The thermal emission of Centaurs and Trans-Neptunian objects at millimeter wavelengths from ALMA observations

E. Lellouch, R. Moreno, T. Müller +9

The sensitivity of ALMA makes it possible to detect thermal mm/submm emission from small/distant Solar System bodies at the sub-mJy level. Measured fluxes are primarily sensitive t…

Deuterated methanol on Solar System scale around the HH212 protostar

E. Bianchi, C. Codella, C. Ceccarelli +13

Context: Methanol is thought to be mainly formed during the prestellar phase and its deuterated form keeps memory of the conditions at that epoch. Thanks to the unique combination…

[CII] emission from L1630 in the Orion B molecular cloud

C. H. M. Pabst, J. R. Goicoechea, D. Teyssier +11

Observations towards L1630 in the Orion B molecular cloud, comprising the iconic Horsehead Nebula, allow us to study the interplay between stellar radiation and a molecular cloud u…

Dynamical Masses of Low Mass Stars in the Taurus and Ophiuchus Star Forming Regions

M. Simon, S. Guilloteau, E. di Folco +8

We report new dynamical masses for 5 pre-main sequence (PMS) stars in the L1495 region of the Taurus star-forming region (SFR) and 6 in the L1688 region of the Ophiuchus SFR. Since…

The Flying Saucer: Tomography of the thermal and density gas structure of an edge-on protoplanetary disk

A. Dutrey, S. Guilloteau, V. Piétu +10

Determining the gas density and temperature structures of protoplanetary disks is a fundamental task to constrain planet formation theories. This is a challenging procedure and mos…

An upper limit on the mass of the circumplanetary disk for DH Tau b

Schuyler G. Wolff, Francois Menard, Claudio Caceres +7

DH Tau is a young (1 Myr) classical T Tauri star. It is one of the few young PMS stars known to be associated with a planetary mass companion, DH Tau b, orbiting at large sep…

ALMA survey of massive cluster progenitors from ATLASGAL. Limited fragmentation at the early evolutionary stage of massive clumps

T. Csengeri, S. Bontemps, F. Wyrowski +18

The early evolution of massive cluster progenitors is poorly understood. We investigate the fragmentation properties from 0.3 pc to 0.06 pc scales of a homogenous sample of infrare…

Observations of M31 and M33 with the Fermi Large Area Telescope: a galactic center excess in Andromeda?

LAT Collaboration

The Fermi LAT has opened the way for comparative studies of cosmic rays (CRs) and high-energy objects in the Milky Way (MW) and in other, external, star-forming galaxies. Using 2 y…

A Surface Density Perturbation in the TW Hydrae Disk at 95 au Traced by Molecular Emission

R Teague, D Semenov, U Gorti +6

We present ALMA Cycle~2 observations at resolution of TW Hya of CS emission. The radial profile of the integrated line emission displays oscillatory fe…

Thermal physics of the inner coma: ALMA studies of the methanol distribution and excitation in comet C/2012 K1 (PanSTARRS)

M. A. Cordiner, N. Biver, J. Crovisier +11

We present spatially and spectrally-resolved observations of CHOH emission from comet C/2012 K1 (PanSTARRS) using The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) on 201…

Dissecting the molecular structure of the Orion B cloud: Insight from Principal Component Analysis

Pierre Gratier, Emeric Bron, Maryvonne Gerin +12

Context. The combination of wideband receivers and spectrometers currently available in (sub-)millimeter observatories deliver wide- field hyperspectral imaging of the interstellar…

Turbulence and star formation efficiency in molecular clouds: solenoidal versus compressive motions in Orion B

Jan H. Orkisz, Jérôme Pety, Maryvonne Gerin +13

The nature of turbulence in molecular clouds is one of the key parameters that control star formation efficiency: compressive motions, as opposed to solenoidal motions, can trigger…
