The Magnetized Universe: From planet-forming disks to the high-redshift universe
Josep M Girart, Gary Fuller, Wouter Vlemmings +32
The interstellar medium (ISM) is magnetized at all scales and phases in our Galaxy and other galaxies across the Universe. Spectro-polarimetric millimetre observations are essentia…
Before fragmentation: from uniform clouds to stellar clusters
A. Giannetti, T. Pillai, J. Kauffmann +4
Our study of the early stages of fragmentation in massive clumps has revealed a striking anomaly: of the CoCoA sample exhibit no fragmentation at all. These sources coul…
Accurate proper motions of the protostellar system VLA1623-2417
Ricardo Hernández Garnica, Laurent Loinard, Carlos Carrasco-González +9
We present a detailed astrometric analysis of the quadruple protostellar system VLA1623-2417, deriving accurate absolute proper motions for components A, B, and W, as well as, for…
How Should We Understand the Core Mass Function? A memo of the CMF2IMF conference at ESO Garching
Fengwei Xu, Roberto Galvan-Madrid, Kaho Morii +4
The origin of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) remains one of the central questions in astronomy. Nearly three decades ago, the resemblance between the core mass function (C…
Comparing the Relation inside a Giant Molecular Cloud
Carlos G. Román-Zúñiga, Aina Palau, Javier Ballesteros-Paredes +3
In this paper we present a simple analysis around scaling relations derived from the Schmidt conjecture for star-forming molecular clouds, at the intra-cloud scale. Using a hierarc…
On the relation between magnetic field strength and gas density in the interstellar medium. II. Density uncertainties and diffuse gas constraints
David Whitworth, Amit Seta, Ralph E. Pudritz +4
The relationship between magnetic field strength and gas density is essential to understand the interstellar medium and star formation. Zeeman measurements in dense atomic and mole…
The ALMA-QUARKS survey: Investigating Thermal Feedback of Massive Protostars in Hot Molecular Cores
Dezhao Meng, Tie Liu, Jarken Esimbek +33
We identify a sample of 83 spatially resolved hot molecular cores (HMCs) in the QUARKS survey, aiming at investigating thermal feedback from massive stars. Using CHCN\,(12--11)…
Synthetic polarization observations of magnetized pillars in HII regions: Assessing the reliability of the Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi method
Luis Andrés Hernández-Cruz, Manuel Zamora-Avilés, Abraham Luna +6
We investigated the morphology and strength of magnetic fields in pillar-shaped structures at the boundaries of HII regions by combining three-dimensional radiation-magnetohydrodyn…
The ALMA-QUARKS Survey: III. Clump-to-core fragmentation and search for high-mass starless cores
Dongting Yang, Hong-Li Liu, Tie Liu +43
The Querying Underlying mechanisms of massive star formation with ALMA-Resolved gas Kinematics and Structures (QUARKS) survey observed 139 infrared-bright (IR-bright) massive proto…
ATOMS: ALMA Three-millimeter Observations of Massive Star-forming regions XVII. High-mass star-formation through a large-scale collapse in IRAS 153945358
Swagat R. Das, Manuel Merello, Leonardo Bronfman +23
Hub-filament systems are considered as natural sites for high-mass star formation. Kinematic analysis of the surroundings of hub-filaments is essential to better understand high-ma…
Gravity or turbulence? VII. The Schmidt-Kennicutt law, the star formation efficiency, and the mass density of clusters from gravitational collapse rather than turbulent support
Manuel Zamora-Aviles, Vianey Camacho, Javier Ballesteros-Paredes +7
We explore the Schmidt-Kennicutt (SK) relations and the star formation efficiency per free-fall time (), mirroring observational studies, in numerical simulations of fi…
Gravity or turbulence? VI. The physics behind the Kennicutt-Schmidt relations
Javier Ballesteros-Paredes, Manuel Zamora-Avilés, Carlos Román-Zúñiga +6
We explain the large variety of star formation laws in terms of one single, simple law that can be inferred from the definition of the star formation rate and basic algebra. The re…
The Turbulent Support (TS) and Global Hierarchical Collapse (GHC) models for molecular clouds compared. Differences, convergence, and myths
Enrique Vázquez-Semadeni, Aina Palau, Gilberto C. Gómez +8
We provide a detailed comparison between the ``turbulent support'' (TS) and ``global hierarchical collapse'' (GHC) models for molecular clouds and star formation, their respective…
