Highly filamentary H{\,\small I} gas in the circumgalactic medium and intragalactic medium around NGC 4631
C. Zhang, Tie Liu, Xiaofeng Mai +1
Neutral hydrogen (H{\,\small I}) in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) and intergalactic medium (IGM) traces baryon cycling and galaxy evolution, yet fine filamentary substructures in…
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…
HOTDISK. Finding Massive Protostellar Disks with Water and Refractory Molecular Species
Kai Yang, Yichen Zhang, Kei E. I. Tanaka +16
We present high-angular-resolution (, au) ALMA Band~6 observations from the HOTDISK project (Hot-Origin Tracer survey of DISKs of massive pro…
ALMA-QUARKS view of W49N: Multipolar episodic outflow associated with the most energetic Galactic water maser
Yunfan Jiao, Tie Liu, Wenyu Jiao +28
We present a detailed investigation of a multipolar episodic molecular outflow in the mini-starburst region W49N, which hosts the most luminous water maser in the Galaxy. Using hig…
Tracking Protostellar Variability in Massive Protoclusters with ALMA: I. Insights from QUARKS and MaMMOtH
Yuhan Yang, Tie Liu, Sheng-Yuan Liu +22
Millimeter/submillimeter variability is often attributed to dynamical disk-mediated accretion, yet detection is limited to low-mass protostars in nearby clouds. Recent observations…
VLBI astrometry of radio stars to link radio and optical celestial reference frames - II. 11 radio stars
Jingdong Zhang, Bo Zhang, Shuangjing Xu +10
The alignment between the radio-based International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF) and the optical Gaia Celestial Reference Frame (Gaia-CRF) is critical for multi-waveband astron…
