The ALMA-QUARKS Survey. IV. Core Mass Function and Evolutionary Trends in Core Formation Efficiency and Chemistry
Wenyu Jiao, Tie Liu, Dongting Yang +43
The ALMA-QUARKS (Querying Underlying Mechanisms of Massive Star Formation with ALMA-Resolved Gas Kinematics and Structures) survey targets 139 massive protoclusters selected from t…
The ALMA-QUARKS Survey: Properties of Hot Molecular Fragments in the Massive Protocluster IRAS 17233-3606
Li Chen, Sheng-Li Qin, Dongting Yang +29
To investigate the physical mechanisms of fragmentation within the hot molecular core of the massive protocluster IRAS 17233-3606 (G351.78-0.54), we carried out a detailed analysis…
Evolution of starless cores in massive clumps seen by the ALMA ASHES and QUARKS surveys
Dongting Yang, Hong-li Liu, Sheng-li Qin +28
We present a systematic comparative analysis of 324 starless cores in early-phase infrared-dark clouds (IRDCs; ASHES survey) and evolved-phase infrared-bright clouds (IRBCs; QUARKS…
The ALMA-QUARKS Survey: Evidence of an Explosive Molecular Outflow in IRAS 15520--5234
Ariful Hoque, Tapas Baug, Estrella Guzman +25
We present a study of the massive protocluster IRAS 155205234, which displays evidence of an explosive molecular outflow that unleashed a kinetic energy of at least 10 er…
The ALMA-QUARKS Survey: Discovery of Superfine Dusty Fibrils inside Massive Star-forming Clumps
Yan-Kun Zhang, Tie Liu, Wenyu Jiao +35
We report the discovery of more than 320 superfine dusty filamentary structures (fibrils) inside 121 massive star forming clumps that are located in widely different Galactic envir…
ATOMS-QUARKS survey: Inflow and infall in massive protocluster G318.049+00.086: Evidence of competitive accretion
Shivani Gupta, Tapas Baug, Archana Soam +17
We present a gas kinematic study of the massive protocluster G318.049+00.086. The protocluster is reported to contain 12 prestellar core candidates and 4 protostellar cores. Filame…
TRAO Survey of the Nearby Filamentary Molecular Clouds, the Universal Nursery of Stars (TRAO-FUNS). IV. Filaments and Dense Cores in the W40 and Serpens South Regions of Aquila
Satyajeet Moharana, Chang Won Lee, Shinyoung Kim +9
We present the results of molecular line observations toward the W40 and Serpens South regions of the Aquila molecular cloud complex, conducted as part of the TRAO-FUNS project to…
Magnetic fields in the close neighborhood of LDN 328 core
Shivani Gupta, Archana Soam, Janik Karoly +1
Linearly polarized dust emission traces the plane-of-sky magnetic field structure, thus allowing us to investigate the role of magnetic fields in the formation and evolution of clo…
Unbound Tails and Compressed Heads: A JCMT Study of the SFO 38 Cloud
Puja Porel, Archana Soam, Janik Karoly +5
SFO 38, located in the Cepheus molecular cloud within the northern part of the HII region IC 1396, is shaped by intense ultraviolet radiation from the nearby O6.5V-type star HD 206…
Magnetic fields on different spatial scales of the L328 cloud
Shivani Gupta, Archana Soam, Janik Karoly +2
L328 core has three sub-cores S1, S2, and S3, among which the sub-core S2 contains L328-IRS, a Very Low Luminosity Object (VeLLO), which shows a CO bipolar outflow. Earlier investi…
