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…
A study of the Physical Properties and Star Formation Activity of a Large Sample of Molecular Clouds: I Distances
Juan Mei, Min Fang, Miaomiao Zhang +8
Accurate distances to molecular clouds are crucial for determining their physical properties, understanding star formation, and tracing Galactic spiral structure. A number of 103,5…
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…
Dust extinction map of the Galactic plane based on the UKIDSS survey data
Miaomiao Zhang, Jouni Kainulainen, He Zhao +5
Dust plays a critical role in the study of the interstellar medium (ISM). Extinction maps derived from optical surveys often fail to capture regions with high column density due to…
A Study of Multiple Molecular Lines at the 3 mm Band toward Gas Infalling Sources
Yang Yang, Xi Chen, ZhiBo Jiang +3
The study of multiple molecular spectral lines in gas infalling sources can provide the physical and chemical properties of these sources and help us estimate their evolutionary st…
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…
Investigations of MWISP Filaments. I. Filament Identification and Analysis Algorithms, and Source Catalogue
Yu Jiang
Filaments play a crucial role in providing the necessary environmental conditions for star formation, actively participating in the process. To facilitate the identification and an…
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…
Revealing Gas Inflows towards the Galactic Central Molecular Zone
Yang Su, Shiyu Zhang, Yan Sun +7
We study the gas inflows towards the Galactic Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) based on the gas morphological and kinematic features from the MWISP in the region of l=1.2 deg--19.0 deg…
The Multilayer Nature of Molecular Gas toward the Cygnus Region
Shiyu Zhang, Yang Su, Xuepeng Chen +12
We study the physical properties and 3D distribution of molecular clouds (MCs) toward the Cygnus region using the MWISP CO survey and Gaia DR3 data. Based on Gaussian decomposition…
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…
In search for infalling clumps in molecular clouds -- A catalogue of CO blue-profiles
Zhibo Jiang, Shaobo Zhang, Zhiwei Chen +5
We have started a systematic survey of molecular clumps with infall motions to study the very early phase of star formation. Our first step is to utilize the data products by MWISP…
A Catalog of Molecular Clumps and Cores with Infall Signatures
Shuling Yu, Zhibo Jiang, Yang Yang +2
The research of infall motion is a common means to study molecular cloud dynamics and the early process of star formation. Many works had been done in-depth research on infall. We…
The Role of Magnetic Fields in Triggered Star Formation of RCW 120
Zhiwei Chen, Ramotholo Sefako, Yang Yang +3
We report on the near-infrared polarimetric observations of RCW 120 with the 1.4 m IRSF telescope. The starlight polarization of the background stars reveals for the first time the…
