Dichotomy in the Dynamical Status of Massive Cores in Orion
T. velusamy, R. Peng, D. Li +2
To study the evolution of high mass cores, we have searched for evidence of collapse motions in a large sample of starless cores in the Orion molecular cloud. We used the Caltech S…
Simultaneous Determination of the Cosmic Ray Ionization Rate and Fractional Ionization in DR21(OH)
T. Hezareh, M. Houde, C. McCoey +2
We present a new method for the simultaneous calculation of the cosmic ray ionization rate, zeta(H2), and the ionization fraction, chi(e), in dense molecular clouds. A simple netwo…
An Upper Limit on Gas Production from 3200 Phaethon
Paul A. Wiegert, Martin Houde, Ruisheng Peng
Asteroid 3200 Phaethon resembles a comet in some ways, including a highly-eccentric orbit (e=0.89) and a strong associated meteor shower (the Geminids). Yet this object has never b…
Tracing the Magnetic Field in Orion A
Martin Houde, C. Darren Dowell, Roger. H. Hildebrand +5
We use extensive 350 um polarimetry and continuum maps obtained with Hertz and SHARC II along with HCN and HCO+ spectroscopic data to trace the orientation of the magnetic field in…
On the Measurement of the Magnitude and Orientation of the Magnetic Field in Molecular Clouds
Martin Houde, Pierre Bastien, Jessie L. Dotson +6
We demonstrate that the combination of Zeeman, polarimetry and ion-to-neutral molecular line width ratio measurements permits the determination of the magnitude and orientation of…
The Alignment of the Magnetic Field and Collimated Outflows in Star-forming Regions: the Case of NGC 2071
Martin Houde, Thomas G. Phillips, Pierre Bastien +2
The magnetic field is believed to play a crucial role in the process of star formation. From the support it provides during the initial collapse of molecular clouds to the creation…
