Are massive dense clumps truly sub-virial? A new analysis using Gould Belt ammonia data
Ayushi Singh, Christopher D. Matzner, Rachel K. Friesen +21
Dynamical studies of dense structures within molecular clouds often conclude that the most massive clumps contain too little kinetic energy for virial equilibrium, unless they are…
The Core Mass Function in the Orion Nebula Cluster Region: What Determines the Final Stellar Masses?
Hideaki Takemura, Fumitaka Nakamura, Shuo Kong +29
Applying dendrogram analysis to the CARMA-NRO CO (=1--0) data having an angular resolution of 8", we identified 692 dense cores in the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) r…
Turbulence, Coherence and Collapse: Three Phases for Core Evolution
Stella S. R. Offner, Josh Taylor, Carleen Markey +6
We study the formation, evolution and collapse of dense cores by tracking structures in a magnetohydrodynamic simulation of a star-forming cloud. We identify cores using the dendro…
The highly variable time evolution of star-forming cores identified with dendrograms
Rachel A. Smullen, Kaitlin M. Kratter, Stella S. R. Offner +2
We investigate the time evolution of dense cores identified in molecular cloud simulations using dendrograms, which are a common tool to identify hierarchical structure in simulati…
Relative Alignment between Dense Molecular Cores and Ambient Magnetic Field: The Synergy of Numerical Models and Observations
Che-Yu Chen, Erica A. Behrens, Jasmin E. Washington +26
The role played by magnetic field during star formation is an important topic in astrophysics. We investigate the correlation between the orientation of star-forming cores (as defi…
Investigating the Complex Velocity Structures within Dense Molecular Cloud Cores with GBT-Argus
Che-Yu Chen, Shaye Storm, Zhi-Yun Li +12
We present the first results of high-spectral resolution (0.023 km/s) NH observations of dense gas dynamics at core scales (~0.01 pc) using the recently commissioned Argus…
