ALMA-IMF XXII. Role of core subfragmentation in the IMF origin: Hierarchical fragmentation cascade and CMF in W43-MM1

F. Motte, N. Le Nestour, R. Veyry +29

We aim to predict how the currently observed top-heavy CMF in the massive protocluster W43-MM1 evolves due to core subfragmentation. We used getsf to extract sources in 5 ALMA imag…

ALMA-IMF. XXI.: NH kinematics in the G012.80 protocluster: Evidence for filament rotation and evolution

J. Salinas, A. M. Stutz, R. H. Álvarez-Gutiérrez +20

(abridged) We aim to characterize kinematic processes in the G012.80 protocluster. We principally focus on the NH(10) emission to trace the dense and cold gas. Additiona…

ALMA-IMF XX: Core fragmentation in the W51 high-mass star-forming region

T. Yoo, A. Ginsburg, J. Braine +27

We present a study of core fragmentation in the W51-E and W51-IRS2 protoclusters in the W51 high-mass star-forming region. The identification of core fragmentation is achieved by t…

ALMA-IMF XVII -- Census and lifetime of high-mass prestellar cores in 14 massive protoclusters

M. Valeille-Manet, S. Bontemps, T. Csengeri +24

High-mass prestellar cores are extremely rare. The search for such objects has long been hindered by small sample sizes, leading to large uncertainties in their lifetimes and the c…

ALMA-IMF XVI: Mass-averaged temperature of cores and protostellar luminosities in the ALMA-IMF protoclusters

F. Motte, Y. Pouteau, T. Nony +34

ALMA-IMF imaged 15 massive protoclusters down to a resolution of of 2 kau scales, identifying about 1000 star-forming cores. The mass and luminosity of these cores, which are funda…

ALMA-IMF XII: Point-process mapping of 15 massive protoclusters

P. Dell'Ova, F. Motte, A. Gusdorf +29

A crucial aspect in addressing the challenge of measuring the core mass function, that is pivotal for comprehending the origin of the initial mass function, lies in constraining th…

ALMA-IMF XIV: Free-Free Templates Derived from H and Ionized Gas Content in Fifteen Massive Protoclusters

Roberto Galván-Madrid, Daniel J. Díaz-González, Frédérique Motte +25

We use the H recombination line to create templates of the millimeter free-free emission in the ALMA-IMF continuum maps, which allows to separate it from dust emission. This m…

ALMA-IMF XI: The sample of hot core candidates A rich population of young high-mass proto-stars unveiled by the emission of methyl formate

M. Bonfand, T. Csengeri, S. Bontemps +28

Sites associated with high-mass star and cluster formation exhibit a so-called hot core phase, characterized by high temperatures and column densities of complex organic molecules.…

ALMA-IMF X -- The core population in the evolved W33-Main (G012.80) protocluster

M. Armante, A. Gusdorf, F. Louvet +21

We aimed to measure the CMF in the evolved W33-Main star-forming protocluster to compare it with CMF recently obtained in other Galactic star-forming regions, including the ones in…

ALMA-IMF VIII -- Combination of Interferometric Continuum Images with Single-Dish Surveys and Structural Analysis of Six Protoclusters

Daniel J. Díaz-González, Roberto Galván-Madrid, Adam Ginsburg +17

We present the combination of ALMA-IMF and single-dish continuum images from the Mustang-2 Galactic Plane Survey (MGPS90) at 3 millimeters and the Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey (BG…

ALMA-IMF. VII. First release of the full spectral line cubes: Core kinematics traced by DCN J=(3-2)

N. Cunningham, A. Ginsburg, R. Galván-Madrid +30

ALMA-IMF is an Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Large Program designed to measure the core mass function (CMF) of 15 protoclusters chosen to span their early evo…

ALMA-IMF VI -- Investigating the origin of stellar masses: Core mass function evolution in the W43-MM2&MM3 mini-starburst

Y. Pouteau, F. Motte, T. Nony +35

Among the most central open questions regarding the initial mass function (IMF) of stars is the impact of environment on the shape of the core mass function (CMF) and thus potentia…

ALMA-IMF III -- Investigating the origin of stellar masses: Top-heavy core mass function in the W43-MM2&MM3 mini-starburst

Y. Pouteau, F. Motte, T. Nony +35

The ALMA-IMF Large Program observed the W43-MM2-MM3 ridge, whose 1.3mm and 3mm ALMA 12m array continuum images reach a 2500au spatial resolution. We used both the best-sensitivity…
