Temperature and Density Distribution in the Molecular Gas Toward Westerlund 2: Further Evidence for Physical Association
Akio Ohama, Joanne R. Dawson, Naoko Furukawa +10
Furukawa et al. 2009 reported the existence of a large mass of molecular gas associated with the super star cluster Westerlund 2 and the surrounding HII region RCW49, based on a st…
Molecular clouds towards RCW 49 and Westerlund 2; Evidence for cluster formation triggered by cloud-cloud collision
Naoko Furukawa, Joanne R. Dawson, Akio Ohama +4
We have made CO(J=2-1) observations towards the HII region RCW 49 and its ionizing source, the rich stellar cluster Westerlund 2 (hereafter Wd2), with the NANTEN2 sub-mm telescope.…
A peculiar jet and arc of molecular gas toward the rich and young stellar cluster Westerlund 2 and a TeV gamma ray source
Yasuo Fukui, Naoko Furukawa, Thomas M. Dame +12
We have discovered remarkable jet- and arc-like molecular features toward the rich and young stellar cluster Westerlund2. The jet has a length of ~100 pc and a width of ~10 pc, whi…
