Cracking open the "dragon egg": ALMA 1.3mm observations of a compact, young high-mass core candidate at 30mas resolution

A. T. Barnes, J. D. Henshaw, Á. Sánchez-Monge +14

Massive prestellar cores are a central assumption of core-accretion models of high-mass star formation, yet convincing observational examples remain rare. The "dragon egg" (C2c1a)…

ALMAGAL IX. The chemical complexity of AG318.9477-00.1960: A line-identification template for ALMAGAL

J. Allande, M. T. Beltrán, V. M. Rivilla +36

We present a detailed molecular line analysis of one of the most chemically rich cores in the ALMAGAL sample, the high-mass core~9 in the AG318.9477-00.1960 clump (AG318-c9), locat…

Chemical complexity in star formation induced by stellar feedback: cores shock-formed by the supernova remnant W44

G. Cosentino, I. Jiménez-Serra, F. Fontani +8

Low-velocity shocks from Supernova Remnants (SNRs) may set the physical and chemical conditions of star formation in molecular clouds. Recent evidence suggests that the Sun might h…

The SOMA MM Survey. I. An Astrochemical Census of Massive Protostars

D. Gigli, P. Gorai, C. Y. Law +9

During massive star formation, dense gas undergoes chemical evolution, producing both simple and complex organic molecules (COMs) characteristic of hot molecular cores. How this ev…

CO Depletion in Infrared Dark Clouds

G. Cosentino, J. C. Tan, C. Gainey +10

Infrared Dark Clouds (IRDCs) are cold, dense structures representative of the initial conditions of star formation. Many studies of IRDCs employ CO to investigate cloud dynamics. H…

Low-velocity large-scale shocks in the infrared dark cloud G035.39-00.33: bubble-driven cloud-cloud collisions

G. Cosentino, I. Jiménez-Serra, R. Liu +7

Low-velocity large-scale shocks impacting on the ISM may efficiently shape molecular clouds and trigger star formation within them. These shocks, both driven by galactic bubbles an…

Interaction between the Supernova Remnant W44 and the Infrared Dark Cloud G034.77-00.55: shock induced star formation?

G. Cosentino, I. Jiménez-Serra, A. T. Barnes +11

How Supernova Remnant (SNR) shocks impact nearby molecular clouds is still poorly observationally constrained. It is unclear if SNRs can positively or negatively affect clouds star…
