Data reduction pipeline for the SuMAC millimeter-wave spectrometer at the LMT
A. M. Lapuente, P. S. Barry, M. Becerril-Tapia +22
We present the data reduction and analysis pipeline for the SuperSpec-MUSCAT Collaboration (SuMAC) along with several key science data products. In Summer 2025, SuperSpec on-chip s…
SuMAC: On-sky demonstration of multi-pixel on-chip millimeter-wave spectroscopy at the Large Millimeter Telescope
Marcial Becerril-Tapia, Peter S. Barry, Christopher S. Benson +22
The SuperSpec-MUSCAT Collaboration (SuMAC) is an effort to operate SuperSpec spectrometers in the MUSCAT instrument at the Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT). SuperSpec is an on-chip…
Synthetic polarization observations of magnetized pillars in HII regions: Assessing the reliability of the Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi method
Luis Andrés Hernández-Cruz, Manuel Zamora-Avilés, Abraham Luna +6
We investigated the morphology and strength of magnetic fields in pillar-shaped structures at the boundaries of HII regions by combining three-dimensional radiation-magnetohydrodyn…
Gravity or turbulence? VII. The Schmidt-Kennicutt law, the star formation efficiency, and the mass density of clusters from gravitational collapse rather than turbulent support
Manuel Zamora-Aviles, Vianey Camacho, Javier Ballesteros-Paredes +7
We explore the Schmidt-Kennicutt (SK) relations and the star formation efficiency per free-fall time (), mirroring observational studies, in numerical simulations of fi…
Filamentary collapse flow in molecular clouds
Raúl Naranjo-Romero, Enrique Vázquez-Semadeni, Robert M. Loughnane
We present idealized numerical simulations of prestellar gravitational collapse of a moderate initial filamentary perturbation with an additional central ellipsoidal enhancement (a…
Synthetic Spectral Signatures from Isothermal Collapsing Gas and the Interpretation of Infall Profiles
Robert M. Loughnane, Enrique Vázquez-Semadeni, Raúl Naranjo-Romero
We revisit the interpretation of blue-excess molecular lines from dense collapsing cores, considering recent numerical results that suggest prestellar core collapse occurs from the…
Hierarchical gravitational fragmentation. I. Collapsing cores within collapsing clouds
Raúl Naranjo-Romero, Enrique Vázquez-Semadeni, Robert M. Loughnane
We investigate the Hierarchical Gravitational Fragmentation scenario through numerical simulations of the prestellar stages of the collapse of a marginally gravitationally unstable…
Gravity or turbulence? -III. Evidence of pure thermal Jeans fragmentation at ~0.1 pc scale
Aina Palau, Javier Ballesteros-Paredes, Enrique Vazquez-Semadeni +9
We combine previously published interferometric and single-dish data of relatively nearby massive dense cores that are actively forming stars to test whether their `fragmentation l…
From dusty filaments to massive stars: The case of NGC 7538 S
Raul Naranjo-Romero, Luis A. Zapata, Enrique Vazquez-Semadeni +3
We report on high-sensitivity and high-angular resolution archival Submillimeter Array (SMA) observations of the large (15000 AU) putative circumstellar disk associated with…
