The Galactic Centre G+0.633-0.0604 molecular cloud: a new astrochemical gold mine. I. Gas physical properties
D. San Andrés, L. Colzi, V. M. Rivilla +4
In the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ), shocks play a key role in triggering star formation and driving chemical enrichment. The Sgr B2 complex is a prime template, hosting massive pr…
Substellar Initial Mass Function of Trumpler 14
Tamara Rom, Estelle Moraux, Koraljka MužiÄ +3
Young, massive stellar clusters offer a prime setting to explore brown dwarf (BD) formation under high densities and intense UV radiation. Trumpler 14 (Tr 14), a 1 Myr-old cluster…
Chemical evolution in high-mass star-forming regions
Francesco Fontani, Maria Teresa Beltrán, Anton Vasyunin
Growing evidence shows that most stars in the Milky Way, including the Sun, are born in high-mass star-forming regions, but due to both observational and theoretical challenges, ou…
Dust scattering halo of 4U 1630-47: High resolution X-ray and mm observations constrain source and molecular cloud distances
E. Kalemci, M. DÃaz Trigo, E. Oztaban +8
We re-investigated the distance to the black hole X-ray binary 4U 1630-47 by analyzing its dust scattering halo (DSH) using high-resolution X-ray (Chandra) and millimeter (APEX) ob…
Dense clumps survive in the vicinity of R136 in 30 Doradus
M. T. Valdivia-Mena, M. Rubio, V. M. Kalari +5
Context: The young massive cluster R136 at the center of 30 Doradus (30 Dor) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) generates a cavity in the surrounding molecular cloud. However, the…
Laser-FLASH: radiobiology at high dose, ultra-high dose-rate, single pulse laser-driven proton source
A. Flacco, E. Bayart, C. Giaccaglia +12
Laser-driven proton sources have long been developed with an eye on their potential for medical application to radiation therapy. These sources are compact, versatile, and show pec…
