Initial conditions for star formation in clusters: physical and kinematical structure of the starless core Oph A-N6
Tyler L. Bourke, Philip C. Myers, Paola Caselli +4
We present high spatial (<300 AU) and spectral (0.07 km/s) resolution Submillimeter Array observations of the dense starless cluster core Oph A-N6, in the 1 mm dust continuum and t…
The Coalsack near and far
H. Beuther, J. Kainulainen, Th. Henning +2
Context: The large Coalsack dark cloud is one of the rare molecular clouds without clear signs of star formation. Aims: We investigate the dynamical properties of the gas within th…
A 100-parsec elliptical and twisted ring of cold and dense molecular clouds revealed by Herschel around the Galactic Center
S. Molinari, J. Bally, A. Noriega-Crespo +38
Thermal images of cold dust in the Central Molecular Zone of the Milky Way, obtained with the far-infrared cameras on-board the Herschel satellite, reveal a 3x10^7 solar masses rin…
The JCMT Spectral Legacy Survey: physical structure of the molecular envelope of the high-mass protostar AFGL2591
M. H. D. van der Wiel, F. F. S. van der Tak, M. Spaans +4
The understanding of the formation process of massive stars (>8 Msun) is limited, due to theoretical complications and observational challenges. We investigate the physical structu…
The initial conditions of high-mass star formation: radiative transfer models of IRDCs seen in the Herschel Hi-GAL survey
L. A. Wilcock, J. M. Kirk, D. Stamatellos +13
The densest infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) may represent the earliest observable stage of high-mass star formation. These clouds are very cold, hence they emit mainly at far-infrared…
Herschel observations of Extra-Ordinary Sources: Methanol as a probe of physical conditions in Orion KL
S. Wang, E. A. Bergin, N. R. Crockett +45
We have examined methanol emission from Orion KL with of the {\em Herschel}/HIFI instrument, and detected two methanol bands centered at 524 GHz and 1061 GHz. The 524 GHz methanol…
