The environments forming stellar and planetary systems
Michael Kuffmeier, Jaime E. Pineda, Peter Schilke +29
How does a star's birth environment set the mass, angular momentum and chemical complexity delivered to its planet-forming disk, and thereby whether it builds planets, brown dwarfs…
Chemical Demographics of Star-forming Regions
Maria N. Drozdovskaya, Timea Csengeri, Maria Teresa Beltrán +35
Our understanding of complex organic chemistry during the formation of stars and planets is shaped by a handful of cherry-picked sources with bright molecular emission lines. This…
Frontiers of chemical complexity in the interstellar medium: unveiling the cosmic origins of life
Víctor M. Rivilla, Miguel Sanz-Novo, Maite Beltrán +33
The interstellar medium (ISM) contains a rich molecular inventory that provides a unique window into the chemistry operating during star and planet formation and its connection to…
A tool of Hierarchical cOre ideNtification and Kinematic property AssIgnment (HONKAI) for Dense Cores
Jiawei Liu, Zhiyuan Ren, Di Li +8
Infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) contains cold dense gas at the earliest stage of massive star and cluster formation. In studying the IRDCs, a universal and fundamental task is to reso…
Observations of DNC and DCO toward the -shaped Filament and Starless Cores in the Orion Molecular Clouds
Ken'ichi Tatematsu, Atsushi Nishimura, Hideo Ogawa +25
Although the deuterium fraction is known to be a powerful evolutionary tracer, its variation within individual molecular cloud cores is still poorly understood. The northern …
Pattern Finding in mm-Wave Spectra of Massive Young Stellar Objects
Yenifer Angarita, Germán Chaparro, Stuart L. Lumsden +4
Massive stars play a pivotal role in shaping their galactic surroundings due to their high luminosity and intense ionizing radiation. However, the precise mechanisms governing the…
