Supernova remnants in the new radio astronomy era
A. Ingallinera, M. Arias, G. Castelletti +25
Supernova remnants (SNRs) are what is left after stellar explosions, when the stellar ejecta, the explosion shock and the circumstellar medium interact. Despite being among the fir…
The SOMA MM Survey. I. An Astrochemical Census of Massive Protostars
D. Gigli, P. Gorai, C. Y. Law +9
During massive star formation, dense gas undergoes chemical evolution, producing both simple and complex organic molecules (COMs) characteristic of hot molecular cores. How this ev…
The SOFIA Massive (SOMA) Star Formation Q-band Follow-up. II. Hydrogen Recombination Lines Toward High-Mass Protostars
Prasanta Gorai, Kotomi Taniguchi, Jonathan C. Tan +11
Hydrogen recombination lines (HRLs) are valuable diagnostics of the physical conditions in ionized regions around high-mass stars. Understanding their broadening mechanisms and int…
The SOFIA Massive (SOMA) Star Formation Survey. V. Clustered Protostars
Zoie Telkamp, Ruben Fedriani, Jonathan C. Tan +16
We present m SOFIA-FORCAST images of seven regions of ``clustered" star formation as part of the SOFIA Massive (SOMA) Star Formation Survey. We identify a total of 34…
The Core Mass Function Across Galactic Environments. IV. The Galactic Center
Alva V. I. Kinman, Maya A. Petkova, Jonathan C. Tan +2
The origin of the stellar Initial Mass Function (IMF) and how it may vary with galactic environment is a matter of debate. Certain star formation theories involve a close connectio…
