The 200-300 GHz Survey for 18 Class II Disks in the Ophiuchus Star-Forming Complex

Chia-Ying Chung, Hauyu Baobab Liu, Chuan-Yung Lin +4

We measured the 198-310 GHz flux densities of 18 Class II protoplanetary disks in the Ophiuchus star-forming complex using the Submillimeter Array (SMA). The 200-300 GHz spec…

Dense Cores in the Vicinity of an HII Region

Ruofei Zhang, Xing Lu, Jingwen Wu +23

Massive stars strongly influence their surroundings through radiative and mechanical feedback, but its effects on dense gas structures at sub-pc scales remain poorly constrained. W…

Trace the Self-Gravitating Gas Using CO Isotopologues

Linjing Feng, Jingwen Wu, Sihan Jiao +12

Recent studies have shown that the star formation rate (SFR) correlates tightly and linearly with the mass of gravitationally bound gas, which can be delineated from the power-law…

Spatially resolved thermal dust emission in the L1157 outflow reveals grain-driven molecular enrichment

Siyi Feng, Hauyu Baobab Liu, Yang Lu +11

Protostellar outflow shocks reshape local dust properties and molecular chemistry. The L1157 outflow is an archetypal chemically rich shocked region, but the thermal dust associate…

Tails of Gravity: Persistence of Star Formation in the CMZ Environment

Linjing Feng, Sihan Jiao, Fengwei Xu +16

We characterize star-forming gas in six molecular clouds (Sgr B1-off, Sgr B2, Sgr C, the 20 km s and 50 km s molecular clouds, and the Brick) in the Galactic central…

Deep Andromeda JCMT-SCUBA2 Observations. The Submillimeter Maps and Giant Molecular Clouds

Sihan Jiao, Jingwen Wu, Hauyu Baobab Liu +23

We have carried out unprecedentedly deep, nearly confusion-limited JCMT-SCUBA2 mapping observations on the nearest spiral galaxy, M31 (Andromeda). The 850 m image with a 5…

An S-shaped filament formed due to Cloud-Cloud Collision in molecular cloud G178.28-00.61

Tianwei Zhang, Tie Liu, Yuefang Wu +18

We present compelling observational evidence supporting G178.28-00.61 as an early-stage candidate for Cloud-Cloud Collision (CCC), with indications of the formation of an S-shaped…

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.…

Gravitationally Bound Gas Determines Star Formation in the Galaxy

Sihan Jiao, Jingwen Wu, Zhi-Yu Zhang +13

Stars form from molecular gas under complex conditions influenced by multiple competing physical mechanisms, such as gravity, turbulence, and magnetic fields. However, accurately i…

CRAFTS for HI cosmology: I. data processing pipeline and validation tests

Wenxiu Yang, Laura Wolz, Yichao Li +20

We present the calibration procedures and validation of source measurement with the data of the Commensal Radio Astronomy FAST Survey (CRAFTS) for \HI intensity mapping by the Five…

Optical Extinctions of Inter-Arm Molecular Clouds in M31: A Pilot Study for the Upcoming CSST Observations

Cailing Chen, Zheng Zheng, Chao-Wei Tsai +8

Recent sub-millimeter dust thermal emission observations have unveiled a significant number of inter-arm massive molecular clouds in M31.However,the effectiveness of this technique…
