Low-Metallicity Star Formation Survey in Sh2-284 (LZ-STAR). II. The initial mass function
M. Andersen, A. Brizawasi, Y. Cheng +5
To fully understand the star formation process, we are compelled to study it in a variety of environments. Of particular interest are how star formation and the resulting initial m…
Chemical complexity in star formation induced by stellar feedback: cores shock-formed by the supernova remnant W44
G. Cosentino, I. Jiménez-Serra, F. Fontani +8
Low-velocity shocks from Supernova Remnants (SNRs) may set the physical and chemical conditions of star formation in molecular clouds. Recent evidence suggests that the Sun might h…
The SOMA MM Survey. I. An Astrochemical Census of Massive Protostars
D. Gigli, P. Gorai, C. Y. Law +9
During massive star formation, dense gas undergoes chemical evolution, producing both simple and complex organic molecules (COMs) characteristic of hot molecular cores. How this ev…
CO Depletion in Infrared Dark Clouds
G. Cosentino, J. C. Tan, C. Gainey +10
Infrared Dark Clouds (IRDCs) are cold, dense structures representative of the initial conditions of star formation. Many studies of IRDCs employ CO to investigate cloud dynamics. H…
Low-velocity large-scale shocks in the infrared dark cloud G035.39-00.33: bubble-driven cloud-cloud collisions
G. Cosentino, I. Jiménez-Serra, R. Liu +7
Low-velocity large-scale shocks impacting on the ISM may efficiently shape molecular clouds and trigger star formation within them. These shocks, both driven by galactic bubbles an…
