An Eccentric Massive Protobinary Assembled via a Core-merger Parabolic Encounter

Yao Wang, Yichen Zhang, Rubén Fedriani +14

Most massive stars form in binary systems, which profoundly influence their subsequent evolution. However, how such systems form remains poorly understood, with several competing s…

Low-Metallicity Star Formation Survey in Sh2-284 (LZ-STAR): The Core Mass Function

Yu Cheng, Jonathan C. Tan, Morten Andersen +4

We present an ALMA 1.3~mm dust continuum study of the dense core mass function (CMF) in Sh2-284, a low metallicity outer Galaxy star-forming complex with --.…

Digging into the chemical complexity in the outer Galaxy: A hot molecular core in Sharpless 2-283

Toki Ikeda, Takashi Shimonishi, Hiroyuki Kaneko +3

The outer Galaxy (galactocentric distance 13.5 kpc) serves as an excellent laboratory for investigating the chemical complexity in low-metallicity environments. Here, we p…

ALMA Observations of Cold Methanol Gas in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC): N79 South GMC

Suman Kumar Mondal, Takashi Shimonishi, Soumen Mondal +4

We report ALMA continuum and molecular line observations at 0.1 pc resolution toward the super star cluster (SSC) candidate H72.97-69.39 in the N79 region of the LMC. The continuum…

MAGellanic Outflow and chemistry Survey (MAGOS): Hot cores in the LMC

Takashi Shimonishi, Kei E. I. Tanaka, Yichen Zhang +3

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) provides a key laboratory for exploring the diversity of star formation and interstellar chemistry under subsolar metallicity conditions. We presen…

Comparing XRISM cluster velocity dispersions with predictions from cosmological simulations: are feedback models too ejective?

XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +147

The dynamics of the intra-cluster medium (ICM), the hot plasma that fills galaxy clusters, are shaped by gravity-driven cluster mergers and feedback from supermassive black holes (…

The SOMA Atomic Outflow Survey. I. An Atomic OI and Highly Ionized OIII Outflow from Massive Protostar G11.94-00.62

Phillip Oakey, Yao-Lun Yang, Jonathan C. Tan +7

Massive stars regulate galaxy evolution and star formation through their physical and chemical feedback, but their formation remains poorly understood. Accretion-powered outflows p…

The SOFIA Massive (SOMA) Radio Survey. II. Radio Emission from High-Luminosity Protostars

Francisco Sequeira-Murillo, Viviana Rosero, Joshua Marvil +9

We present centimeter continuum observations of seven high luminosity massive protostars and their surrounding sources in regions with multiple targets, as part of the SOFIA Massiv…

Low-Metallicity Star Formation Survey in Sh2-284 (LZ-STAR). I. Ordered massive star formation in the outer Galaxy

Yu Cheng, Jonathan C. Tan, Morten Andersen +5

Star formation is a fundamental, yet poorly understood, process of the Universe. It is important to study how star formation occurs in different galactic environments. Thus, here,…

The SOFIA Massive (SOMA) Star Formation Survey. V. Clustered Protostars

Zoie Telkamp, Ruben Fedriani, Jonathan C. Tan +16

We present m SOFIA-FORCAST images of seven regions of ``clustered" star formation as part of the SOFIA Massive (SOMA) Star Formation Survey. We identify a total of 34…

The SOFIA Massive (SOMA) Star Formation Q-band follow-up I. Carbon-chain chemistry of intermediate-mass protostars

Kotomi Taniguchi, Prasanta Gorai, Jonathan C. Tan +10

Evidence for similar chemical characteristics around low- and high-mass protostars has been found: in particular, a variety of carbon-chain species and complex organic molecules (C…
