The G 305 Star-forming Region: II. Irregular variable stars
N. Medina, J. Borissova, R. Kurtev +11
We present a catalog of 167 newly discovered, irregular variables spanning a 7 deg area that encompasses the G 305 star-forming complex, one of the most luminous giant…
Clustered star formation towards Berkeley 87 / ON2. I. Multi-wavelength census and the population overlap problem
Diego de la Fuente, Carlos G. Román-Zúñiga, Elena Jiménez-Bailón +3
(ABRIDGED) Disentangling line-of-sight alignments of young stellar populations is crucial for observational studies of star-forming complexes. This task is particularly problematic…
Not so different after all: Properties and Spatial Structure of Column Density Peaks in the Pipe and Orion A Clouds
Carlos G. Román-Zúñiga, Emilio Alfaro, Aina Palau +4
We present a comparative study of the physical properties and the spatial distribution of column density peaks in two Giant Molecular Clouds (GMC), the Pipe Nebula and Orion A, whi…
Evidence of Hubble flow-like motion of young stellar populations away from the Perseus arm
Carlos Román-Zúñiga, Alexandre Roman-Lopes, Mauricio Tapia +2
In this letter we present evidence of coherent outward motion of a sample of young stars (30 Myr) in the Perseus Arm, whose apparent origin is located in the vicinity of the W3…
Investigating fragmentation of gas structures in OB cluster-forming molecular clump G33.92+0.11 with 1000 AU resolution observations of ALMA
Hauyu Baobab Liu, Huei-Ru Vivien Chen, Carlos G. Román-Zúñiga +7
We report new, 1000 AU spatial resolution observations of 225 GHz dust continuum emission towards the OB cluster-forming molecular clump G33.92+0.11. On parsec scales, this m…
The APOGEE-2 Survey of the Orion Star Forming Complex: I. Target Selection and Validation with early observations
J'Neil Cottle, Kevin R. Covey, Genaro Suárez +26
The Orion Star Forming Complex (OSFC) is a central target for the APOGEE-2 Young Cluster Survey. Existing membership catalogs span limited portions of the OSFC, reflecting the diff…
VISION - Vienna survey in Orion I. VISTA Orion A Survey
Stefan Meingast, João Alves, Diego Mardones +17
Orion A hosts the nearest massive star factory, thus offering a unique opportunity to resolve the processes connected with the formation of both low- and high-mass stars. Here we p…
The Relationship Between the Dust and Gas-Phase CO Across the California Molecular Cloud
S. Kong, C. J. Lada, E. A. Lada +5
A deep, wide-field, near-infrared imaging survey was used to construct an extinction map of the southeastern part of the California Molecular Cloud (CMC) with 0.5 arc min re…
Formation of dense structures induced by filament collisions. Correlation of density, kinematics and magnetic field in the Pipe nebula
Pau Frau, Josep M. Girart, Felipe Alves +3
Context. The Pipe nebula is a molecular cloud that lacks star formation feedback and has a relatively simple morphology and velocity structure. This makes it an ideal target to tes…
The mid-infrared extinction law in the darkest cores of the Pipe Nebula
J. Ascenso, C. J. Lada, J. Alves +2
Context. The properties of dust grains, in particular their size distribution, are expected to differ from the interstellar medium to the high-density regions within molecular clou…
Barnard 59: No Evidence for Further Fragmentation
C. G. Román-Zúñiga, P. Frau, J. M. Girart +1
The dense molecular clump at the center of the Barnard 59 (B59) complex is the only region in the Pipe Nebula that has formed a small,stellar cluster. The previous analysis of a hi…
Deep Near-Infrared Survey of the Pipe Nebula II: Data, Methods, and Dust Extinction Maps
Carlos Gerardo Román-Zúñiga, João F. Alves, Charles J. Lada +1
We present a new set of high resolution dust extinction maps of the nearby and essentially starless Pipe Nebula molecular cloud. The maps were constructed from a concerted deep nea…
Star formation in the Taurus filament L1495: From Dense Cores to Stars
Markus Schmalzl, Jouni Kainulainen, Sascha P. Quanz +6
We present a study of dense structures in the L1495 filament in the Taurus Molecular Cloud and examine its star-forming properties. In particular we construct a dust extinction map…
High Resolution Near-Infrared Survey of the Pipe Nebula I: A Deep Infrared Extinction Map of Barnard 59
Carlos G. Román-Zúñiga, Charles J. Lada, João F. Alves
We present our analysis of a fully sampled, high resolution dust extinction map of the Barnard 59 complex in the Pipe Nebula. The map was constructed with the infrared color excess…
