Chemical diversity of dense cores in Orion B: The role of the environment
Helena J. Mazurek, Maryvonne Gerin, Pierre Gratier +26
Prestellar cores are the sites of the earliest stages of star formation. Dust continuum observations are often used to identify and characterize their properties yet only a small f…
FIELDMAPS Data Release: Far-Infrared Polarization in the "Bones" of the Milky Way
Simon Coudé, Ian W. Stephens, Philip C. Myers +13
Polarization observations of the Milky Way and many other spiral galaxies have found a close correspondence between the orientation of spiral arms and magnetic field lines on scale…
The JCMT Gould Belt Survey Complete Core Catalogue: Core mass function variations between nearby molecular clouds
Kate Pattle, James Di Francesco, Jenny Hatchell +14
We present a catalogue of dense cores identified in James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) Gould Belt Survey SCUBA-2 observations of nearby star-forming clouds. We identified 2257 de…
Gravitational Binding and Star Formation in Molecular Clouds of the Milky Way
Philip C. Myers, Mark Heyer, Ian W. Stephens +3
The gravitational binding and star-forming properties of molecular clouds (MCs) in the Milky Way (MW) are estimated from CO cloud observations and from a model of pressure-bounded…
Tracers of the ionization fraction in dense and translucent molecular gas: II. Using mm observations to constrain ionization fraction across Orion B
Ivana BeÅ¡liÄ, Maryvonne Gerin, Viviana V. Guzmán +28
The ionization fraction () is a crucial parameter of interstellar gas, yet estimating it requires deep knowledge of molecular gas chemistry…
