The Molecular Outflows in the rho Ophiuchi Main Cloud: Implications For Turbulence Generation
Fumitaka Nakamura, Yuhei Kamada, Takeshi Kamazaki +13
We present the results of CO (J=3-2) and CO (J=1-0) mapping observations toward the active cluster forming clump, L1688, in the rho Ophiuchi molecular cloud. From the CO (J=3-2) an…
Theory of Cluster Formation: Effects of Magnetic Fields
Fumitaka Nakamura, Zhi-Yun Li
Stars form predominantly in clusters inside dense clumps of molecular clouds that are both turbulent and magnetized. The typical size and mass of the cluster-forming clumps are $\s…
Lowering the Characteristic Mass of Cluster Stars by Magnetic Fields and Outflow Feedback
Zhi-Yun Li, Peng Wang, Tom Abel +1
Magnetic fields are generally expected to increase the characteristic mass of stars formed in stellar clusters, because they tend to increase the effective Jeans mass. We test this…
Near-Infrared Imaging Polarimetry of the Serpens Cloud Core: Magnetic Field Structure, Outflows, and Inflows in A Cluster Forming Clump
Koji Sugitani, Fumitaka Nakamura, Motohide Tamura +7
We made deep NIR imaging polarimetry toward the Serpens cloud core. The polarization vector maps enable us to newly detect 24 small IR reflection nebulae with YSOs. Polarization me…
