Dense Cores in the Vicinity of an HII Region

Ruofei Zhang, Xing Lu, Jingwen Wu +23

Massive stars strongly influence their surroundings through radiative and mechanical feedback, but its effects on dense gas structures at sub-pc scales remain poorly constrained. W…

MIAO-ALMA: Shocks and Protostellar Outflows in 70 m-dark clumps with 1 /

Shuting Lin, Siyi Feng, Junzhi Wang +16

To investigate the initial conditions of high-mass star-forming regions, we use SiO (2-1) emission to trace early shock-related kinematics toward sixteen 70 m-dark and massive c…

ALOHA IRDCs Molecular Line Follow-up: I. Gas properties and kinematics

Jinjin Xie, Yaoting Yan, Zhiyuan Ren +109

Infrared Dark Clouds are ideal sites for investigating the initial conditions of massive star and cluster formation. The A Lei Of the Habitat and Assembly of Infrared Dark Clouds (…

Spatially resolved thermal dust emission in the L1157 outflow reveals grain-driven molecular enrichment

Siyi Feng, Hauyu Baobab Liu, Yang Lu +11

Protostellar outflow shocks reshape local dust properties and molecular chemistry. The L1157 outflow is an archetypal chemically rich shocked region, but the thermal dust associate…

Anomalously high deuterium fractionation in a galactic translucent cloud: a challenge to chemical models

Gan Luo, Zhi-Yu Zhang, Thomas G. Bisbas +8

Deuterated (D-) species have long been proposed to diagnose the physical conditions and chemical evolution of cold dense molecular clouds. While deuterium fractionation has been ex…

The MALATANG survey: star formation, dense gas, and AGN feedback in NGC 1068

Shuting Lin, Siyi Feng, Zhi-Yu Zhang +14

We aim to investigate the interplay between dense molecular gas, star formation, and active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback in the luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) NGC 1068 at sub-k…

Dense Molecular Ring-like structure in gaseous CO depletion region G34.74-0.12

Shuting Lin, Siyi Feng, Fengwei Xu +14

We report the discovery of a dense molecular ring-like structure in a dense (10 cm), cold (pc-scale CO depletion at a factor of 5), and young (10 year) star-forming…

The ALMA Survey of 70 m Dark High-mass Clumps in Early Stages (ASHES). XII. Unanchored Forked Stream in the Propagating Path of a Protostellar Outflow

Shuting Lin, Siyi Feng, Patricio Sanhueza +14

Outflows are key indicators of ongoing star formation. We report the discovery of an unanchored forked stream within the propagating path of an extremely young protostellar outflow…

Subclustering and Star Formation Efficiency in Three Protoclusters in the Central Molecular Zone

Suinan Zhang, Xing Lu, Adam Ginsburg +21

We present so far the highest resolution (0.04") ALMA 1.3 mm continuum observations of three massive star-forming clumps in the Central Molecular Zone, namely 20 km s…

ALMA observations of massive clouds in the central molecular zone: slim filaments tracing parsec-scale shocks

Kai Yang, Xing Lu, Yichen Zhang +22

The central molecular zone (CMZ) of our Galaxy exhibits widespread emission from SiO and various complex organic molecules (COMs), yet the exact origin of such emission is uncertai…

Inadequate turbulent support in low-metallicity molecular clouds

Lingrui Lin, Zhi-Yu Zhang, Junzhi Wang +16

The dynamic properties of molecular clouds are set by the interplay of their self-gravity, turbulence, external pressure and magnetic fields. Extended surveys of Galactic molecular…

CO Observations of Early-mid Stage Major Mergers in the MaNGA Survey

Qingzheng Yu, Taotao Fang, Cong Kevin Xu +5

We present a study of the molecular gas in early-mid stage major-mergers, with a sample of 43 major-merger galaxy pairs selected from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Ob…

An improved method to measure and abundance ratios: revisiting CN isotopologues in the Galactic outer disk

Yichen Sun, Zhi-Yu Zhang, Junzhi Wang +7

The variations of elemental abundance and their ratios along the Galactocentric radius result from the chemical evolution of the Milky Way disks. The ratio in p…
