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…

The ALMA-ATOMS-QUARKS survey: Resolving a chemically rich massive protostellar outflow

Jia-Hang Zou, Tie Liu, Fengwei Xu +19

We present a comprehensive study on the physical and chemical structures of a chemically rich bipolar outflow in a high-mass star forming region IRAS 162724837 (SDC335), utilizi…

The ALMA-QUARKS survey: Hot Molecular Cores are a long-standing phenomenon in the evolution of massive protostars

Dezhao Meng, Tie Liu, Jarken Esimbek +34

We present an analysis of the QUARKS survey sample, focusing on protoclusters where Hot Molecular Cores (HMCs, traced by CH3CN(12--11)) and UC HII regions (traced by H30α/H40α) coe…

A misaligned protostellar disk fed by gas streamers in a barred spiral-like massive dense core

Xiaofeng Mai, Tie Liu, Xunchuan Liu +42

High-mass stars, born in massive dense cores (MDCs), profoundly impact the cosmic ecosystem through feedback processes and metal enrichment, yet little is known about how MDCs asse…

The ALMA-ATOMS Survey: Exploring Protostellar Outflows in HCN

Ariful Hoque, Tapas Baug, Lokesh K. Dewangan +25

We present the first systematic study of bipolar outflows using HCN as a tracer in a sample of 146 massive star-forming regions from ALMA-ATOMS survey. Protostellar outflows ar…

The ALMA-ATOMS survey: A sample of weak hot core candidates identified through line stacking

Zi-Yang Li, Xunchuan Liu, Tie Liu +33

Hot cores represent critical astrophysical environments for high-mass star formation, distinguished by their rich spectra of organic molecular emission lines. We aim to utilize hig…

ATOMS: ALMA Three-millimeter Observations of Massive Star-forming regions -XXI. A Large-sample Observational Study of Ethanol and Dimethyl Ether in Hot Cores

Zhiping Kou, Xiaohu Li, Sheng-Li Qin +21

Hot cores, as a stage of massive star formation, exhibit abundant line emissions of COMs. We present a deep line survey of two isomers of CHO: ethanol (CHOH; EA), a…
