The Keplerian disk, envelope, and streamers surrounding an early O-type protostar in the Sagittarius C cloud of the Central Molecular Zone

Jixiang Weng, Xing Lu, Yu Cheng +22

Disk-mediated accretion is central to theories of massive star formation, setting the initial conditions for their evolution. Yet observations of Keplerian disks around early O-typ…

Subclustering and Star Formation Efficiency in Three Protoclusters in the Central Molecular Zone

Suinan Zhang, Xing Lu, Adam Ginsburg +21

We present so far the highest resolution (0.04") ALMA 1.3 mm continuum observations of three massive star-forming clumps in the Central Molecular Zone, namely 20 km s…

ALMA Observations of Massive Clouds in the Central Molecular Zone: External-Pressure-Confined Dense Cores and Salpeter-like Core Mass Functions

Zhenying Zhang, Xing Lu, Tie Liu +25

We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Band 6 (1.3 mm) observations of dense cores in three massive molecular clouds within the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ)…

Propionamide (C2H5CONH2): The largest peptide-like molecule in space

Juan Li, Junzhi Wang, Xing Lu +16

Peptide bonds, as the molecular bridges that connect amino acids, are crucial to the formation of proteins. Searches and studies of molecules with embedded peptide-like bonds are t…

Star Formation Rates of Massive Molecular Clouds in the Central Molecular Zone

Xing Lu, Qizhou Zhang, Jens Kauffmann +8

We investigate star formation at very early evolutionary phases in five massive clouds in the inner 500 pc of the Galaxy, the Central Molecular Zone. Using interferometer observati…
