Magnetic Fields in Massive Star-forming Regions (MagMaR). IX. Radiative Torque Alignment and Disruption in NGC6334I
Vineet Rawat, Thiem Hoang, Patricio Sanhueza +18
Intense radiation from high-mass stars is expected to significantly affect dust grain alignment and evolution through RAdiative Torques (RATs). We investigate this effect in a mass…
Challenges in probing turbulent and magnetic support in cores: the W43-MM1 protocluster case study
M. Valeille-Manet, F. Louvet, F. Motte +13
Estimating the level of non-thermal support in cores is both challenging and crucial for constraining the earliest stages of star formation. We quantify the kinetic and magnetic su…
Magnetic Fields in Massive Star-forming Regions (MagMaR). VII. On the dynamical importance of B-fields in massive protocluster W33 A
Fengwei Xu, Q. Zhang, P. Sanhueza +30
Magnetic fields (B-fields) are likely important in massive protocluster formation, but their role remains poorly constrained. We present 1.2 mm ALMA full-polarization observations…
The dominance of turbulence over magnetism in the formation of massive star cluster seeds
Junhao Liu, Patricio Sanhueza, Piyali Saha +32
High-mass stars form in protoclusters, where gravo-magnetic processes shape collapsing clouds and clumps to be elongated preferentially perpendicular to magnetic (B) fields. Yet it…
Digging into the Interior of Hot Cores with ALMA (DIHCA). VI. The Formation of Low-mass Multiple Systems in High-mass Cluster-forming Regions
Qiuyi Luo, Patricio Sanhueza, Stella S. R. Offner +14
Most stars form in multiple systems, with profound implications in numerous astronomical phenomena intrinsically linked to multiplicity. However, our knowledge about the process on…
Magnetic Fields in Massive Star-forming Regions (MagMaR). VI. Magnetic Field Dragging in the Filamentary High-mass Star-forming Region G35.20--0.74N due to Gravity
Jihye Hwang, Patricio Sanhueza, Josep Miquel Girart +27
We investigate the magnetic field orientation and strength in the massive star-forming region G35.20-0.74N (G35), using polarized dust emission data obtained with the Atacama Large…
First results from ALPPS: a sub-Alfvénic streamer in SVS13A
P. C. Cortes, J. E. Pineda, T. -H. Hsieh +22
We present the first results from the ALMA Perseus Polarization Survey (ALPPS), focusing on the magnetic field in the SVS13A circumbinary disk. The dataset includes full-Stokes dus…
Magnetic Fields in Massive Star-forming Regions (MagMaR). V. The Magnetic Field at the Onset of High-mass Star Formation
Patricio Sanhueza, Junhao Liu, Kaho Morii +36
A complete understanding of the initial conditions of high-mass star formation and what processes determine multiplicity require the study of the magnetic field (B-field) in young,…
Magnetic Fields in Massive Star-forming Regions (MagMaR): Unveiling an Hourglass Magnetic Field in G333.46-0.16 using ALMA
Piyali Saha, Patricio Sanhueza, Marco Padovani +33
The contribution of the magnetic field to the formation of high-mass stars is poorly understood. We report the high-angular resolution (, 870 au) map of the…
MagMar III -- Resisting the Pressure, Is the Magnetic Field Overwhelmed in NGC6334I?
Paulo C. Cortes, Josep M. Girart, Patricio Sanhueza +23
We report on ALMA observations of polarized dust emission at 1.2 mm from NGC6334I, a source known for its significant flux outbursts. Between five months, our data show no substant…
