Supernova origin of galactic turbulence revealed by superbubbles

Fanyi Meng, Chao-Wei Tsai, Jingwen Wu +13

Supernovae (SNe) are among the leading candidates for powering galactic-scale turbulence. SNe drive expanding shells of neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) known as superbubbles. Due to t…

MIAO-ALMA: Shocks and Protostellar Outflows in 70 m-dark clumps with 1 /

Shuting Lin, Siyi Feng, Junzhi Wang +16

To investigate the initial conditions of high-mass star-forming regions, we use SiO (2-1) emission to trace early shock-related kinematics toward sixteen 70 m-dark and massive c…

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…

Molecular gas content of gravitational-lensed quasars at cosmic noon

Zhiyuan Zheng, Yong Shi, Qiusheng Gu +4

Star-forming activity in the host galaxies of high-redshift quasars is crucial to understanding the connection between supermassive black hole (SMBH) activity and galaxy evolution.…

Dense gas properties and star formation in M 82

Fei Li, Zhi-Yu Zhang, Junzhi Wang +1

High-density molecular gas plays a vital role in supporting star formation within galaxies. However, traditional tracers of dense gas, such as the low- transitions of HCN and HC…

Dense Molecular Ring-like structure in gaseous CO depletion region G34.74-0.12

Shuting Lin, Siyi Feng, Fengwei Xu +14

We report the discovery of a dense molecular ring-like structure in a dense (10 cm), cold (pc-scale CO depletion at a factor of 5), and young (10 year) star-forming…

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…

Black holes regulate cool gas accretion in massive galaxies

Tao Wang, Ke Xu, Yuxuan Wu +10

The nucleus of almost all massive galaxies contains a supermassive black hole (BH). The feedback from the accretion of these BHs is often considered to have crucial roles in establ…

Global dynamic scaling relations of HI-rich ultra-diffuse galaxies

Hui-Jie Hu, Qi Guo, Zheng Zheng +4

The baryonic Tully-Fisher relation (BTFR), which connects the baryonic mass of galaxies with their circular velocities, has been validated across a wide range of galaxies, from dwa…
