ALMA-IMF XX: Core fragmentation in the W51 high-mass star-forming region

T. Yoo, A. Ginsburg, J. Braine +27

We present a study of core fragmentation in the W51-E and W51-IRS2 protoclusters in the W51 high-mass star-forming region. The identification of core fragmentation is achieved by t…

ALMA-IMF XV: The core mass function in the high-mass star-formation regime

F. Louvet, P. Sanhueza, A. Stutz +38

The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is critical to our understanding of star formation and the effects of young stars on their environment. On large scales, it enables us to us…

A graph theory-based multi-scale analysis of hierarchical cascade in molecular clouds : Application to the NGC 2264 region

B. Thomasson, I. Joncour, E. Moraux +4

The spatial properties of small star-clusters suggest that they may originate from a fragmentation cascade of the cloud for which there might be traces up to a few dozen of kAU. Ou…

ALMA-IMF III -- Investigating the origin of stellar masses: Top-heavy core mass function in the W43-MM2&MM3 mini-starburst

Y. Pouteau, F. Motte, T. Nony +35

The ALMA-IMF Large Program observed the W43-MM2-MM3 ridge, whose 1.3mm and 3mm ALMA 12m array continuum images reach a 2500au spatial resolution. We used both the best-sensitivity…

ALMA-IMF I -- Investigating the origin of stellar masses: Introduction to the Large Program and first results

F. Motte, S. Bontemps, T. Csengeri +61

The ALMA-IMF Large Program imaged a total noncontiguous area of 53pc2, covering 15 extreme, nearby protoclusters of the Milky Way. They were selected to span relevant early protocl…

Mass segregation and sequential star formation in NGC 2264 revealed by Herschel

T. Nony, J. -F. Robitaille, F. Motte +16

The mass segregation of stellar clusters could be primordial rather than dynamical. Despite the abundance of studies of mass segregation for stellar clusters, those for stellar pro…
