An ALMA view of the Jet-Arc CO clouds toward the TeV -ray source HESS J1023-575 and Westerlund 2; Evidence for the footprints of microquasar jets, the very powerful cosmic-ray accelerator in the Galactic disk
Yasuo Fukui, Kisetsu Tsuge, Hidetoshi Sano +7
The TeV -ray source HESS J1023-575 (HESSJ 1023 hereafter) is one of the brightest H.E.S.S. sources near the young massive cluster Westerlund 2. HESS J1023 shows a remarkable pos…
Discovery of CO Clouds Associated with the X-ray Jets of SS 433: Evidence for Shock-Cloud Interaction Enhancing Nonthermal X-ray Emission
Haruka Sakemi, Hidetoshi Sano, Yasuo Fukui +7
We report the first identification of molecular clumps directly associated with the re-brightening regions of the large-scale X-ray jets of SS 433, based on CO ( = 1--0)…
A multi-scale molecular and atomic gas view on the HII region N113 in the Large Magellanic Cloud:Evidence for high-mass star formation triggered by supersonically-colliding HI flows
Rin I. Yamada, Kazuki Tokuda, Yasuo Fukui +15
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) exhibits vigorous high-mass star formation, including the HII regions 30~Dor that is the most active site of star formation in the local group. The…
ALMA Band 9 CO(6--5) Reveals a Warm Ring Structure Associated with the Embedded Protostar in the Cold Dense Core MC 27/L1521F
Kazuki Tokuda, Mitsuki Omura, Naoto Harada +9
Infall and outflows, coupled with magnetic fields, rapidly structure the gas around newborn protostars. Shocks from interacting components encode the temperature and density distri…
Head-tail molecular clouds falling onto the Milky Way disk
Mikito Kohno, Yasuo Fukui, Takahiro Hayakawa +13
We report discovery of two CO clouds which are likely falling down to the Galactic plane at more than km s. The clouds show head-tail distributions elongated perpendicu…
A catalog of molecular clouds possibly associated with Galactic infrared bubbles I. The Southern Galactic plane
Mikito Kohno, Yoshiaki Sofue, Yasuo Fukui +1
We have carried out a morphological search for molecular clouds possibly associated with 48 Galactic infrared bubbles with angular radii of in the southern Galactic plane of…
ALMA 0.1 pc View of Molecular Clouds Associated with High-Mass Protostellar Systems in the Small Magellanic Cloud: Are Low-Metallicity Clouds Filamentary or Not?
Kazuki Tokuda, Yuri Kunitoshi, Sarolta Zahorecz +13
Filamentary molecular clouds are an essential intermediate stage in the star formation process. To test whether these structures are universal throughout cosmic star formation hist…
ACA CO(J=2-1) Mapping of the Nearest Spiral Galaxy M33. II. Exploring the Evolution of Giant Molecular Clouds
Ayu Konishi, Kazuyuki Muraoka, Kazuki Tokuda +12
The evolution of giant molecular clouds (GMCs), the main sites of high-mass star formation, is an essential process to unravel the galaxy evolution. Using a GMC catalogue of M33 fr…
The Impact of Stellar Radiative Feedback on Formation of Young Massive Clusters via Fast HI Gas Collisions
Ryunosuke Maeda, Tsuyoshi Inoue, Kazuyuki Omukai +2
Young massive clusters (YMCs) are dense aggregates of young stars and are often speculated as potential precursors to globular clusters. However, the formation mechanism of massive…
Giant molecular clouds and their Type classification in M74: Toward understanding star formation and cloud evolution
F. Demachi, Y. Fukui, R. I. Yamada +10
We investigated the giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in M74 (NGC 628), using data obtained from the PHANGS project. We applied the GMC Types according to the activity of star formatio…
Kinetic temperature of massive star-forming molecular clumps measured with formaldehyde IV. The ALMA view of N113 and N159W in the LMC
X. D. Tang, C. Henkel, K. M. Menten +25
We mapped the kinetic temperature structure of two massive star-forming regions, N113 and N159W, in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We have used 1\hbox{$\,.\!\!^{\prime\pri…
A Kinematic Analysis of the Giant Molecular Complex W3; Possible Evidence for Cloud-Cloud Collisions that Triggered OB Star Clusters in W3 Main and W3(OH)
R. I. Yamada, H. Sano, K. Tachihara +6
W3 is one of the most outstanding regions of high-mass star formation in the outer solar circle, including two active star-forming clouds, W3 Main and W3(OH). Based on a new analys…
