Core mass function in view of fractal and turbulent filaments and fibers
Xunchuan Liu, Tie Liu, Xiaofeng Mai +5
We propose that the core mass function (CMF) can be driven by filament fragmentation. To model a star-forming system of filaments and fibers, we develop a fractal and turbulent tre…

ALMA Observations of Massive Clouds in the Central Molecular Zone: External-Pressure-Confined Dense Cores and Salpeter-like Core Mass Functions
Zhenying Zhang, Xing Lu, Tie Liu +25
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Band 6 (1.3 mm) observations of dense cores in three massive molecular clouds within the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ)…

The magnetic field in quiescent star-forming filament G16.96+0.27
Qi-Lao Gu, Tie Liu, Zhi-Qiang Shen +20
We present 850 μm thermal dust polarization observations with a resolution of 14.4"(~ 0.13 pc) towards an infrared dark cloud G16.96+0.27 using JCMT/POL-2. The average magnetic fi…
