ALMA-QUARKS view of W49N: Multipolar episodic outflow associated with the most energetic Galactic water maser

Yunfan Jiao, Tie Liu, Wenyu Jiao +28

We present a detailed investigation of a multipolar episodic molecular outflow in the mini-starburst region W49N, which hosts the most luminous water maser in the Galaxy. Using hig…

ALMA-QUARKS: Few-Thousand-Year Hatching out of "Egg": The Supersonic Breakout of a Hypercompact H II Region from Its Parental Hot Core

Siju Zhang, Guido Garay, Fengwei Xu +19

The kinematic evolution of hypercompact H II (HC H II) regions around young high-mass stars remains poorly understood due to complex interactions with parental environs. We present…

A misaligned protostellar disk fed by gas streamers in a barred spiral-like massive dense core

Xiaofeng Mai, Tie Liu, Xunchuan Liu +42

High-mass stars, born in massive dense cores (MDCs), profoundly impact the cosmic ecosystem through feedback processes and metal enrichment, yet little is known about how MDCs asse…
