ALMA-IMF XXII. Role of core subfragmentation in the IMF origin: Hierarchical fragmentation cascade and CMF in W43-MM1
F. Motte, N. Le Nestour, R. Veyry +29
We aim to predict how the currently observed top-heavy CMF in the massive protocluster W43-MM1 evolves due to core subfragmentation. We used getsf to extract sources in 5 ALMA imag…
ALMA-IMF XVI: Mass-averaged temperature of cores and protostellar luminosities in the ALMA-IMF protoclusters
F. Motte, Y. Pouteau, T. Nony +34
ALMA-IMF imaged 15 massive protoclusters down to a resolution of of 2 kau scales, identifying about 1000 star-forming cores. The mass and luminosity of these cores, which are funda…
ALMA-IMF XV: The core mass function in the high-mass star-formation regime
F. Louvet, P. Sanhueza, A. Stutz +38
The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is critical to our understanding of star formation and the effects of young stars on their environment. On large scales, it enables us to us…
ALMA-IMF XII: Point-process mapping of 15 massive protoclusters
P. Dell'Ova, F. Motte, A. Gusdorf +29
A crucial aspect in addressing the challenge of measuring the core mass function, that is pivotal for comprehending the origin of the initial mass function, lies in constraining th…
ALMA-IMF XI: The sample of hot core candidates A rich population of young high-mass proto-stars unveiled by the emission of methyl formate
M. Bonfand, T. Csengeri, S. Bontemps +28
Sites associated with high-mass star and cluster formation exhibit a so-called hot core phase, characterized by high temperatures and column densities of complex organic molecules.…
ALMA-IMF X -- The core population in the evolved W33-Main (G012.80) protocluster
M. Armante, A. Gusdorf, F. Louvet +21
We aimed to measure the CMF in the evolved W33-Main star-forming protocluster to compare it with CMF recently obtained in other Galactic star-forming regions, including the ones in…
ALMA-IMF. VII. First release of the full spectral line cubes: Core kinematics traced by DCN J=(3-2)
N. Cunningham, A. Ginsburg, R. Galván-Madrid +30
ALMA-IMF is an Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Large Program designed to measure the core mass function (CMF) of 15 protoclusters chosen to span their early evo…
ALMA-IMF. V. Prestellar and protostellar core populations in the W43 cloud complex
T. Nony, R. Galvan-Madrid, F. Motte +24
The origin of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) and its relation with the core mass function (CMF) are actively debated issues with important implications in astrophysics. Re…
ALMA-IMF VI -- Investigating the origin of stellar masses: Core mass function evolution in the W43-MM2&MM3 mini-starburst
Y. Pouteau, F. Motte, T. Nony +35
Among the most central open questions regarding the initial mass function (IMF) of stars is the impact of environment on the shape of the core mass function (CMF) and thus potentia…
ALMA-IMF IV -- A comparative study of the main hot cores in W43-MM1: detection, temperature and molecular composition
N. Brouillet, D. Despois, J. Molet +21
W43-MM1 is a young region, very rich in terms of high-mass star formation. We aim to systematically identify the massive cores which contain a hot core and compare their molecular…
A graph theory-based multi-scale analysis of hierarchical cascade in molecular clouds : Application to the NGC 2264 region
B. Thomasson, I. Joncour, E. Moraux +4
The spatial properties of small star-clusters suggest that they may originate from a fragmentation cascade of the cloud for which there might be traces up to a few dozen of kAU. Ou…
ALMA-IMF III -- Investigating the origin of stellar masses: Top-heavy core mass function in the W43-MM2&MM3 mini-starburst
Y. Pouteau, F. Motte, T. Nony +35
The ALMA-IMF Large Program observed the W43-MM2-MM3 ridge, whose 1.3mm and 3mm ALMA 12m array continuum images reach a 2500au spatial resolution. We used both the best-sensitivity…
ALMA-IMF I -- Investigating the origin of stellar masses: Introduction to the Large Program and first results
F. Motte, S. Bontemps, T. Csengeri +61
The ALMA-IMF Large Program imaged a total noncontiguous area of 53pc2, covering 15 extreme, nearby protoclusters of the Milky Way. They were selected to span relevant early protocl…
ALMA-IMF II -- investigating the origin of stellar masses: Continuum Images and Data Processing
A. Ginsburg, T. Csengeri, R. Galván-Madrid +49
We present the first data release of the ALMA-IMF Large Program, which covers the 12m-array continuum calibration and imaging. The ALMA-IMF Large Program is a survey of fifteen den…
Mass segregation and sequential star formation in NGC 2264 revealed by Herschel
T. Nony, J. -F. Robitaille, F. Motte +16
The mass segregation of stellar clusters could be primordial rather than dynamical. Despite the abundance of studies of mass segregation for stellar clusters, those for stellar pro…

T. Nony, F. Motte, F. Louvet +8
The accretion history of protostars remains widely mysterious even though it represents one of the best ways to understand the protostellar collapse that leads to the formation of…
