Star Formation Drives Production of Low Energy Cosmic Rays
Ningyu Tang, Jiahao Liu, Di Li +18
For over a century, the origin of low-energy cosmic rays (LECRs), the dominant heaters and ionizers of dense interstellar gas, remains elusive owing to solar modulation and uncerta…
Massive star formation at the Galactic crossroads: Insights from G358.69+0.03 in the Galactic center
A. Cheema, V. S. Veena, K. M. Menten +7
We investigated the high-mass star formation activity in a subregion of the Sagittarius E star-forming complex, centered at (l,b) = (358.69 deg, 0.03 deg), where infrared and radio…
Probing Large-scale Structure and the Multi-Phase IGM at the Cosmic Noon -- Insights from a Joint Survey with Euclid, CSST, JPCam, and JUST
Jiang-Tao Li, Renato A. Dupke, Yan Gong +4
We present scientific and technical justifications of a potential coordinated Euclid/CSST/JPCam/JUST survey of the Euclid Deep Field North (EDF-N), aimed at probing the multi-phase…
Oxygen isotopes reveal low-mass star dominance in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Yan Gong, Zhi-yu Zhang, Christian Henkel +9
Oxygen isotope abundances and their ratios are fingerprints of stellar evolution and therefore provide a powerful tool in tracing the enrichment history of galaxies. However, their…
Nitrogen Abundance Distribution in the inner Milky Way
Jorge L. Pineda, Shinji Horiuchi, L. D. Anderson +9
We combine a new Galactic plane survey of Hydrogen Radio Recombination Lines (RRLs) with far-infrared (FIR) surveys of ionized Nitrogen, N+, to determine Nitrogen abundance across…
First detection of CF in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Yan Gong, Karl M. Menten, Arshia M. Jacob +2
CF has been established as a valuable diagnostic tool for investigating photo-dissociation regions (PDRs) and fluorine abundances in the Milky Way. However, its role in extra…
