The Molecular Properties of Galactic HII Regions

L. D. Anderson, T. M. Bania, J. M. Jackson +5

We derive the molecular properties for a sample of 301 Galactic HII regions including 123 ultra compact (UC), 105 compact, and 73 diffuse nebulae. We analyze all sources within the…

SMA observations of Infrared Dark Clouds: A tale of two cores

J. M. Rathborne, J. M. Jackson, Q. Zhang +1

We present high-angular resolution sub-millimeter continuum images and molecular line spectra obtained with the SMA toward two massive cores that lie within Infrared Dark Clouds; o…

Clumpy photon-dominated regions in Carina. I. [CI] and mid-J CO lines in two 4'x4' fields

C. Kramer, M. Cubick, M. Roellig +31

The Carina region is an excellent astrophysical laboratory for studying the feedback mechanisms of newly born, very massive stars within their natal giant molecular clouds (GMCs) a…

Infrared Dark Clouds: precursors to star clusters

J. M. Rathborne, J. M. Jackson, R. Simon

Infrared Dark Clouds (IRDCs) are dense molecular clouds seen as extinction features against the bright mid-infrared Galactic background. Millimeter continuum maps toward 38 IRDCs r…

A Catalog of MSX Infrared Dark Cloud Candidates

Robert Simon, James M. Jackson, Jill M. Rathborne +1

We use 8.3 um mid-infrared images acquired with the Midcourse Space Experiment satellite to identify and catalog Infrared Dark Clouds (IRDCs) in the first and fourth quadrants of t…
