An Eccentric Massive Protobinary Assembled via a Core-merger Parabolic Encounter

Yao Wang, Yichen Zhang, Rubén Fedriani +14

Most massive stars form in binary systems, which profoundly influence their subsequent evolution. However, how such systems form remains poorly understood, with several competing s…

The evolution of C4H and c-C3H2 in molecular cores

Yijia Liu, Junzhi Wang, Ningyu Tang +8

Linear C4H and cyclic c-C3H2, as small unsaturated hydrocarbons, are the key precursors to complex organic molecules and are critical components of the interstellar medium. We pres…

ALMA observations of massive clouds in the central molecular zone: slim filaments tracing parsec-scale shocks

Kai Yang, Xing Lu, Yichen Zhang +22

The central molecular zone (CMZ) of our Galaxy exhibits widespread emission from SiO and various complex organic molecules (COMs), yet the exact origin of such emission is uncertai…

Surveys of clumps, cores, and condensations in Cygnus-X:Searching for circumstellar disks

Xing Pan, Keping Qiu, Kai Yang +2

To investigate whether disk-mediated accretion is the primary mechanism in high-mass star formation, we have established a survey of a large sample of massive dense cores within a…
