Kinematic Distances to Molecular Clouds identified in the Galactic Ring Survey
Julia Roman-Duval, James M. Jackson, Mark Heyer +4
Kinematic distances to 750 molecular clouds identified in the 13CO J=1-0 Boston University-Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory Galactic Ring Survey (BU-FCRAO GRS) are derived…
Dense cores in the Pipe Nebula: An improved core mass function
J. M. Rathborne, C. J. Lada, A. A. Muench +3
In this paper we derive an improved core mass function (CMF) for the Pipe Nebula from a detailed comparison between measurements of visual extinction and molecular-line emission. W…
Molecular clouds and clumps in the Boston University-Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory Galactic Ring Survey
J. M. Rathborne, A. M. Johnson, J. M. Jackson +2
The Boston University-Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory (BU-FCRAO) Galactic Ring Survey (GRS) of 13 CO (1-0) emission covers Galactic longitudes 18 deg < l < 55.7 deg and Ga…
Young stellar clusters and star formation throughout the Galaxy
Eric Feigelson, Fred Adams, Lori Allen +22
Most stars are born in rich young stellar clusters (YSCs) embedded in giant molecular clouds. The most massive stars live out their short lives there, profoundly influencing their…
Fragmentation at the Earliest Phase of Massive Star Formation
Qizhou Zhang, Yang Wang, Thushara Pillai +1
We present 1.3mm continuum and spectral line images of two massive molecular clumps P1 and P2 in the G28.34+0.06 region with the Submillimeter Array. While the two clumps contain m…
On the fidelity of the core mass functions derived from dust column density data
J. Kainulainen, C. J. Lada, J. M. Rathborne +1
Aims: We examine the recoverability and completeness limits of the dense core mass functions (CMFs) derived for a molecular cloud using extinction data and a core identification sc…
