Discovery of the Youngest Molecular Outflow associated with an Intermediate-mass protostellar Core, MMS-6/OMC-3
Satoko Takahashi, Paul Ho
We present sub-arcsecond resolution HCN (4-3) and CO (3-2) observations made with the Submillimeter Array (SMA), toward an extremely young intermediate-mass protostellar core, MMS…
Star Formation Rates in Molecular Clouds and the Nature of the Extragalactic Scaling Relations
Charles J. Lada, Jan Forbrich, Marco Lombardi +1
In this paper we investigate scaling relations between star formation rates and molecular gas masses for both local Galactic clouds and a sample of external galaxies. We specifical…
Light echoes reveal an unexpectedly cool Eta Carinae during its 19th-century Great Eruption
A. Rest, J. L. Prieto, N. R. Walborn +14
Eta Carinae (Eta Car) is one of the most massive binary stars in the Milky Way. It became the second-brightest star in the sky during its mid-19th century "Great Eruption," but the…
Protostellar Outflow Heating in a Growing Massive Protocluster
Ke Wang, Qizhou Zhang, Yuefang Wu +2
The dense molecular clump P1 in the infrared dark cloud (IRDC) complex G28.34+0.06 harbors a massive protostellar cluster at its extreme youth. Our previous Submillimeter Array (SM…
Surviving the hole I: Spatially resolved chemistry around Sgr A*
S. Martín, J. Martín-Pintado, M. Montero-Castaño +2
The interstellar region within the few central parsecs around the super-massive black hole, Sgr A* at the very Galactic center is composed by a number of overlapping molecular stru…
Disruption of a Proto-Planetary Disk by the Black Hole at the Milky Way Centre
Ruth A. Murray-Clay, Abraham Loeb
Recently, an ionized cloud of gas was discovered plunging toward the supermassive black hole, SgrA*, at the centre of the Milky Way. The cloud is being tidally disrupted along its…
Periodic Signals in Binary Microlensing Events
Xinyi Guo, Ann Esin, Rosanne Di Stefano +1
Gravitational microlensing events are powerful tools for the study of stellar populations. In particular, they can be used to discover and study a variety of binary systems. A larg…
Interferometric CO(3-2) Observations toward the Central Region of NGC 1068
Mengchun Tsai, Chorng-Yuan Hwang, Satoki Matsushita +2
We present CO(3-2) interferometric observations of the central region of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068 using the Submillimeter Array, together with CO(1-0) data taken with the Owen…
Milky Way Tomography IV: Dissecting Dust
Michael Berry, Željko Ivezić, Branimir Sesar +28
We use SDSS photometry of 73 million stars to simultaneously obtain best-fit main-sequence stellar energy distribution (SED) and amount of dust extinction along the line of sight t…
The SEDs of Interacting Galaxies
Lauranne Lanz, Nicola Brassington, Andreas Zezas +8
The evolution of galaxies is greatly influenced by their interactions. As part of a program to study interacting galaxies, we have measured and modeled the spectral energy distri-…
Initial conditions for star formation in clusters: physical and kinematical structure of the starless core Oph A-N6
Tyler L. Bourke, Philip C. Myers, Paola Caselli +4
We present high spatial (<300 AU) and spectral (0.07 km/s) resolution Submillimeter Array observations of the dense starless cluster core Oph A-N6, in the 1 mm dust continuum and t…
Recent star formation in the inner Galactic Bulge seen by ISOGAL II -- The Central Molecular Zone
K. Immer, F. Schuller, A. Omont +1
We present 5--38 m spectroscopic observations of a sample of 68 ISOGAL sources with unknown natures, taken with the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph. Based on the characteristics a…
G0.253+0.016: a molecular cloud progenitor of an Arches-like cluster
Steven N. Longmore, Jill Rathborne, Nate Bastian +20
Young massive clusters (YMCs) with stellar masses of 10^4 - 10^5 Msun and core stellar densities of 10^4 - 10^5 stars per cubic pc are thought to be the `missing link' between open…
Clustered star formation and outflows in AFGL 2591
A. Sanna, M. J. Reid, C. Carrasco-Gonzàlez +4
We report on a detailed study of the water maser kinematics and radio continuum emission toward the most massive and young object in the star-forming region AFGL 2591. Our analysis…
Parallaxes and proper motions of interstellar masers toward the Cygnus X star-forming complex. I. Membership of the Cygnus X region
K. L. J. Rygl, A. Brunthaler, A. Sanna +6
Whether the Cygnus X complex consists of one physically connected region of star formation or of multiple independent regions projected close together on the sky has been debated f…
An improved map of the Galactic Faraday sky
N. Oppermann, H. Junklewitz, G. Robbers +28
We aim to summarize the current state of knowledge regarding Galactic Faraday rotation in an all-sky map of the Galactic Faraday depth. For this we have assembled the most extensiv…
The effects of snowlines on C/O in planetary atmospheres
Karin I. Oberg, Ruth Murray-Clay, Edwin A. Bergin
The C/O ratio is predicted to regulate the atmospheric chemistry in hot Jupiters. Recent observations suggest that some exo-planets, e.g. Wasp 12- b, have atmospheric C/O ratios su…
Trigonometric Parallaxes of Massive Star-Forming Regions. IX. The Outer Arm in the First Quadrant
A. Sanna, M. J. Reid, T. M. Dame +5
We report a trigonometric parallax measurement with the Very Long Baseline Array for the water maser in the distant high-mass star-forming region G75.30+1.32. This source has a hel…
Toward a Unification of Star Formation Rate Determinations in the Milky Way and Other Galaxies
Laura Chomiuk, Matthew S. Povich
The star formation rate (SFR) of the Milky Way remains poorly known, with often-quoted values ranging from 1 to 10 solar masses per year. This situation persists despite the potent…
