The 9.7 and 18 um silicate absorption profiles towards diffuse and molecular cloud lines-of-sight
J. M. van Breemen, M. Min, J. E. Chiar +8
Studying the composition of dust in the interstellar medium (ISM) is crucial in understanding the cycle of dust in our galaxy. The mid-infrared spectral signature of amorphous sili…

UWISH2 -- The UKIRT Widefield Infrared Survey for H2
D., Froebrich, C. J. +56
We present the goals and preliminary results of an unbiased, near-infrared, narrow-band imaging survey of the First Galactic Quadrant (10deg<l<65deg ; -1.3deg<b<+1.3deg). This area…
Discovery of an expanding molecular bubble in Orion BN/KL
Luis A. Zapata, Laurent Loinard, Johannes Schmid-Burgk +3
During their infancy, stars are well known to expel matter violently in the form of well-defined, collimated outflows. A fairly unique exception is found in the Orion BN/KL star-fo…
1.3 mm Wavelength VLBI of Sagittarius A*: Detection of Time-Variable Emission on Event Horizon Scales
Vincent L. Fish, Sheperd S. Doeleman, Christopher Beaudoin +27
Sagittarius A*, the ~4 x 10^6 solar mass black hole candidate at the Galactic Center, can be studied on Schwarzschild radius scales with (sub)millimeter wavelength Very Long Baseli…
The magnetic field in the NGC 2024 FIR 5 dense core
Felipe de O. Alves, Josep M. Girart, Shih-Ping Lai +2
We used the Submillimeter Array (SMA) to observe the thermal polarized dust emission from the protostellar source NGC 2024 FIR 5. The polarized emission outlines a partial hourglas…
New Panoramic View of CO and 1.1 mm Continuum Emission in the Orion A Molecular Cloud. I. Survey Overview and Possible External Triggers of Star Formation
Yoshito Shimajiri, Ryohei Kawabe, Shigehisa Takakuwa +17
We present new, wide and deep images in the 1.1 mm continuum and the CO (=1-0) emission toward the northern part of the Orion A Giant Molecular Cloud (Orion-A GMC). The 1…
High-resolution mapping of the physical conditions in two nearby active galaxies based on 12CO(1-0), (2-1) and (3-2) lines
F. Boone, S. Garcia-Burillo, F. Combes +7
We present a detailed analysis of high resolution observations of the three lowest CO transitions in two nearby active galaxies, NGC4569 and NGC4826. The CO(1-0) and (2-1) lines we…
Extremely large and hot multilayer Keplerian disk around the O-type protostar W51N: The precursors of the HCHII regions?
Luis A. Zapata, Ya-Wen Tang, Silvia Leurini
We present sensitive high angular resolution (0.57-0.78) SO, SO, CO, CHOH, HCN, and HCOCHOH line observations at millimeter and submillimeter wavelength…
A Change of Rotation Profile in the Envelope in the HH 111 Protostellar System: A Transition to a Disk?
Chin-Fei Lee
The HH 111 protostellar system consists of two Class I sources (VLA 1 and 2) with putative disks deeply embedded in a flattened envelope at a distance of 400 pc. Here is a follow-u…
Stability of Magnetized Disks and Implications for Planet Formation
Susana Lizano, Daniele Galli, Mike J. Cai +1
This paper considers gravitational perturbations in geometrically thin disks with rotation curves dominated by a central object, but with substantial contributions from magnetic pr…
N2H+ depletion in the massive protostellar cluster AFGL 5142
Gemma Busquet, Robert Estalella, Qizhou Zhang +4
We aim at investigating with high angular resolution the NH3/N2H+ ratio toward the high-mass star-forming region AFGL 5142 in order to study whether this ratio behaves similarly to…
Young starless cores embedded in the magnetically dominated Pipe Nebula
Pau Frau, Josep Miquel Girart, Maria T. Beltran +7
The Pipe Nebula is a massive, nearby dark molecular cloud with a low star-formation efficiency which makes it a good laboratory to study the very early stages of the star formation…
The Chemical Evolution of the Monoceros Ring/Galactic Anticenter Stellar Structure
Mei-Yin Chou, Steven R. Majewski, Katia Cunha +3
The origin of the Galactic Anticenter Stellar Structure (GASS) or "Monoceros ring" --- a low latitude overdensity at the edge of the Galactic disk spanning at least the second and…
The NH2D/NH3 ratio toward pre-protostellar cores around the UCHII region in IRAS 20293+3952
G. Busquet, Aina Palau, R. Estalella +5
The deuterium fractionation, Dfrac, has been proposed as an evolutionary indicator in pre-protostellar and protostellar cores of low-mass star-forming regions. We investigate Dfrac…
