3D B-fieLds in the InterStellar medium and Star-forming regions (3D-BLISS): I. Using Starlight Polarization in the Massive IRDC Filament G11.11-0.12

Bao Truong, Thiem Hoang, Nguyen Bich Ngoc +3

Measuring three-dimensional magnetic fields (3D B-fields) is essential to understand the formation and evolution of the interstellar medium and multi-scale star formation; however,…

B-fields And dust in interstelLar fiLAments using Dust POLarization (BALLAD-POL): VI. Grain alignment mechanisms in the massive quiescent filament G16.96+0.27 using dust polarization observations from JCMT/POL-2

Saikhom Pravash, Thiem Hoang, Archana Soam +5

Dust polarization induced by aligned non-spherical grains acts as an important tool to trace the magnetic field (B-field) morphologies and strengths in molecular clouds and constra…

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…

Supermassive black hole mass measurement in the spiral galaxy NGC 4736 Using JWST/NIRSpec stellar kinematics

Dieu D. Nguyen, Hai N. Ngo, Tinh Q. T. Le +12

We present accurate mass measurements of the central supermassive black hole (SMBH) in NGC 4736 (M 94).\ We used the ``gold-standard" stellar absorption features (CO band heads) at…

B-fields And dust in interstelLar fiLAments using Dust POLarization (BALLAD-POL): III. Grain alignment and disruption mechanisms in G34.43+0.24 using polarization observations from JCMT/POL-2

Saikhom Pravash, Archana Soam, Pham Ngoc Diep +3

Polarization of starlight and thermal dust emission due to aligned non-spherical grains helps us to trace magnetic field (B-field) morphology in molecular clouds and to study grain…
