Grain size limits derived from 3.6 μm and 4.5 μm coreshine
J. Steinacker, M. Andersen, W. -F. Thi +8
Recently discovered scattered light from molecular cloud cores in the wavelength range 3-5 μm (called "coreshine") seems to indicate the presence of grains with sizes above 0.5 μm.…
A common column density threshold for scattering at 3.6 mum and water-ice in molecular clouds
M. Andersen, W-F. Thi, J. Steinacker +1
Context: Observations of scattered light in the 1-5 m range have revealed dust grains in molecular cores with sizes larger than commonly inferred for the diffuse interstellar me…
The earliest phases of star formation - A Herschel key project. The thermal structure of low-mass molecular cloud cores
R. Launhardt, A. M. Stutz, A. Schmiedeke +19
The temperature and density structure of molecular cloud cores are the most important physical quantities that determine the course of the protostellar collapse and the properties…
The Earliest Phases of Star formation observed with Herschel (EPoS): The dust temperature and density distributions of B68
M. Nielbock, R. Launhardt, J. Steinacker +13
(Abriged) In the framework of the Herschel GTKP "The earliest phases of star formation", we have imaged B68 between 100 and 500 um. Ancillary (sub)mm data, spectral line maps of th…
The structured environments of embedded star-forming cores. PACS and SPIRE mapping of the enigmatic outflow source UYSO 1
H. Linz, O. Krause, H. Beuther +6
The intermediate-mass star-forming core UYSO 1 has previously been found to exhibit intriguing features. While deeply embedded and previously only identified by means of its (sub-)…
Direct evidence of dust growth in L183 from MIR light scattering
J. Steinacker, L. Pagani, A. Bacmann +1
Theoretical arguments suggest that dust grains should grow in the dense cold parts of molecular clouds. Evidence of larger grains has so far been gathered in near/mid infrared exti…
