Enabling population studies on wind-driven Galactic binary systems
B. Marcote, P. Benaglia, V. Bosch-Ramon +8
Galactic binaries driven by stellar wind shocks, such as colliding wind binaries (CWBs) and gamma-ray binaries (gBs), harbor one of the most efficient particle acceleration engines…
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…
The ALMA-QUARKS Survey: Discovery of Dusty Fibrils inside Massive Star-forming Clumps
Yan-Kun Zhang, Tie Liu, Wenyu Jiao +35
We report the discovery of more than 323 superfine dusty filamentary structures (fibrils) inside 121 massive star forming clumps that are located in widely different Galactic envir…
Investigating particle acceleration in the Wolf-Rayet bubble NGC 2359
Anindya Saha, Anandmayee Tej, Santiago del Palacio +4
Massive stars have been proposed as candidates to be major factories of Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs). However, this claim lacks enough empirical evidence, especially for isolated st…
ALMA-QUARKS: Few-Thousand-Year Hatching out of "Egg": The Supersonic Breakout of a Hypercompact H II Region from Its Parental Hot Core
Siju Zhang, Guido Garay, Fengwei Xu +19
The kinematic evolution of hypercompact H II (HC H II) regions around young high-mass stars remains poorly understood due to complex interactions with parental environs. We present…
The ALMA-QUARKS survey: Evidence of a candidate high-mass prestellar core aside a bright-rimmed cloud IRAS 18290-0924
Dongting Yang, Hong-Li Liu, Shengli Qin +32
Although frequently reported in observations, the definitive confirmation of high-mass prestellar cores has remained elusive, presenting a persistent challenge in star formation st…
