Recent star formation in the Lupus clouds as seen by Herschel
K. L. J. Rygl, M. Benedettini, E. Schisano +26
We present a study of the star formation histories of the Lupus I, III, and IV clouds using the Herschel 70-500 micron maps obtained by the Herschel Gould Belt Survey Key Project.…
An analysis of star formation with Herschel in the Hi-GAL Survey. I. The Science Demonstration Phase Fields
M. Veneziani, D. Elia, A. Noriega-Crespo +8
The Herschel survey of the Galactic Plane (Hi-GAL) provides a unique opportunity to study star formation over large areas of the sky and different environments in the Milky Way. We…
Herschel observations of B1-bS and B1-bN: two first hydrostatic core candidates in the Perseus star-forming cloud
Stefano Pezzuto, D. Elia, E. Schisano +24
We report far-IR Herschel observations obtained between 70 m and 500 m of two star-forming dusty condensations, B1-bS and B1-bN, in the B1 region of the Perseus star-forming…
On the shape of the mass-function of dense clumps in the Hi-GAL fields. I. SED determination and global properties of the mass-functions
L. Olmi, D. Angles-Alcazar, D. Elia +11
Stars form in dense, dusty clumps of molecular clouds, but little is known about their origin and evolution. In particular, the relationship between the mass distribution of these…
Variations in the Galactic star formation rate and density thresholds for star formation
S. N. Longmore, J. Bally, L. Testi +11
The conversion of gas into stars is a fundamental process in astrophysics and cosmology. Stars are known to form from the gravitational collapse of dense clumps in interstellar mol…
The spine of the swan: A Herschel study of the DR21 ridge and filaments in Cygnus X
M. Hennemann, F. Motte, N. Schneider +31
In order to characterise the cloud structures responsible for the formation of high-mass stars, we present Herschel observations of the DR21 environment. Maps of the column density…
A multi-wavelength investigation of RCW175: an HII region harboring spinning dust emission
C. T. Tibbs, R. Paladini, M. Compiegne +9
Using infrared, radio continuum and spectral observations, we performed a detailed investigation of the HII region RCW175. We determined that RCW175, which actually consists of two…
Isolated starless cores in IRDCs in the Hi-GAL survey
L. A. Wilcock, D. Ward-Thompson, J. M. Kirk +15
In a previous paper we identified cores within infrared dark clouds (IRDCs). We regarded those without embedded sources as the least evolved, and labelled them starless. Here we id…
Cluster-formation in the Rosette molecular cloud at the junctions of filaments
N. Schneider, T. Csengeri, M. Hennemann +31
For many years feedback processes generated by OB-stars in molecular clouds, including expanding ionization fronts, stellar winds, or UV-radiation, have been proposed to trigger su…
The Pipe Nebula as seen with Herschel: Formation of filamentary structures by large-scale compression ?
N. Peretto, Ph. Andre, V. Konyves +20
A growing body of evidence indicates that the formation of filaments in interstellar clouds is a key component of the star formation process. In this paper, we present new Herschel…
Cores in Infra-Red Dark Clouds (IRDCs) seen in the Hi-GAL survey between l = 300° and l = 330°
L. A. Wilcock, D. Ward-Thompson, J. M. Kirk +15
We have used data taken as part of the Herschel infrared Galactic Plane survey (Hi-GAL) to study 3171 infrared-dark cloud (IRDC) candidates that were identified in the mid-infrared…
A spectral line survey of the starless and proto-stellar cores detected by BLAST toward the Vela-D molecular cloud
Jorge L. Morales Ortiz, Luca Olmi, Michael Burton +6
We present a 3-mm and 1.3-cm spectral line survey conducted with the Mopra 22-m and Parkes 64-m radio telescopes of a sample of 40 cold dust cores, previously observed with BLAST,…
