Self-interacting dark matter from radiative bound-state-formation feedback

Marcos M. Flores, Kalliopi Petraki, Thomas Pignard

Observations of galactic structure motivate sizable dark-matter self-interactions at low velocities, naturally realized through light force mediators. Such mediators can also make…

Unveiling the Chemical Complexity and C/O Ratio of the HD 163296 Protoplanetary Disk: Constraints from Multi-line ALMA Observations of Organics, Nitriles, Sulfur-bearing, and Deuterated Molecules

Parashmoni Kashyap, Liton Majumdar, Edwin A. Bergin +13

The physical and chemical conditions within a protoplanetary disk play a crucial role in determining its chemical composition, which is subsequently inherited by any forming planet…

A misaligned protostellar disk fed by gas streamers in a barred spiral-like massive dense core

Xiaofeng Mai, Tie Liu, Xunchuan Liu +42

High-mass stars, born in massive dense cores (MDCs), profoundly impact the cosmic ecosystem through feedback processes and metal enrichment, yet little is known about how MDCs asse…

The H2 Glow of a Quiescent Molecular Cloud Observed with JWST

Paul F. Goldsmith, Shengzhe Wang, Xin Wang +6

We report JWST MIRI/MRS observations of the H2 S(1) 17.04 micron transition in two regions in the boundary of the Taurus Molecular Cloud. The two regions, denoted Edge (near the re…

Ionized gas at the edge of the Central Molecular Zone

W. D. Langer, P. F. Goldsmith, J. L. Pineda +3

To determine the properties of the ionized gas at the edge of the CMZ near Sgr E we observed a small portion of the edge of the CMZ near Sgr E with spectrally resolved [C II] 158 m…

Magnetic Fields in High-Mass Infrared Dark Clouds

Thushara Pillai, Jens Kauffmann, Jonathan C. Tan +3

High-mass Stars are cosmic engines known to dominate the energetics in the Milky Way and other galaxies. However, their formation is still not well understood. Massive, cold, dense…

Water absorption in Galactic translucent clouds: conditions and history of the gas derived from Herschel/HIFI PRISMAS observations

N. Flagey, P. F. Goldsmith, D. C. Lis +8

We present Herschel/HIFI observations of nine transitions of \hho and \hheo towards six high-mass star-forming regions, obtained as part of the PRISMAS Key Program. Water vapor in…

The Arecibo Methanol Maser Galactic Plane Survey - III: Distances and Luminosities

J. D. Pandian, K. M. Menten, P. F. Goldsmith

We derive kinematic distances to the 86 6.7 GHz methanol masers discovered in the Arecibo Methanol Maser Galactic Plane Survey. The systemic velocities of the sources were derived…
