Growth of Massive Molecular Cloud Filament by Accretion Flows. II. New Mechanism to Support a Supercritical Filament against Radial Collapse
Daisei Abe, Tsuyoshi Inoue, Shu-ichiro Inutsuka +1
Observations indicate that dense molecular filamentary clouds are sites of star formation. The filament width determines the most unstable scale for self-gravitational fragmentatio…

Structure and Fragmentation Scale of a Massive Star-Forming Filament in NGC6334: High-Resolution Mid-Infrared Absorption Imaging with JWST
Philippe André, Michael Mattern, Doris Arzoumanian +4
Dense filaments are believed to be representative of the initial conditions of star formation in molecular clouds. We have used the MIRI instrument on JWST to image the massive fil…
