Can diffuse X-rays be important in driving photoionisation in molecular clouds?

E. I. Makarenko, A. V. Ivlev, S. Bialy +5

The ionisation balance in molecular clouds is regulated by several ionising sources, including cosmic rays, X-rays, and ultraviolet radiation. Their relative importance depends on…

The 10-15 GHz radio continuum survey of the Galactic Plane with SKAO

A. Traficante, C. Mininni, F. Cavallaro +63

Star formation emerges from the complex interplay between gravity, turbulence, magnetic fields, and stellar feedback, all of which vary across spatial scales and Galactic environme…

Chemical Complexity in the Early Stages of Star Formation in the SKAO Era

Eleonora Bianchi, Mathilde Bouvier, Claudio Codella +44

About 350 molecules have been identified in the interstellar medium (ISM), including complex molecules relevant to prebiotic chemistry. A remarkable level of molecular diversity ha…

Jets and Outflows in Young Stellar Objects with the SKAO

Giovanni Sabatini, Gemma Busquet, Carlos Carrasco-González +48

Jets and outflows are ubiquitous phenomena associated with the formation of young stellar objects (YSOs). They play a crucial role in removing angular momentum from the accreting s…

Early phases of star formation with SKAO: synchrotron emission from dense starless cores in molecular clouds

Andrea Bracco, Tyler L. Bourke, Stefano Bovino +8

Magnetic fields play a central role in the star-formation process, from diffuse gas to the dense, starless, molecular cloud cores that represent the first gravitationally bound str…

Small-scale Magnetic Fields in the Milky Way and Nearby Galaxies

Yik Ki Ma, Amit Seta, Aritra Basu +13

Magnetic fields in galaxies span decades in physical scale, from the coherent magnetic fields on galactic scales (> kpc) to the random magnetic fields from 100 pc to the resistive…

A broadband view of the thermal and non-thermal emission from the embedded massive star cluster RCW 38

Giada Peron, Andrea Bracco, Giovanni Morlino +4

Gamma-ray emission has now been detected from a variety of source classes in the Galaxy, including clusters of young massive stars. RCW 38, a very young embedded massive star clust…

The first detection of cosmic-ray excited H in interstellar space

Shmuel Bialy, Amit Chemke, David A. Neufeld +12

Stars and planets form within cold, dark molecular clouds. In these dense regions, where starlight cannot penetrate, cosmic rays (CRs) are the dominant source of ionization -- driv…

Cosmic-ray ionisation rate in low-mass cores: the role of the environment

E. Redaelli, S. Bovino, G. Sabatini +6

Context: Cosmic rays drive several key processes for the chemistry and dynamical evolution of star-forming regions. Their effect is quantified mainly by means of the cosmic-ray ion…

Impact of cosmic-ray propagation on the chemistry and ionisation fraction of dark clouds

G. Latrille, A. Lupi, S. Bovino +3

A proper modelling of the cosmic-ray ionisation rate within gas clouds is crucial to describe their chemical evolution accurately. However, this modelling is computationally demand…
