B-fields In STar-forming Region Observations (BISTRO): Dual-Wavelength Constraints on Size-Dependent Grain Alignment in Star-Forming Regions

Ray S. Furuya, David Berry, Pierre Bastien +65

We compared 450 and 850 m POL-2 observations from the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope at resolution. The median absolute difference in polarization angle between bands is…

A clump population framework for star formation across galactic scales

J. W. Zhou, Sami Dib, Tie Liu +11

Whether star formation across different spatial scales and galactic environments follows universal laws remains poorly understood. We investigate cloud-scale star formation in 30 d…

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…

Morphological Identification of Dynamical Regimes in MHD Turbulence with ScaleAware-JEPA

Mengke Zhao, Guang-Xing Li, Keping Qiu

The morphology of turbulent interstellar gas reflects the coupled action of turbulence, magnetic fields, and self-gravity, but density amplitude alone does not uniquely specify dyn…

Gravity-driven Emergence of Multi-fractal Density Structure in the Orion A Integral Shaped Filament

Mengke Zhao, Guang-Xing Li, Keping Qiu +1

Molecular clouds are often described as self-similar structures, although spatially averaged measures do not retain local variations in density scaling. We use the density exponent…

Turbulence Cascade in Cygnus X Revealed by Multi-point VDF Method

Junjie Huang, Yangjun Pu, Keping Qiu +3

Turbulence plays a crucial role in regulating star formation activities within molecular clouds, yet few methods can directly reveal its properties and underlying processes. We use…

The dominance of turbulence over magnetism in the formation of massive star cluster seeds

Junhao Liu, Patricio Sanhueza, Piyali Saha +32

High-mass stars form in protoclusters, where gravo-magnetic processes shape collapsing clouds and clumps to be elongated preferentially perpendicular to magnetic (B) fields. Yet it…
