Magnetic Fields in Massive Star-forming Regions (MagMaR). V. The Magnetic Field at the Onset of High-mass Star Formation
Patricio Sanhueza, Junhao Liu, Kaho Morii +36
A complete understanding of the initial conditions of high-mass star formation and what processes determine multiplicity require the study of the magnetic field (B-field) in young,…
ATOMS: ALMA Three-millimeter Observations of Massive Star-forming regions -- XIX. The origin of SiO emission
Rong Liu, Tie Liu, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra +23
The production of silicon monoxide (SiO) can be considered as a fingerprint of shock interaction. In this work, we use high-sensitivity observations of the SiO (2-1) and HCO…
ATOMS: ALMA three-millimeter observations of massive star-forming regions -- XVIII. On the origin and evolution of dense gas fragments in molecular shells of compact HII regions
Siju Zhang, Tie Liu, Ke Wang +16
Fragmentation and evolution for the molecular shells of the compact HII regions are less explored compared to their evolved counterparts. We map nine compact HII regions with a typ…
The ALMA-QUARKS Survey: Fibers' role in star formation unveiled in an intermediate-mass protocluster region of the Vela D cloud
Dongting Yang, HongLi Liu, Tie Liu +32
In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of the IRS 17 filament within the intermediate-mass protocluster IRAS 08448-4343 (of ), using ALMA data fro…
A survey of sulfur-bearing molecular lines toward the dense cores in eleven massive protoclusters
Mengyao Tang, Sheng-Li Qin, Tie Liu +6
Sulfur-bearing molecules are commonly detected in dense cores within star-forming regions, but the total sulfur budget is significantly low, when compared to the interstellar mediu…
Correlations of Methyl Formate (CH3OCHO), Dimethyl Ether (CH3OCH3) and Ketene (H2CCO) in High-mass Star-forming Regions
Chuanshou Li, Sheng-Li Qin, Tie Liu +10
We present high-spatial-resolution (0.7 to 1.0 arcsec) submillimeter observations of continuum and molecular lines of CH3OCHO, CH3OCH3, and H2CCO toward 11 high-mass star-forming r…
The Formation of Milky Way "Bones": Ubiquitous HI Narrow Self-Absorption Associated with CO Emission
Shenglan Sun, Ke Wang, Xunchuan Liu +1
Long and skinny molecular filaments running along Galactic spiral arms are known as "bones", since they make up the skeleton of the Milky Way. However, their origin is still an ope…
Magnetic Fields in Massive Star-forming Regions (MagMaR) IV: Tracing the Magnetic Fields in the O-type protostellar system IRAS 165474247
Luis A. Zapata, Manuel Fernández-López, Patricio Sanhueza +24
The formation of the massive stars, and in particular, the role that the magnetic fields play in their early evolutionary phase is still far from being completely understood. Here,…
Absence of High-mass Prestellar Cores in the Orion Giant Molecular Cloud
Wenyu Jiao, Ke Wang, Fengwei Xu
A fundamental difference between "core-fed" and "clump-fed" star formation theories lies in the existence or absence of high-mass cores at the prestellar stage. However, only a han…
Magnetic Fields in Massive Star-forming Regions (MagMaR): Unveiling an Hourglass Magnetic Field in G333.46-0.16 using ALMA
Piyali Saha, Patricio Sanhueza, Marco Padovani +33
The contribution of the magnetic field to the formation of high-mass stars is poorly understood. We report the high-angular resolution (, 870 au) map of the…
Direct observational evidence of multi-epoch massive star formation in G24.47+0.49
Anindya Saha, Anandmayee Tej, Hong-Li Liu +19
Using new continuum and molecular line data from the ALMA Three-millimeter Observations of Massive Star-forming Regions (ATOMS) survey and archival VLA, 4.86 GHz data, we present d…
A broad linewidth, compact, millimeter-bright molecular emission line source near the Galactic Center
Adam Ginsburg, John Bally, Ashley T. Barnes +37
A compact source, G0.02467-0.0727, was detected in ALMA \threemm observations in continuum and very broad line emission. The continuum emission has a spectral index ,…
The ALMA-QUARKS Survey: II. the ACA 1.3 mm continuum source catalog and the assembly of dense gas in massive star-forming clumps
Fengwei Xu, Ke Wang, Tie Liu +30
Leveraging the high resolution, high sensitivity, and wide frequency coverage of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), the QUARKS survey, standing for "Querying…
Benchmarking the IRDC G351.77-0.53: Gaia DR3 distance, mass distribution, and star formation content
S. D. Reyes-Reyes, A. M. Stutz, S. T. Megeath +4
While intensively studied, it remains unclear how the star formation (SF) in Infrared Dark Clouds (IRDCs) compares to that of nearby clouds. We study G351.77-0.53 (henceforth G351)…
On the Scarcity of Dense Cores ( cm) in High Latitude Planck Galactic Cold Clumps
Fengwei Xu, Ke Wang, Tie Liu +34
High-latitude () molecular clouds have virial parameters that exceed 1, but whether these clouds can form stars has not been studied systematically. Using JCMT SCUB…
The ALMA-QUARKS survey: Detection of two extremely dense substructures in a massive prestellar core
Xiaofeng Mai, Tie Liu, Xunchuan Liu +32
Only a handful of massive starless core candidates have been discovered so far, but none of them have been fully confirmed. Within the MM1 clump in the filamentary infrared dark cl…
