Identifying the principal mechanism of star formation feedback

Chong Li, Rouyu Li, Keping Qiu +27

Feedback from massive stars regulates the formation of next-generation stars and planets and thus shapes the evolution of galaxies, yet observational evidence capable of determinin…

CO Structures with Narrow Lines in Nearby Quiescent Regions

Ruilin Xia, Yang Su, Shiyu Zhang +13

Using CO data from Phase I of the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting (MWISP) survey, we present a systematic study of molecular structures with narrow lines. We identify 57 CO struc…

PMO Polaris CO survey. II. Where is the dust?

Xunchuan Liu, Bing Gang Ju, Fujun Du +10

Dust plays critical chemical and dynamical roles in the interstellar medium (ISM), but its specific association with molecular and atomic gas remains difficult to isolate. Combinin…

PMO Polaris CO survey. I. A 100 deg view of the Polaris Flare

Xunchuan Liu, Bing-Gang Ju, Fujun Du +10

Large-area CO surveys are essential for studying molecular cloud dynamics and evolution; however, most have focused on the Galactic plane, leaving high-latitude clouds less explore…

Geometry and Kinematics of Molecular Cloud Substructures in the Second Galactic Quadrant

Wen Ge, Fujun Du

We analyze the geometry and kinematics of substructures within molecular clouds identified in an unbiased catalog from the MWISP survey. These substructures are defined as spatiall…

How is Cold Gas Loaded into Galactic Nuclear Outflows?

Yang Su, Xin Liu, Shiyu Zhang +7

The origin of the multiphase gas within the Fermi/eROSITA bubbles is crucial for understanding Galactic Center (GC) feedback. We use HI4PI data to investigate the kinematics and ph…

The Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting Survey: Data Release 1

Ji Yang, Qing-Zeng Yan, Yang Su +31

We present the first data release (DR1) of the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting (MWISP) survey, a mapping in the J=(1-0) transition lines of 12CO, 13CO, and C18O toward the northe…

Atomic and molecular gas in the Milky Way. I. Structure decomposition

Xin Liu, Fujun Du

We present GDCluster, a fully automated algorithm for decomposing spectral-line datacube of interstellar gas into coherent structures. Assuming a multi-Gaussian nature of observed…

CU-JADE: A Method for Traversing Extinction Jumps along the Line of Sight

Shiyu Zhang, Yang Su, Xuepeng Chen +8

Although interstellar dust extinction serves as a powerful distance estimator, the solar system's location within the Galactic plane complicates distance determinations, especially…

Gas Transfer Between the Inner 3-kpc Disk and the Galactic Central Molecular Zone

Yang Su, Shiyu Zhang, Yan Sun +10

We uncovered a more tilted molecular gas structure with highly negative velocities located near the dust lane. Our observations also show that the approaching gas flows from the ov…

Examining Turbulence in Galactic Molecular Clouds -- I: A Statistical Analysis of Velocity Structures

Yuehui Ma, Miaomiao Zhang, Hongchi Wang +14

We present a systematic analysis of the velocity structure functions (VSFs) of 167 molecular clouds with angular sizes greater than 176 arcmin in three sectors of the Gal…

Revisiting the Velocity Dispersion-Size Relation in Molecular Cloud Structures

Haoran Feng, Zhiwei Chen, Zhibo Jiang +10

Structures in molecular ISM are observed to follow a power-law relation between the velocity dispersion and spatial size, known as Larson's first relation, which is often attribute…

Bimodal orientation distribution and head-tail asymmetry of a sample of filamentary molecular clouds

Wen Ge, Fujun Du, Lixia Yuan

The morphology of molecular clouds is crucial for understanding their origin and evolution. In this work, we investigate the morphology of the filamentary molecular clouds (filamen…

Relative velocities between CO structures within CO Molecular clouds

Lixia Yuan, Ji Yang, Xuepeng Chen +10

Velocity fields of molecular clouds (MCs) can provide crucial information on the merger and split between clouds, as well as their internal kinematics and maintenance, energy injec…
