted in terms of the Collect and Collapse (C&C) mechan…
Filaments and ridges in Vela C revealed by Herschel: from low-mass to high-mass star-forming sites
Tracey Hill, Frederique Motte, Pierre Didelon +29
We present the first Herschel PACS and SPIRE results of the Vela C molecular complex in the far-infrared and submillimetre regimes at 70, 160, 250, 350, and 500 um, spanning the pe…
The initial conditions of isolated star formation - X. A suggested evolutionary diagram for prestellar cores
R. J. Simpson, D. Johnstone, D. Nutter +2
We propose an evolutionary path for prestellar cores on the radius-mass diagram, which is analogous to stellar evolutionary paths on the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram. Using James Cl…
A 100-parsec elliptical and twisted ring of cold and dense molecular clouds revealed by Herschel around the Galactic Center
S. Molinari, J. Bally, A. Noriega-Crespo +38
Thermal images of cold dust in the Central Molecular Zone of the Milky Way, obtained with the far-infrared cameras on-board the Herschel satellite, reveal a 3x10^7 solar masses rin…
The immediate environment of the Class 0 protostar VLA1623, on scales of ~50-100 AU, observed at millimetre and centimetre wavelengths
D. Ward-Thompson, J. M. Kirk, J. S. Greaves +1
We present high angular resolution observations, taken with the Very Large Array (VLA) and Multiple Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN) radio telescopes, at 7mm an…
Using H-alpha Morphology and Surface Brightness Fluctuations to Age-Date Star Clusters in M83
Bradley C. Whitmore, Rupali Chandar, Hwihyun Kim +21
We use new WFC3 observations of the nearby grand design spiral galaxy M83 to develop two independent methods for estimating the ages of young star clusters. The first method uses t…
Flow-Driven Cloud Formation and Fragmentation: Results From Eulerian and Lagrangian Simulations
Fabian Heitsch, Thorsten Naab, Stefanie Walch
The fragmentation of shocked flows in a thermally bistable medium provides a natural mechanism to form turbulent cold clouds as precursors to molecular clouds. Yet because of the l…
The importance of episodic accretion for low-mass star formation
Dimitris Stamatellos, Anthony Whitworth, David Hubber
A star acquires much of its mass by accreting material from a disc. Accretion is probably not continuous but episodic. We have developed a method to include the effects of episodic…
Characterizing interstellar filaments with Herschel in IC5146
D. Arzoumanian, Ph. André, P. Didelon +21
We provide a first look at the results of the Herschel Gould Belt survey toward the IC5146 molecular cloud and present a preliminary analysis of the filamentary structure in this r…
Arecibo PALFA Survey and Einstein@Home: Binary Pulsar Discovery by Volunteer Computing
B. Knispel, P. Lazarus, B. Allen +35
We report the discovery of the 20.7 ms binary pulsar J1952+2630, made using the distributed computing project Einstein@Home in Pulsar ALFA survey observations with the Arecibo tele…
The initial conditions of high-mass star formation: radiative transfer models of IRDCs seen in the Herschel Hi-GAL survey
L. A. Wilcock, J. M. Kirk, D. Stamatellos +13
The densest infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) may represent the earliest observable stage of high-mass star formation. These clouds are very cold, hence they emit mainly at far-infrared…
Planck Early Results: The Galactic Cold Core Population revealed by the first all-sky survey
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +202
We present the statistical properties of the first version of the Cold Core Catalogue of Planck Objects (C3PO), in terms of their spatial distribution, temperature, distance, mass,…
Planck Early Results: The submillimetre properties of a sample of Galactic cold clumps
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +201
(abridged) We perform a detailed investigation of sources from the Cold Cores Catalogue of Planck Objects (C3PO). Our goal is to probe the reliability of the detections, validate t…
Planck Early Results: All sky temperature and dust optical depth from Planck and IRAS: Constraints on the "dark gas" in our galaxy
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +204
We construct an all-sky map of the apparent temperature and optical depth of thermal dust emission using the Planck-HFI and IRAS data. The optical depth maps are correlated to trac…
The turbulent fragmentation of the interstellar medium: The impact of metallicity on global star formation
S. Walch, R. Wuensch, A. Burkert +2
We study the influence of gas metallicity, turbulence, and non-equilibrium chemistry on the evolution of the two-phase interstellar medium (warm and cold atomic phases), and thereb…
