Shared star formation in the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds
Xunchuan Liu, Yu Cheng
We investigate the structural and evolutionary similarities between star formation patterns in different environments by comparing the dense clump populations in the Milky Way (MW)…
The JWST-NIRCam View of Sagittarius C. III. The Extinction Curve
LucÃa Bravo Ferres, Francisco Nogueras-Lara, Rainer Schödel +8
Determining the infrared extinction curve towards the Galactic centre is crucial for accurately correcting observed data and deriving the underlying stellar populations. However, e…
Network of velocity-coherent filaments formed by supersonic turbulence in a very-high-velocity HI cloud
Xunchuan Liu, Tie Liu, Pak-Shing Li +17
The warm neutral medium (WNM) was thought to be subsonically/transonically turbulent, and it lacks a network of intertwined filaments that are commonly seen in both molecular cloud…
Core mass function in view of fractal and turbulent filaments and fibers
Xunchuan Liu, Tie Liu, Xiaofeng Mai +5
We propose that the core mass function (CMF) can be driven by filament fragmentation. To model a star-forming system of filaments and fibers, we develop a fractal and turbulent tre…
