Characterising magnetic fields at the onset of star cluster formation: From giant molecular clouds to infrared dark clumps

Ria Ramkumar, Nicolas Peretto, Gary A. Fuller +2

The role of magnetic fields in the observed inefficiency of star formation in Galactic molecular clouds is a widely debated topic, with the past decade seeing an explosion of obser…

Can Clump Properties Predict Core Distribution in Star Formation? A Statistical Analysis of MHD Simulations

Wei-An Chen, Seamus D. Clarke, Ya-Wen Tang

Dense cores, the progenitors of stars, are in sub-pc scale and fragmented from pc-scale clumps. However, it is still unclear that how strongly the fragmentation process is affected…

A Tale of Three: Magnetic Fields along the Orion Integral-Shaped Filament as Revealed by JCMT BISTRO survey

Jintai Wu, Keping Qiu, Frederick Poidevin +152

As part of the BISTRO survey, we present JCMT 850 m polarimetric observations towards the Orion Integral-Shaped Filament (ISF) that covers three portions known as OMC-1, OMC-2,…
