Massive Star Formation Starts in Sub-virial Dense Clumps Unless Resisted by Strong Magnetic Fields
Ke Wang, Yueluo Wang, Fengwei Xu
The initial conditions are critical for understanding high-mass star formation, but are not well observed. Built on our previous characterization of a Galaxy-wide sample of 463 can…
The Formation of Milky Way "Bones": Ubiquitous HI Narrow Self-Absorption Associated with CO Emission
Shenglan Sun, Ke Wang, Xunchuan Liu +1
Long and skinny molecular filaments running along Galactic spiral arms are known as "bones", since they make up the skeleton of the Milky Way. However, their origin is still an ope…
Absence of High-mass Prestellar Cores in the Orion Giant Molecular Cloud
Wenyu Jiao, Ke Wang, Fengwei Xu
A fundamental difference between "core-fed" and "clump-fed" star formation theories lies in the existence or absence of high-mass cores at the prestellar stage. However, only a han…
Relative alignment between gas structures and magnetic field in Orion A at different scales using different molecular gas tracers
Wenyu Jiao, Ke Wang, Fengwei Xu +2
Context: Magnetic fields can play crucial roles in high-mass star formation. Nonetheless, the significance of magnetic fields at various scales and their relationship with gas stru…
