Characterising magnetic fields at the onset of star cluster formation: From giant molecular clouds to infrared dark clumps
Ria Ramkumar, Nicolas Peretto, Gary A. Fuller +2
The role of magnetic fields in the observed inefficiency of star formation in Galactic molecular clouds is a widely debated topic, with the past decade seeing an explosion of obser…
Magnetic Fields in Massive Star-forming Regions (MagMaR). VII. On the dynamical importance of B-fields in massive protocluster W33 A
Fengwei Xu, Q. Zhang, P. Sanhueza +30
Magnetic fields (B-fields) are likely important in massive protocluster formation, but their role remains poorly constrained. We present 1.2 mm ALMA full-polarization observations…
Multi-Scale Magnetic Field Observations Reveal how Colliding Flows Trigger Star Formation
Jia-Wei Wang, Patrick M. Koch, Hauyu Baobab Liu +4
Magnetic fields play a crucial yet complex role in star formation, while their connection between large-scale filamentary clouds and small-scale young stellar objects remains poorl…
Systematic underestimation of polarisation angle dispersion and its consequences for magnetic field strength estimates in star-forming regions
Seamus D. Clarke, Ya-Wen Tang, Patrick M. Koch +2
Polarised dust emission observations are a valuable tool to infer the structure of the magnetic field and the dispersion of polarisation position angles may be used to estimate mag…
The dominance of turbulence over magnetism in the formation of massive star cluster seeds
Junhao Liu, Patricio Sanhueza, Piyali Saha +32
High-mass stars form in protoclusters, where gravo-magnetic processes shape collapsing clouds and clumps to be elongated preferentially perpendicular to magnetic (B) fields. Yet it…
Magnetic threads and gravity: ALMA Observations of IRDC G14.225-0.506
Nacho Añez-López, Gemma Busquet, Josep Miquel Girart +14
During the star formation process, the interplay between gravity, turbulence, and B-fields is significant, with B-fields apparently serving a regulatory function. However, the exte…
