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…

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…

Unveiling Fiber Networks and Core Formation in the DR21 South Filament

Kai Yang, Keping Qiu, Xing Pan

We present high-resolution (1000 AU) 3 mm observations with the NOrthern Extended Millimeter Array toward the DR21 South Filament, aiming to reveal its internal fragmentation…

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…

Molecular deuterations in massive Starless Clump Candidates

Kai Yang, Junzhi Wang, Keping Qiu +1

Deuterated molecules are valuable probes for investigating the evolution and the kinematics in the earliest stages of star formation. In this study, we conduct a comprehensive inve…

Surveys of clumps, cores, and condensations in Cygnus-X: SMA observations of SiO (54)

Kai Yang, Keping Qiu, Xing Pan

The SiO emissions are usually used to trace high-velocity outflow shocks in star-forming regions. However, several studies have found low-velocity and widespread SiO emissions not…
