Evolution of compressed clouds formed by filament coalescence. I. Oblique collisions
Raiga Kashiwagi, Kazunari Iwasaki, Kohji Tomisaka +1
Stars are thought to form predominantly within filamentary molecular clouds. Recent studies have suggested that active star formation, including the formation of stellar clusters a…
Investigating Embedded Structures and Gas Kinematics in the IRDC Hosting Bubble N59-North
A. K. Maity, L. K. Dewangan, O. R. Jadhav +5
We present a multi-wavelength study of an extended area hosting the bubble N59-North to explore the physical processes driving massive star formation (MSF). The Spitzer 8 m imag…
Growth of Massive Molecular Cloud Filament by Accretion Flows. II. New Mechanism to Support a Supercritical Filament against Radial Collapse
Daisei Abe, Tsuyoshi Inoue, Shu-ichiro Inutsuka +1
Observations indicate that dense molecular filamentary clouds are sites of star formation. The filament width determines the most unstable scale for self-gravitational fragmentatio…
Cloud-Cloud Collision: Formation of Hub-Filament Systems and Associated Gas Kinematics; Mass-collecting cone: A new signature of Cloud-Cloud Collision
A. K. Maity, T. Inoue, Y. Fukui +6
Massive star-forming regions (MSFRs) are commonly associated with hub-filament systems (HFSs) and sites of cloud-cloud collision (CCC). Recent observational studies of some MSFRs s…
