Magnetic Fields in Massive Star-forming Regions (MagMaR). V. The Magnetic Field at the Onset of High-mass Star Formation

Patricio Sanhueza, Junhao Liu, Kaho Morii +36

A complete understanding of the initial conditions of high-mass star formation and what processes determine multiplicity require the study of the magnetic field (B-field) in young,…

Electron density distribution in HII regions in IC10

F. L. Polles, D. Fadda, W. D. Vacca +7

We present the [OIII]52μm map of the dwarf galaxy IC10, obtained with the Field-Imaging Far-Infrared Line Spectrometer (FIFI-LS) on board the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared…

Young massive star cluster formation in the Galactic Centre is driven by global gravitational collapse of high-mass molecular clouds

A. T. Barnes, S. N. Longmore, A. Avison +19

Young massive clusters (YMCs) are the most compact, high-mass stellar systems still forming at the present day. The precursor clouds to such systems are, however, rare due to their…

A cluster in the making: ALMA reveals the initial conditions for high-mass cluster formation

J. M. Rathborne, S. N. Longmore, J. M. Jackson +9

G0.253+0.016 is a molecular clump that appears to be on the verge of forming a high mass, Arches-like cluster. Here we present new ALMA observations of its small-scale (~0.07 pc) 3…

Absorption Filaments Towards the Massive Clump G0.253+0.016

John Bally, J. M. Rathborne, S. N. Longmore +11

ALMA HCO+ observations of the infrared dark cloud G0.253+0.016 located in the Central Molecular Zone of the Galaxy are presented. The 89 GHz emission is area-filling, optically thi…

Turbulence sets the initial conditions for star formation in high-pressure environments

J. M. Rathborne, S. N. Longmore, J. M. Jackson +9

Despite the simplicity of theoretical models of supersonically turbulent, isothermal media, their predictions successfully match the observed gas structure and star formation activ…

G0.253+0.016: A centrally condensed, high-mass protocluster

J. M. Rathborne, S. N. Longmore, J. M. Jackson +9

Despite their importance as stellar nurseries and the building blocks of galaxies, very little is known about the formation of the highest mass clusters. The dense clump G0.253+0.0…
