Gravity Driven Magnetic Field at ~1000 au Scales in High-mass Star Formation
Patricio Sanhueza, Josep Miquel Girart, Marco Padovani +20
A full understanding of high-mass star formation requires the study of one of the most elusive components of the energy balance in the interstellar medium: magnetic fields. We repo…
The circumestellar disk of the B0 protostar powering the HH 80-81 radio jet
J. M. Girart, R. Estalella, M. Fernández-López +6
We present subarcsecond angular resolution observations carried out with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) at 880 m centered at the B0-type protostar GGD27~MM1, the driving source o…
A correlation between chemistry, polarization and dust properties in the Pipe Nebula starless core FeSt 1-457
Carmen Juárez, Josep M. Girart, Pau Frau +6
Pre-stellar cores within molecular clouds provide the very initial conditions in which stars are formed. We use the IRAM 30m telescope and the PdBI to study the chemical and physic…
Local Magnetic Field Role in Star Formation
Patrick M. Koch, Ya-Wen Tang, Paul T. P. Ho +14
We highlight distinct and systematic observational features of magnetic field morphologies in polarized submm dust continuum. We illustrate this with specific examples and show sta…
The Importance of the Magnetic Field from an SMA-CSO-Combined Sample of Star-Forming Regions
Patrick M. Koch, Ya-Wen Tang, Paul T. P. Ho +14
Submillimeter dust polarization measurements of a sample of 50 star-forming regions, observed with the SMA and the CSO covering pc-scale clouds to mpc-scale cores, are analyzed in…
Magnetic Fields and Massive Star Formation
Qizhou Zhang, Keping Qiu, Josep M. Girart +17
Massive stars ( \msun) typically form in parsec-scale molecular clumps that collapse and fragment, leading to the birth of a cluster of stellar objects. We investigate the r…
DR 21(OH): a highly fragmented, magnetized, turbulent dense core
J. M. Girart, P. Frau, Q. Zhang +5
We present high-angular-resolution observations of the massive star forming core DR21(OH) at 880 mum using the Submillimeter Array (SMA). The dense core exhibits an overall velocit…
Adaptable Radiative Transfer Innovations for Submillimetre Telescopes (ARTIST) - Dust polarisation module (DustPol)
M. Padovani, C. Brinch, J. M. Girart +9
We present a new publicly available tool (DustPol) aimed to model the polarised thermal dust emission. The module DustPol, which is publicly available, is part of the ARTIST (Adapt…
Barnard 59: No Evidence for Further Fragmentation
C. G. Román-Zúñiga, P. Frau, J. M. Girart +1
The dense molecular clump at the center of the Barnard 59 (B59) complex is the only region in the Pipe Nebula that has formed a small,stellar cluster. The previous analysis of a hi…
Chemical Differentiation toward the Pipe Nebula Starless Cores
P. Frau, J. M. Girart, M. T. Beltran
We used the new IRAM 30-m FTS backend to perform an unbiased ~15 GHz wide survey at 3 mm toward the Pipe Nebula young diffuse starless cores. We found an unexpectedly rich chemistr…
Comparing star formation models with interferometric observations of the protostar NGC 1333 IRAS 4A. I. Magnetohydrodynamic collapse models
Pau Frau, Daniele Galli, Josep Miquel Girart
Observations of dust polarized emission toward star forming regions trace the magnetic field component in the plane of the sky and provide constraints to theoretical models of clou…
