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…
Chemical templates of the Central Molecular Zone. Shock and protostellar object signatures under Galactic Center conditions
Katarzyna M. Dutkowska, Gijs Vermariën, Serena Viti +21
(Abridged) The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of the Milky Way exhibits extreme conditions, including high gas densities, elevated temperatures, enhanced cosmic-ray ionization rates,…
The ALMA-ATOMS Survey: Exploring Protostellar Outflows in HCN
Ariful Hoque, Tapas Baug, Lokesh K. Dewangan +25
We present the first systematic study of bipolar outflows using HCN as a tracer in a sample of 146 massive star-forming regions from ALMA-ATOMS survey. Protostellar outflows ar…
The ALMA-ATOMS survey: A sample of weak hot core candidates identified through line stacking
Zi-Yang Li, Xunchuan Liu, Tie Liu +33
Hot cores represent critical astrophysical environments for high-mass star formation, distinguished by their rich spectra of organic molecular emission lines. We aim to utilize hig…
ATOMS: ALMA Three-millimeter Observations of massive Star-forming regions -XX. Probability distribution function of integrated intensity for dense molecular gas tracers
C. Zhang, Tie Liu, Sihan Jiao +16
We report the observations of J=1-0 of HCN, HCO+, H13CO+, and H13CN, HC3N (J=11-10) emission towards 135 massive star-forming clumps, as part of the ATOMS (ALMA Three-millimeter Ob…
The ALMA-ATOMS survey: Vibrationally excited HCN lines in hot cores
Li Chen, Sheng-Li Qin, Tie Liu +26
Interstellar molecules are excellent tools for studying the physical and chemical environments of massive star-forming regions. In particular, vibrationally excited HCN (HC…
