Two-level hierarchical fragmentation in the Orion Molecular Cloud 1 northern filament

P. S. Teixeira, S. Takahashi, L. A. Zapata +1

[Abridged] We have recently reported on the collapse and fragmentation properties of the northernmost part of this structure, located ~2.4pc north of Orion KL -- the Orion Molecula…

Local Magnetic Field Role in Star Formation

Patrick M. Koch, Ya-Wen Tang, Paul T. P. Ho +14

We highlight distinct and systematic observational features of magnetic field morphologies in polarized submm dust continuum. We illustrate this with specific examples and show sta…

First-generation Science Cases for Ground-based Terahertz Telescopes

Hiroyuki Hirashita, Patrick M. Koch, Satoki Matsushita +33

Ground-based observations at terahertz (THz) frequencies are a newly explorable area of astronomy for the next ten years. We discuss science cases for a first-generation 10-m class…

The connecting molecular ridge in the Galactic center

Pei-Ying Hsieh, Paul T. P. Ho, Chorng-Yuan Hwang

We report new observations of multiple transitions of the CS molecular lines in the SgrA region of the Galactic center, at an angular resolution of 40" (=1.5 pc). The objective of…

Jet Motion, Internal Working Surfaces, and Nested Shells in the Protostellar System HH 212

Chin-Fei Lee, Naomi Hirano, Qizhou Zhang +3

HH 212 is a nearby (400 pc) highly collimated protostellar jet powered by a Class 0 source in Orion. We have mapped the inner 80" (~ 0.16 pc) of the jet in SiO (J=8-7) and CO (J=3-…
