ALMA observations of Magnetic Fields in the Massive Star-forming Region IRAS 18360-0537
Shixian Mo, Keping Qiu, Qizhou Zhang +6
Assessing the significance of magnetic fields in high-mass star formation remains one of the most challenging topics in astrophysics. In this study, we present full polarization ob…
Measuring Magnetic Field Strengths in Galactic Star-forming Regions via the Zeeman Effect with the SKA
Tyler L. Bourke, Tao-Chung Ching, Laura Fissel +14
Magnetic fields thread the interstellar medium from the largest to the smallest scales and play an important role in molecular cloud evolution and star formation. Quantifying this…
Magnetic threads and gravity: ALMA Observations of IRDC G14.225-0.506
Nacho Añez-López, Gemma Busquet, Josep Miquel Girart +14
During the star formation process, the interplay between gravity, turbulence, and B-fields is significant, with B-fields apparently serving a regulatory function. However, the exte…
Detection of a septuple stellar system in formation via disk fragmentation
Shanghuo Li, Henrik Beuther, André Oliva +15
Stellar multiple systems play a pivotal role in cluster dynamics and stellar evolution, leading to intense astronomical phenomena like X-ray binaries, gamma-ray bursts, Type Ia sup…
Impact of gravity on changing magnetic field orientations in a sample of massive protostellar clusters observed with ALMA
Qizhou Zhang, Junhao Liu, Lingzhen Zeng +12
The magnetic field is integral to our understanding of the formation and dynamical evolution of molecular clouds and star formation within. We present a polarimetric survey of 17 m…
Parallel Alignments between Magnetic Fields and Dense Structures in the Central Molecular Zone
Xing Pan, Qizhou Zhang, Keping Qiu +8
The recent Far-Infrared Polarimetric Large-Area Central Molecular Zone Exploration (FIREPLACE) survey with SOFIA has mapped plane-of-the-sky magnetic field orientations within the…
