The ALMA-QUARKS Survey. IV. Core Mass Function and Evolutionary Trends in Core Formation Efficiency and Chemistry
Wenyu Jiao, Tie Liu, Dongting Yang +43
The ALMA-QUARKS (Querying Underlying Mechanisms of Massive Star Formation with ALMA-Resolved Gas Kinematics and Structures) survey targets 139 massive protoclusters selected from t…
Evolution of starless cores in massive clumps seen by the ALMA ASHES and QUARKS surveys
Dongting Yang, Hong-li Liu, Sheng-li Qin +28
We present a systematic comparative analysis of 324 starless cores in early-phase infrared-dark clouds (IRDCs; ASHES survey) and evolved-phase infrared-bright clouds (IRBCs; QUARKS…
The ALMA-QUARKS Survey: Discovery of Superfine Dusty Fibrils inside Massive Star-forming Clumps
Yan-Kun Zhang, Tie Liu, Wenyu Jiao +35
We report the discovery of more than 320 superfine dusty filamentary structures (fibrils) inside 121 massive star forming clumps that are located in widely different Galactic envir…
ATOMS-QUARKS survey: Inflow and infall in massive protocluster G318.049+00.086: Evidence of competitive accretion
Shivani Gupta, Tapas Baug, Archana Soam +17
We present a gas kinematic study of the massive protocluster G318.049+00.086. The protocluster is reported to contain 12 prestellar core candidates and 4 protostellar cores. Filame…
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-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-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…
The ALMA-QUARKS Survey: Fibers' role in star formation unveiled in an intermediate-mass protocluster region of the Vela D cloud
Dongting Yang, HongLi Liu, Tie Liu +32
In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of the IRS 17 filament within the intermediate-mass protocluster IRAS 08448-4343 (of ), using ALMA data fro…
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…
The ALMA-QUARKS Survey: II. the ACA 1.3 mm continuum source catalog and the assembly of dense gas in massive star-forming clumps
Fengwei Xu, Ke Wang, Tie Liu +30
Leveraging the high resolution, high sensitivity, and wide frequency coverage of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), the QUARKS survey, standing for "Querying…
The ALMA-QUARKS survey: Detection of two extremely dense substructures in a massive prestellar core
Xiaofeng Mai, Tie Liu, Xunchuan Liu +32
Only a handful of massive starless core candidates have been discovered so far, but none of them have been fully confirmed. Within the MM1 clump in the filamentary infrared dark cl…
