Head-tail molecular clouds falling onto the Milky Way disk
Mikito Kohno, Yasuo Fukui, Takahiro Hayakawa +13
We report discovery of two CO clouds which are likely falling down to the Galactic plane at more than km s. The clouds show head-tail distributions elongated perpendicu…
Spatially and Dynamically Extended Molecular Gas in Stephan's Quintet Revealed by ALMA CO(1-0) Total Power Mapping
Fumiya Maeda, Shinya Komugi, Kazuyuki Muraoka +15
We present ALMA Total Power CO(1-0) mapping of Stephan's Quintet (SQ), a prototypical compact galaxy group, with a uniform noise level at a spatial scale of ~25 kpc. These observat…
Galactic structure dependence of cloud-cloud collisions driven star formation in the barred galaxy NGC 3627
Fumiya Maeda, Kouji Ohta, Fumi Egusa +4
While cloud-cloud collisions (CCCs) have been proposed as a mechanism for triggering massive star formation, it is suggested that higher collision velocities () and lo…
Impulsive Gas Fueling to Galactic Center in a Barred Galaxy Due to Falls of Gas Clouds
Hidenori Matsui, Toshiyasu Masakawa, Asao Habe +1
We have studied the evolution of the central hundred pc region of barred galaxies by performing numerical simulations realizing multi-phase nature of gas. Our simulations have show…
Cloud-cloud collisions triggering star formation in galaxy simulations
Shu Horie, Takashi Okamoto, Asao Habe
Cloud-cloud collisions (CCCs) are expected to compress gas and trigger star formation. However, it is not well understood how the collisions and the induced star formation affect g…
Statistical Study of the Star Formation Efficiency in Bars: Is Star Formation Suppressed in Gas-Rich Bars?
Fumiya Maeda, Fumi Egusa, Kouji Ohta +2
The dependence of star formation efficiency (SFE) on galactic structures, especially whether the SFE in the bar region is lower than those in the other regions, has recently been d…
