Molecule-dependent Abundance Behavior of Oxygen-bearing Complex Organics in High-Mass Star-Forming Regions: A Uniform 50-source Survey
Xuefang Xu, Mingwei He, Qian Gou +10
We present a uniform IRAM-30\,m survey analysis of four oxygen-bearing complex organic molecules (COMs), methanol (CHOH), acetaldehyde (CHCHO), methyl formate (CHOCHO),…
Insights into the Physical Nature of Polar Ring Galaxies from H I Observations
Niankun Yu, Han Zheng, Chao-Wei Tsai +10
Polar ring galaxies (PRGs) host an outer ring of gas and stars oriented nearly perpendicular to the main stellar body. They represent extreme examples of misaligned systems and pro…
Deep Andromeda JCMT-SCUBA2 Observations. The Submillimeter Maps and Giant Molecular Clouds
Sihan Jiao, Jingwen Wu, Hauyu Baobab Liu +23
We have carried out unprecedentedly deep, nearly confusion-limited JCMT-SCUBA2 mapping observations on the nearest spiral galaxy, M31 (Andromeda). The 850 m image with a …
Dense gas properties and star formation in M 82
Fei Li, Zhi-Yu Zhang, Junzhi Wang +1
High-density molecular gas plays a vital role in supporting star formation within galaxies. However, traditional tracers of dense gas, such as the low- transitions of HCN and HC…
Dense Molecular Ring-like structure in gaseous CO depletion region G34.74-0.12
Shuting Lin, Siyi Feng, Fengwei Xu +14
We report the discovery of a dense molecular ring-like structure in a dense (10 cm), cold (pc-scale CO depletion at a factor of 5), and young (10 year) star-forming…
The ALMA Survey of 70 m Dark High-mass Clumps in Early Stages (ASHES). XII. Unanchored Forked Stream in the Propagating Path of a Protostellar Outflow
Shuting Lin, Siyi Feng, Patricio Sanhueza +14
Outflows are key indicators of ongoing star formation. We report the discovery of an unanchored forked stream within the propagating path of an extremely young protostellar outflow…
