A Modified Conveyor Belt Model: Implications for Surface Density Thresholds for Massive Star Formation
Nicholas Larose, C. R. Kerton, Kathryn Devine +1
Recent models and simulations of cluster formation within molecular clumps consider multi-scale, hierarchical accretion, which leads to clump mass growth over time. This mode of ma…
The Milky Way Project: Bridging Intermediate- and High-Mass Star Formation with the MIRION Catalog of Yellowballs
Kathryn Devine, Grace Wolf-Chase, C. R. Kerton +7
We describe the construction and use of the Mid-InfraRed Interstellar Objects and Nebulae (MIRION) catalog, which was compiled from 6176 objects identified as "yellowballs" (YBs) b…
Crowdsourcing Star-Formation Research and the Power of Participatory Science
Grace Wolf-Chase, Charles Kerton, Kathryn Devine +2
We review participatory science programs that have contributed to the understanding of star formation. The Milky Way Project (MWP), one of the earliest participatory science projec…
BFS 10: A nascent bipolar H II region in a filamentary molecular cloud
Nicholas Larose, C. R. Kerton
We present a study of the compact blister HII region BFS 10 and its highly filamentary molecular cloud. We utilize 12CO observations from the Five College Radio Astronomy Observato…
