ALOHA IRDCs Molecular Line Follow-up: I. Gas properties and kinematics
Jinjin Xie, Yaoting Yan, Zhiyuan Ren +109
Infrared Dark Clouds are ideal sites for investigating the initial conditions of massive star and cluster formation. The A Lei Of the Habitat and Assembly of Infrared Dark Clouds (…
An inverted infall profile for the collapse of the massive star-forming IRDC SDC335.579-0.292
Jinjin Xie, Gary A. Fuller, Di Li +8
There is increasing evidence for global collapse of clumps over parsec-scales in massive star formation regions. Such collapse may result in characteristic molecular line emission…
Transient protostellar cores in high mass star forming regions revealed by time-resolved synthetic imaging of dust emission
Camilo H. Peñaloza, Rowan J. Smith, Claudia J. Cyganowski +4
The connection between dense gas cores and their infant protostars is key to understanding how stars form in molecular clouds. In this paper we investigate the properties, persiste…
The Role of Magnetic Fields in the Formation of High-Mass Star-Forming Cores
Katerina Sophia Klos, Ian A. Bonnell, Rowan J. Smith
Magnetic fields are often invoked as playing a primary role in star formation and in the formation of high-mass stars. We investigate the effect of magnetic fields on the formation…
ALMA observations of the Extended Green Object G19.010.03: II. A massive protostar with typical chemical abundances surrounded by four low-mass prestellar core candidates
Gwenllian M. Williams, Claudia J. Cyganowski, Crystal L. Brogan +3
We present a study of the physical and chemical properties of the Extended Green Object (EGO) G19.010.03 using sub-arcsecond angular resolution Atacama Large Millimeter/submilli…
