GMC Collisions As Triggers of Star Formation. VIII. The Core Mass Function
Chia-Jung Hsu, Jonathan C. Tan, Duncan Christie +2
Compression in giant molecular cloud (GMC) collisions is a promising mechanism to trigger formation of massive star clusters and OB associations. We simulate colliding and non-coll…
Sequential Star Formation in the Young SMC Region NGC 602: Insights from ALMA
Theo J. O'Neill, Remy Indebetouw, Karin Sandstrom +7
NGC 602 is a young, low-metallicity star cluster in the "Wing" of the Small Magellanic Cloud. We reveal the recent evolutionary past of the cluster through analysis of high-resolut…
Effects of CO-dark Gas on Measurements of Molecular Cloud Stability and the Size-Linewidth Relationship
Theo J. O'Neill, Remy Indebetouw, Alberto D. Bolatto +2
Stars form within molecular clouds, so characterizing the physical states of molecular clouds is key in understanding the process of star formation. Cloud structure and stability i…
The Renovated Thacher Observatory and First Science Results
Jonathan J. Swift, Karina Andersen, Toby Arculli +38
Located on the campus of the Thacher School in Southern California, the Thacher Observatory has a legacy of astronomy research and education that dates back to the late 1950's. In…
The Core Mass Function Across Galactic Environments. III. Massive Protoclusters
Theo J. O'Neill, Giuliana Cosentino, Jonathan C. Tan +2
The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is fundamental for many areas of astrophysics, but its origin remains poorly understood. It may be inherited from the core mass function (CM…
