Random gas motions inside sub-parsec scale supercritical filaments
Chao Zhang, Tie Liu, Mika Juvela +12
Supercritical gas filaments in molecular clouds host the dense cores in which new stars form. The mechanisms governing their formation and subsequent gas accretion remain poorly un…
Evolution of starless cores in massive clumps seen by the ALMA ASHES and QUARKS surveys
Dongting Yang, Hong-li Liu, Sheng-li Qin +28
We present a systematic comparative analysis of 324 starless cores in early-phase infrared-dark clouds (IRDCs; ASHES survey) and evolved-phase infrared-bright clouds (IRBCs; QUARKS…
HOTDISK. Finding Massive Protostellar Disks with Water and Refractory Molecular Species
Kai Yang, Yichen Zhang, Kei E. I. Tanaka +16
We present high-angular-resolution (, au) ALMA Band~6 observations from the HOTDISK project (Hot-Origin Tracer survey of DISKs of massive pro…
The ALMA-QUARKS survey: Investigating Thermal Feedback of Massive Protostars in Hot Molecular Cores
Dezhao Meng, Tie Liu, Jarken Esimbek +33
We identify a sample of 83 spatially resolved hot molecular cores (HMCs) in the QUARKS survey, aiming at investigating thermal feedback from massive stars. Using CHCN\,(12--11)…
BISTRO Survey: Gravity-Dominated and Magnetically Regulated Star Formation in M17 SW
Mengke Zhao, Keping Qiu, Ji-hyun Kang +27
We present high-resolution magnetic field maps of the M17 SW molecular cloud using JCMT 850 m dust polarization at a scale of 14. The magnetic field exhibits a distinct arc…
Discovery of a Compact Hub-Filament System in G286.21+0.17 with JWST and ALMA: Insights into Protocluster Formation and Competitive Accretion
L. K. Dewangan, N. K. Bhadari, Ram K. Yadav +17
We present a multi-wavelength study of the massive protocluster G286.21+0.17 (G286) using \emph{JWST} near-infrared imaging and ALMA HCO(1--0) observations. The \emph{…
