The ALMA-QUARKS survey: Investigating Thermal Feedback of Massive Protostars in Hot Molecular Cores
Dezhao Meng, Tie Liu, Jarken Esimbek +33
We identify a sample of 83 spatially resolved hot molecular cores (HMCs) in the QUARKS survey, aiming at investigating thermal feedback from massive stars. Using CHCN\,(12--11)…
Tracking Protostellar Variability in Massive Protoclusters with ALMA: I. Insights from QUARKS and MaMMOtH
Yuhan Yang, Tie Liu, Sheng-Yuan Liu +22
Millimeter/submillimeter variability is often attributed to dynamical disk-mediated accretion, yet detection is limited to low-mass protostars in nearby clouds. Recent observations…
The ALMA-QUARKS Survey: Evidence of an Explosive Molecular Outflow in IRAS 15520--5234
Ariful Hoque, Tapas Baug, Estrella Guzman +25
We present a study of the massive protocluster IRAS 155205234, which displays evidence of an explosive molecular outflow that unleashed a kinetic energy of at least 10 er…
ALMAGAL VII. Cataloging Hierarchical Mass Structure from Cores to Clumps across the Galactic Disk
Jennifer Wallace, Taevis Kolz, Cara Battersby +42
Investigating the multi-scale fragmentation of dense clumps into compact cores is essential for understanding the processes that govern the initial distribution of mass in stellar…
The ALMA-ATOMS survey: Methanol emission in a large sample of hot molecular cores
Jiahang Zou, Tie Liu, Sheng-Li Qin +26
Methanol (CHOH) is a key complex organic molecule (COM) in the interstellar medium, widely used as a tracer of dense gas and hot molecular cores (HMCs). Using high-resolution…
HOPS-288: A Laboratory for Complex Organics in Proto-multiple Systems
Shih-Ying Hsu, Nadia M. Murillo, Chin-Fei Lee +21
Complex organic molecules (COMs) in young stellar objects (YSOs) have attracted significant attention in recent years due to their potential connection to pre-biotic chemistry and…
