Ruben Fedriani, Jonathan C. Tan, Zoie Telkamp +13
We present m SOFIA-FORCAST images of 11 isolated protostars as part of the SOFIA Massive (SOMA) Star Formation Survey, with this morphological classification based on…
Surveying the Giant HII Regions of the Milky Way with SOFIA: III. W49A
James M. De Buizer, Wanggi Lim, Mengyao Liu +2
We present our third set of results from our mid-infrared imaging survey of Milky Way Giant HII (GHII) regions with our detailed analysis of W49A, one of the most distant, yet most…
The Core Mass Function Across Galactic Environments. III. Massive Protoclusters
Theo J. O'Neill, Giuliana Cosentino, Jonathan C. Tan +2
The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is fundamental for many areas of astrophysics, but its origin remains poorly understood. It may be inherited from the core mass function (CM…
Star Formation in a Strongly Magnetized Cloud
Yu Cheng, Jonathan C. Tan, Paola Caselli +6
We study star formation in the Center Ridge 1 (CR1) clump in the Vela C giant molecular cloud, selected as a high column density region that shows the lowest level of dust continuu…
SiO Outflows as Tracers of Massive Star Formation in Infrared Dark Clouds
Mengyao Liu, Jonathan C. Tan, Joshua Marvil +4
To study the early phases of massive star formation, we present ALMA observations of SiO(5-4) emission and VLA observations of 6 cm continuum emission towards 32 Infrared Dark Clou…
Salt, Hot Water, and Silicon Compounds Tracing Massive Twin Disks
Kei E. I. Tanaka, Yichen Zhang, Tomoya Hirota +9
We report results of 0.05"-resolution observations toward the O-type proto-binary system IRAS 16547-4247 with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). We present dy…
The SOFIA Massive (SOMA) Star Formation Survey. III. From Intermediate- to High-Mass Protostars
Mengyao Liu, Jonathan C. Tan, James M. De Buizer +9
We present m SOFIA-FORCAST images of 14 intermediate-mass protostar candidates as part of the SOFIA Massive (SOMA) Star Formation Survey. We build spectral energy dis…
Gas Kinematics of the Massive Protocluster G286.21+0.17 Revealed by ALMA
Yu Cheng, Jonathan C. Tan, Mengyao Liu +2
We study the gas kinematics and dynamics of the massive protocluster G286.21+0.17 with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array using spectral lines of (2-1), $N_2…
Discovery of a Photoionized Bipolar Outflow towards the Massive Protostar G45.47+0.05
Yichen Zhang, Kei E. I. Tanaka, Viviana Rosero +6
Massive protostars generate strong radiation feedback, which may help set the mass they achieve by the end of the accretion process. Studying such feedback is therefore crucial for…
The High-Mass Protostellar Population of a Massive Infrared Dark Cloud
Emily Moser, Mengyao Liu, Jonathan C. Tan +3
We conduct a census of the high-mass protostellar population of the Infrared Dark Cloud (IRDC) G028.37+00.07, identifying 35 sources based on their m e…
Dynamics of a Massive Binary at Birth
Yichen Zhang, Jonathan C. Tan, Kei E. I. Tanaka +6
Almost all massive stars have bound stellar companions, existing in binaries or higher-order multiples. While binarity is theorized to be an essential feature of how massive stars…
The SOFIA Massive (SOMA) Star Formation Survey. II. High Luminosity Protostars
