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…

CO Structures with Narrow Lines in Nearby Quiescent Regions

Ruilin Xia, Yang Su, Shiyu Zhang +13

Using CO data from Phase I of the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting (MWISP) survey, we present a systematic study of molecular structures with narrow lines. We identify 57 CO struc…

Investigations of MWISP Bubbles: Identification and Analysis of Enclosed Molecular Bubbles by Weight Fields

Yu Jiang, Xuepeng Chen, Ji Yang +7

Molecular bubbles are widely used as tracers of stellar feedback; yet, their identification in spectral-line surveys remains challenging because both cavity morphology and kinemati…

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 radial velocity stability for reference sources in the MWISP CO survey

Lixia Yuan, Ji Yang, Min Fang +3

To assess the velocity stability of CO spectral lines in the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting (MWISP) survey, we employ a cross-correlation method to measure velocity shifts acros…

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…

CU-JADE: A Method for Traversing Extinction Jumps along the Line of Sight

Shiyu Zhang, Yang Su, Xuepeng Chen +8

Although interstellar dust extinction serves as a powerful distance estimator, the solar system's location within the Galactic plane complicates distance determinations, especially…

Bullet shooting cloud-cloud collision in MIR bubble N65

En Chen, Xi Chen, Min Fang +3

We report that the formation of the twin-bubble system N65 and N65bis may be caused by the cloud-cloud collision (CCC) from the Bullet Nebula. The blue-shifted CO gas compon…

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…

Multiple collisions in N59 bubble: Sequential cloud-cloud collisions

En Chen, Xi Chen, Xuepeng Chen +2

We report that the gas components in the N59 bubble suffered from sequential multiple cloud-cloud collision (CCC) processes. The molecular gas in the N59 bubble can be decomposed i…
