Magneto-Gravitational Regulated Streamer Accretion onto a Class 0 Protostellar System
Bo Huang, Josep M. Girart, Ian W. Stephens +17
How do magnetic fields shape the way young stars gather gas from their birth clouds? Using high-resolution Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of a young trip…
BISTRO Survey: Gravity-Dominated and Magnetically Regulated Star Formation in M17 SW
Mengke Zhao, Keping Qiu, Ji-hyun Kang +27
We present high-resolution magnetic field maps of the M17 SW molecular cloud using JCMT 850 m dust polarization at a scale of 14. The magnetic field exhibits a distinct arc…
Magnetic field alignment with dense cores in the transition between cloud and core scales
Sean Yin, Ayush Pandhi, Rachel Friesen +7
In a magnetically-dominated model of star formation, we expect to see alignments between the magnetic field orientation of star-forming dense cores and the cloud-scale magnetic fie…
Protostellar Outflows Shed Light on the Dominant Close Companion Star Formation Pathways
Ryan Sponzilli, Leslie Looney, John J. Tobin +11
Understanding the formation pathway for close-companion protostars is central to unraveling the processes that govern stellar multiplicity and very early star formation. We analyze…
FIELDMAPS Data Release: Far-Infrared Polarization in the "Bones" of the Milky Way
Simon Coudé, Ian W. Stephens, Philip C. Myers +13
Polarization observations of the Milky Way and many other spiral galaxies have found a close correspondence between the orientation of spiral arms and magnetic field lines on scale…
Magnetic Fields in the Bones of the Milky Way
Ian W. Stephens, Simon Coude, Philip C. Myers +20
Stars primarily form in galactic spiral arms within dense, filamentary molecular clouds. The largest and most elongated of these molecular clouds are referred to as ``bones," which…
