CH3CCH as a thermometer in warm molecular gas
Yuqiang Li, Junzhi Wang, Juan Li +9
Kinetic temperature is a fundamental parameter in molecular clouds. Symmetric top molecules, such as NH and CHCCH, are often used as thermometers. However, at high temperat…
ALMA Polarization Study of the Magnetic Fields in Two Massive Clumps in the 20 km s Cloud of the Central Molecular Zone
Yuhua Liu, Xing Lu, Junhao Liu +14
We present the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of linearly polarized 870 m continuum emission at a resolution of 0.2 (200…
Widespread Hot Molecular Gas Heated by Shear-induced Turbulence in the Galactic Center
Juan Li, Junzhi Wang, Zhiqiang Shen +13
We observed NH3 metastable inversion lines from (3, 3) to (18, 18) toward G0.66-0.13 in the Galactic center with the Shanghai Tianma 65m radio telescope and Yebes 40 m telescope. H…
A misaligned protostellar disk fed by gas streamers in a barred spiral-like massive dense core
Xiaofeng Mai, Tie Liu, Xunchuan Liu +42
High-mass stars, born in massive dense cores (MDCs), profoundly impact the cosmic ecosystem through feedback processes and metal enrichment, yet little is known about how MDCs asse…
Subclustering and Star Formation Efficiency in Three Protoclusters in the Central Molecular Zone
Suinan Zhang, Xing Lu, Adam Ginsburg +21
We present so far the highest resolution (0.04") ALMA 1.3 mm continuum observations of three massive star-forming clumps in the Central Molecular Zone, namely 20 km s…
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…
Network of velocity-coherent filaments formed by supersonic turbulence in a very-high-velocity HI cloud
Xunchuan Liu, Tie Liu, Pak-Shing Li +17
The warm neutral medium (WNM) was thought to be subsonically/transonically turbulent, and it lacks a network of intertwined filaments that are commonly seen in both molecular cloud…
ALMA Observations of Massive Clouds in the Central Molecular Zone: External-Pressure-Confined Dense Cores and Salpeter-like Core Mass Functions
Zhenying Zhang, Xing Lu, Tie Liu +25
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Band 6 (1.3 mm) observations of dense cores in three massive molecular clouds within the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ)…
The magnetic field in colliding filaments G202.3+2.5
Qi-Lao Gu, Tie Liu, Pak Shing Li +19
We observe the magnetic field morphology towards a nearby star-forming filamentary cloud, G202.3+2.5, by the JCMT/POL-2 850 μm thermal dust polarization observation with an angular…
Magnetic Fields in the Central Molecular Zone Influenced by Feedback and Weakly Correlated with Star Formation
Xing Lu, Junhao Liu, Thushara Pillai +12
Magnetic fields of molecular clouds in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) have been relatively underobserved at sub-parsec resolution. Here we report JCMT/POL2 observations of polari…
Tentative detection of cyanoformamide NCCONH2 in space
Juan Li, Donghui Quan, Junzhi Wang +12
The peptide-like molecules, cyanoformamide (NCCONH2), is the cyano (CN) derivative of formamide (NH2CHO). It is known to play a role in the synthesis of nucleic acid precursors und…
The ALMA-QUARKS survey: -- I. Survey description and data reduction
Xunchuan Liu, Tie Liu, Lei Zhu +31
This paper presents an overview of the QUARKS survey, which stands for `Querying Underlying mechanisms of massive star formation with ALMA-Resolved gas Kinematics and Structures'.…
