Linear filament and nested cluster evolution tomography (LANCET) I. Capture the evolution of dense gas in 14-parsec filament G316.8

Fengwei Xu, Ke Wang, Nicola Schneider +12

A dynamic view of mass assembly is essential for understanding the formation of massive stars and clusters. Interpreting evolutionary diagnostics from Galactic-wide surveys, howeve…

Galactic Large-scale Filaments Resident in Asymmetric Environments: Clues from Cross-filament Profiles of Density and Temperature

Keyun Su, Ke Wang, Fengwei Xu +1

Large-scale filaments ubiquitously exist in the Galactic interstellar medium, and their radial profiles offer insights into their formation mechanisms. We present a statistical ana…

A pan-galaxy study of synthetic giant molecular filaments: a turbulence-dominated life cycle

Zipeng Hu, Ke Wang, Mark R. Krumholz +1

Recent surveys of the Galactic plane have revealed dozens of giant molecular filaments (GMFs), with lengths ranging from tens to hundreds of parsecs, yet their origins and life cyc…

Why is the Star Formation Rate Proportional to Dense Gas Mass?

Sihan Jiao, Fengwei Xu, Hauyu Baobab Liu +14

One of the most profound empirical laws of star formation is the Gao-Solomon relation, a linear correlation between the star formation rate (SFR) and the dense molecular gas mass.…

The ALMA-QUARKS Survey: II. the ACA 1.3 mm continuum source catalog and the assembly of dense gas in massive star-forming clumps

Fengwei Xu, Ke Wang, Tie Liu +30

Leveraging the high resolution, high sensitivity, and wide frequency coverage of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), the QUARKS survey, standing for "Querying…
