Discovery of Molecular and Atomic Gas associated with HESS J1646-458 (Westerlund 1): Spatial TeV Gamma-Ray and Interstellar Proton Correspondence
H. Sano, Y. Fukui, S. Fujimori +21
We report CO and HI studies of molecular and atomic gas toward the TeV gamma-ray source HESS J1646458, widely considered to be associated with the young massive cluster Westerlu…
Head-tail molecular clouds falling onto the Milky Way disk
Mikito Kohno, Yasuo Fukui, Takahiro Hayakawa +13
We report discovery of two CO clouds which are likely falling down to the Galactic plane at more than km s. The clouds show head-tail distributions elongated perpendicu…
Giant molecular clouds and their Type classification in M74: Toward understanding star formation and cloud evolution
F. Demachi, Y. Fukui, R. I. Yamada +10
We investigated the giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in M74 (NGC 628), using data obtained from the PHANGS project. We applied the GMC Types according to the activity of star formatio…
ACA CO(J=2-1) Mapping of the Nearest Spiral Galaxy M33. II. Exploring the Evolution of Giant Molecular Clouds
Ayu Konishi, Kazuyuki Muraoka, Kazuki Tokuda +12
The evolution of giant molecular clouds (GMCs), the main sites of high-mass star formation, is an essential process to unravel the galaxy evolution. Using a GMC catalogue of M33 fr…
