PMO Polaris CO survey. II. Where is the dust?
Xunchuan Liu, Bing Gang Ju, Fujun Du +10
Dust plays critical chemical and dynamical roles in the interstellar medium (ISM), but its specific association with molecular and atomic gas remains difficult to isolate. Combinin…
PMO Polaris CO survey. I. A 100 deg view of the Polaris Flare
Xunchuan Liu, Bing-Gang Ju, Fujun Du +10
Large-area CO surveys are essential for studying molecular cloud dynamics and evolution; however, most have focused on the Galactic plane, leaving high-latitude clouds less explore…
The ALMA-QUARKS Survey: Discovery of Superfine Dusty Fibrils inside Massive Star-forming Clumps
Yan-Kun Zhang, Tie Liu, Wenyu Jiao +35
We report the discovery of more than 320 superfine dusty filamentary structures (fibrils) inside 121 massive star forming clumps that are located in widely different Galactic envir…
ATOMS: ALMA Three-millimeter Observations of Massive Star-forming regions -- XV. Steady Accretion from Global Collapse to Core Feeding in Massive Hub-filament System SDC335
Feng-Wei Xu, Ke Wang, Tie Liu +37
We present ALMA Band-3/7 observations towards "the Heart" of a massive hub-filament system (HFS) SDC335, to investigate its fragmentation and accretion. At a resolution of $\sim0.0…
Formation of hub-filament structure triggered by cloud-cloud collision in W33 complex
Jian-Wen Zhou, Shanghuo Li, Hong-Li Liu +6
Hub-filament systems are suggested to be birth cradles of high-mass stars and clusters, but the formation of hub-filament structure is still unclear. Using the survey data FUGIN $^…
A Q-band line survey towards Orion KL using the Tianma radio telescope
Xunchuan Liu, Tie Liu, Zhiqiang Shen +28
We have conducted a line survey towards Orion KL using the Q-band receiver of Tianma 65 m radio telescope (TMRT), covering 34.8--50 GHz with a velocity resolution between 0.79 km s…
ATOMS: ALMA Three-millimeter Observations of Massive Star-forming regions -- XI. From inflow to infall in hub-filament systems
Jian-Wen Zhou, Tie Liu, Neal J. Evans +37
We investigate the presence of hub-filament systems in a large sample of 146 active proto-clusters, using HCO J=1-0 molecular line data obtained from the ATOMS survey.…
ATOMS: ALMA Three-millimeter Observations of Massive Star-forming regions -- VIII. A search for hot cores by using CHCN, CHOCHO and CHOH lines
Sheng-Li Qin, Tie Liu, Xunchuan Liu +29
Hot cores characterized by rich lines of complex organic molecules are considered as ideal sites for investigating the physical and chemical environments of massive star formation.…
A FAST Survey of HINSA in PGCCs Guided by HC3N
Xunchuan Liu, Yuefang Wu, Chao Zhang +11
Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), we search for HI narrow-line self-absorption (HINSA) features in twelve Planck Galactic cold clumps (PGCCs),…
ATOMS: ALMA Three-millimeter Observations of Massive Star-forming regions -- V. Hierarchical fragmentation and gas dynamics in IRDC G034.43+00.24

We present new 3-mm continuum and molecular lines observations from the ATOMS survey towards the massive protostellar clump, MM1, located in the filamentary infrared dark cloud (IR…
ATOMS: ALMA Three-millimeter Observations of Massive Star-forming regions -- VI. On the formation of the "L" type filament in G286.21+0.17
Jian-Wen Zhou, Tie Liu, Jin-Zeng Li +16
Filaments play an important role in star formation, but the formation process of filaments themselves is still unclear. The high-mass star forming clump G286.21+0.17 (G286 for shor…
Planck Galactic Cold Clumps at High Galactic Latitude-A Study with CO Lines
Fengwei Xu, Yuefang Wu, Tie Liu +28
Gas at high Galactic latitude is a relatively little-noticed component of the interstellar medium. In an effort to address this, forty-one Planck Galactic Cold Clumps at high Galac…
