Multi-Scale Magnetic Field Observations Reveal how Colliding Flows Trigger Star Formation
Jia-Wei Wang, Patrick M. Koch, Hauyu Baobab Liu +4
Magnetic fields play a crucial yet complex role in star formation, while their connection between large-scale filamentary clouds and small-scale young stellar objects remains poorl…
Magnetic field Topology and Star Formation in the Cepheus B Filamentary cloud under External Feedback
Panigrahy Sandhyarani, Chakali Eswaraiah, Manash R. Samal +6
We present a detailed study of the Cep B molecular cloud based on sub-mm dust polarization and CO (J=3--2) spectral line observations obtained with SCUBA-2/POL-2 and HARP on…
The dominance of turbulence over magnetism in the formation of massive star cluster seeds
Junhao Liu, Patricio Sanhueza, Piyali Saha +32
High-mass stars form in protoclusters, where gravo-magnetic processes shape collapsing clouds and clumps to be elongated preferentially perpendicular to magnetic (B) fields. Yet it…
Evidence for the gravity-driven and magnetically-regularized gas flows feeding the massive protostellar cluster in Cepheus A
Panigrahy Sandhyarani, Chakali Eswaraiah, Di Li +8
The hierarchical interplay among gravity, magnetic fields, and turbulence in forming massive protostellar clusters remains elusive. We present high-resolution (14 arcsec $\si…
Magnetic Fields in Massive Star-forming Regions (MagMaR). VI. Magnetic Field Dragging in the Filamentary High-mass Star-forming Region G35.20--0.74N due to Gravity
Jihye Hwang, Patricio Sanhueza, Josep Miquel Girart +27
We investigate the magnetic field orientation and strength in the massive star-forming region G35.20-0.74N (G35), using polarized dust emission data obtained with the Atacama Large…
The JCMT BISTRO-3 Survey: Variation of magnetic field orientations on parsec and sub-parsec scales in the massive star-forming region G28.34+0.06
Jihye Hwang, Kate Pattle, Chang Won Lee +35
Magnetic fields play a significant role in star-forming processes on core to clump scales. We investigate magnetic field orientations and strengths in the massive star-forming clum…
