G337.342-0.119 (the "Pebble"): A Cold, Dense, High-Mass Molecular Cloud with Unusually Large Linewidths and a Candidate High-Mass Star Cluster Progenitor
James M. Jackson, Yanett Contreras, Jill M. Rathborne +7
Exactly how high-mass star clusters form, especially the young massive clusters (YMCs: age Myr; mass solar masses), remains an open problem, largely because they are…
Asymmetric Line Profiles in Dense Molecular Clumps Observed in MALT90: Evidence for Global Collapse
James M. Jackson, J. Scott Whitaker, J. M. Rathborne +6
Using molecular line data from the Millimetre Astronomy Legacy Team 90 GHz Survey (MALT90), we have searched the optically thick \hcop\, line for the "blue asymmetry" spectroscopic…
The Radio Ammonia Mid-Plane Survey (RAMPS) Pilot Survey
Taylor Hogge, James Jackson, Ian Stephens +11
The Radio Ammonia Mid-Plane Survey (RAMPS) is a molecular line survey that aims to map a portion of the Galactic midplane in the first quadrant of the Galaxy (l = 10 deg - 40 deg,…
Infall Signatures in a Prestellar Core embedded in the High-Mass 70 m Dark IRDC G331.372-00.116
Yanett Contreras, Patricio Sanhueza, James M. Jackson +14
Using Galactic Plane surveys, we have selected a massive (1200 M), cold (14 K) 3.6-70 m dark IRDC G331.372-00.116. This IRDC has the potential to form high-mass stars an…
Dense molecular gas at 12 mm towards Galactic TeV gamma-ray sources
P. de Wilt, G. Rowell, A. J. Walsh +5
The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) has revealed many TeV (10 12 eV) gamma-ray sources along the Galactic Plane and around 30 percent of these sources remain unidentifie…
Characterizing the properties of cluster precursors in the MALT90 survey
Yanett Contreras, Jill M. Rathborne, Andres Guzman +4
In the Milky Way there are thousands of stellar clusters each harboring from a hundred to a million stars. Although clusters are common, the initial conditions of cluster formation…
