Cold Dust in Hot Regions
Gopika Sreenilayam, Michel Fich, Peter Ade +12
We mapped five massive star forming regions with the SCUBA-2 camera on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). Temperature and column density maps are obtained from the SCUBA-2 4…
Detection of a Noble Gas Molecular Ion, {36}ArH^+, in the Crab Nebula
M. J. Barlow, B. M. Swinyard, P. J. Owen +9
Noble gas molecules have not hitherto been detected in space. From spectra obtained with the Herschel Space Observatory, we report the detection of emission in the 617.5 GHz and 12…
Planck intermediate results. XVII. Emission of dust in the diffuse interstellar medium from the far-infrared to microwave frequencies
Planck Collaboration, A. Abergel, P. A. R. Ade +196
The dust-HI correlation is used to characterize the emission properties of dust in the diffuse interstellar medium. We cross-correlate sky maps from Planck, WMAP, and DIRBE, at 17…
Planck 2013 results. XI. All-sky model of thermal dust emission
Planck Collaboration, A. Abergel, P. A. R. Ade +244
This paper presents an all-sky model of dust emission from the Planck 857, 545 and 353 GHz, and IRAS 100 micron data. Using a modified black-body fit to the data we present all-sky…
Reconstructing the density and temperature structure of prestellar cores from data: A case study for B68 and L1689B
A. Roy, Ph. Andre', P. Palmeirim +22
Utilizing multi-wavelength dust emission maps acquired with , we reconstruct local volume density and dust temperature profiles for the prestellar cores B68 and L1689B us…
Pillars and globules at the edges of H ii regions, Confronting Herschel observations and numerical simulations
P. Tremblin, V. Minier, N. Schneider +24
Pillars and globules are present in many high-mass star-forming regions, such as the Eagle nebula (M16) and the Rosette molecular cloud, and understanding their origin will help ch…
SDC13 infrared dark clouds: Longitudinally collapsing filaments?
N. Peretto, G. A. Fuller, Ph. André +11
Formation of stars is now believed to be tightly linked to the dynamical evolution of interstellar filaments in which they form. In this paper we analyze the density structure and…
Two Mass Distributions in the L 1641 Molecular Clouds: The Herschel connection of Dense Cores and Filaments in Orion A
D. Polychroni, E. Schisano, D. Elia +23
We present the Herschel Gould Belt survey maps of the L1641 molecular clouds in Orion A. We extracted both the filaments and dense cores in the region. We identified which of dense…
MALT90: The Millimetre Astronomy Legacy Team 90 GHz Survey
J. M. Jackson, J. M. Rathborne, J. B. Foster +53
The Millimetre Astronomy Legacy Team 90 GHz (MALT90) survey aims to characterise the physical and chemical evolution of high-mass star-forming clumps. Exploiting the unique broad f…
On the evolution of the density pdf in strongly self-gravitating systems
Philipp Girichidis, Lukas Konstandin, Anthony P. Whitworth +1
The time evolution of the probability density function (PDF) of the mass density is formulated and solved for systems in free-fall using a simple appoximate function for the collap…
Variation in dust properties in a dense filament of the Taurus molecular complex (L1506)
Nathalie Ysard, Alain Abergel, Isabelle Ristorcelli +6
We observed the L1506 filament, which is located in the Taurus molecular complex, with the Herschel PACS and SPIRE instruments. Our aim is to prove the variation in grain propertie…
Planck intermediate results. XV. A study of anomalous microwave emission in Galactic clouds
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +180
Anomalous microwave emission (AME) is believed to be due to electric dipole radiation from small spinning dust grains. The aim of this paper is a statistical study of the basic pro…
Lupus I Observations from the 2010 Flight of the Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry
Tristan G. Matthews, Peter A. R. Ade, Francesco E. Angilè +29
The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry (BLASTPol) was created by adding polarimetric capability to the BLAST experiment that was flown in 2003, 20…
Global collapse of molecular clouds as a formation mechanism for the most massive stars
N. Peretto, G. A. Fuller, A. Duarte-Cabral +8
The relative importance of primordial molecular cloud fragmentation versus large-scale accretion still remains to be assessed in the context of massive core/star formation. Studyin…
Planck intermediate results. XIV. Dust emission at millimetre wavelengths in the Galactic plane
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +190
We use Planck HFI data combined with ancillary radio data to study the emissivity index of the interstellar dust emission in the frequency range 10 - 353 GHz, or 3 - 0.8 mm, in the…
Clumps and triggered star formation in ionised molecular clouds
S. Walch, A. P. Whitworth, T. G. Bisbas +2
Infrared shells and bubbles are ubiquitous in the Galaxy and can generally be associated with HII regions formed around young, massive stars. In this paper, we use high-resolution…
On column density thresholds and the star formation rate
Paul C. Clark, Simon C. O. Glover
We present the results of a numerical study designed to address the question of whether there is a column density threshold for star formation within molecular clouds. We have simu…
