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…
Challenges in probing turbulent and magnetic support in cores: the W43-MM1 protocluster case study
M. Valeille-Manet, F. Louvet, F. Motte +13
Estimating the level of non-thermal support in cores is both challenging and crucial for constraining the earliest stages of star formation. We quantify the kinetic and magnetic su…
Virial-based extraction of structures in numerical simulations: The vibes tool
Simon Chevalier, Fabien Louvet, Yann Bernard +9
The processes that determine the stellar initial mass function (IMF) and its connection to the core mass function (CMF) are among the major open questions in star formation. The de…
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…
ALMA-IMF. XXI.: NH kinematics in the G012.80 protocluster: Evidence for filament rotation and evolution
J. Salinas, A. M. Stutz, R. H. Ãlvarez-Gutiérrez +20
(abridged) We aim to characterize kinematic processes in the G012.80 protocluster. We principally focus on the NH(10) emission to trace the dense and cold gas. Additiona…
S2D2: Small-scale Significant substructure DBSCAN Detection II. Tracing episodes and gradients of star formation activity
Marta González, Isabelle Joncour, Estelle Moraux +5
We provide the community with a homogeneous catalogue of small, significant substructures (henceforth NESTs) extracted from the spatial distribution of Young Stellar Objects (YSOs)…
