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…
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 (…
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…
