The Magnetic Field in the Milky Way Filamentary Bone G47
Ian W. Stephens, Philip C. Myers, Catherine Zucker +21
Star formation primarily occurs in filaments where magnetic fields are expected to be dynamically important. The largest and densest filaments trace spiral structure within galaxie…
Magnetized filamentary gas flows feeding the young embedded cluster in Serpens South
Thushara G. S. Pillai, Dan P. Clemens, Stefan Reissl +11
Observations indicate that molecular clouds are strongly magnetized, and that magnetic fields influence the formation of stars. A key observation supporting the conclusion that mol…
Cloud structures in M17 SWex : Possible cloud-cloud collision
Shinichi W. Kinoshita, Fumitaka Nakamura, Quang Nguyen-Luong +11
Using wide-field CO () data taken with the Nobeyama 45-m telescope, we investigate cloud structures of the infrared dark cloud complex in M17 with SCIMES. In total, w…
Large-scale molecular gas distribution in the M17 cloud complex: dense gas conditions of massive star formation?
Quang Nguyen-Luong, Fumitaka Nakamura, Koji Sugitani +8
The non-uniform distribution of gas and protostars in molecular clouds is caused by combinations of various physical processes that are difficult to separate. We explore this non-u…
Nobeyama 45-m mapping observations toward nearby molecular clouds, Orion A, Aquila Rift, and M17: Project overview
Fumitaka Nakamura, Shun Ishii, Kazuhito Dobashi +16
We carried out mapping observations toward three nearby molecular clouds, Orion A, Aquila Rift, and M17, using a new 100 GHz receiver, FOREST, on the Nobeyama 45-m telescope. In th…
Near-Infrared Imaging Polarimetry toward M17 SWex
Koji Sugitani, Fumitaka Nakamura, Tomomi Shimoikura +7
We conducted near-infrared (JHKs) imaging polarimetry toward the infrared dark cloud (IRDC) M17 SWex, including almost all of the IRDC filaments as well as its outskirts, with the…
