Simulations of the star-forming molecular gas in an interacting M51-like galaxy: cloud population statistics
Robin G. Tress, Mattia C. Sormani, Rowan J. Smith +5
To investigate how molecular clouds react to different environmental conditions at a galactic scale, we present a catalogue of giant molecular clouds resolved down to masses of $\s…
The Cloud Factory II: Gravoturbulent Kinematics of Resolved Molecular Clouds in a Galactic Potential
Andres F. Izquierdo, Rowan J. Smith, Simon C. O. Glover +6
We present a statistical analysis of the gravoturbulent velocity fluctuations in molecular cloud complexes extracted from our "Cloud Factory" galactic-scale ISM simulation suite. F…
The CARMA-NRO Orion Survey: Filament Formation via Collision-Induced Magnetic Reconnection -- The Stick in Orion A
Shuo Kong, Volker Ossenkopf-Okada, Héctor G. Arce +13
A unique filament is identified in the {\it Herschel} maps of the Orion A giant molecular cloud. The filament, which, we name the Stick, is ruler-straight and at an early evolution…
Gravity and rotation drag the magnetic field in high-mass star formation
H. Beuther, J. D. Soler, H. Linz +8
The formation of hot stars out of the cold interstellar medium lies at the heart of astrophysical research. Understanding the importance of magnetic fields during star formation re…
A SOFIA Survey of [CII] in the galaxy M51 II. [CII] and CO kinematics across spiral arms
Jorge L. Pineda, Juergen Stutzki, Christof Buchbender +10
We present the first complete, velocity-resolved [CII] 158um image of the M51 grand-design spiral galaxy, observed with the upGREAT instrument on SOFIA. [CII] is an important trace…
Synthetic observations of spiral arm tracers of a simulated Milky Way analog
Stefan Reissl, Jeroen M. Stil, En Chen +16
Context: The Faraday rotation measure (RM) is often used to study the magnetic field strength and orientation within the ionized medium of the Milky Way. Observations indicate a RM…
Simulations of the Milky Way's central molecular zone -- II. Star formation
Mattia C. Sormani, Robin G. Tress, Simon C. O. Glover +5
The Milky Way's central molecular zone (CMZ) has emerged in recent years as a unique laboratory for the study of star formation. Here we use the simulations presented in Tress et a…
Simulations of the Milky Way's central molecular zone -- I. Gas dynamics
Robin G. Tress, Mattia C. Sormani, Simon C. O. Glover +5
We use hydrodynamical simulations to study the Milky Way's central molecular zone (CMZ). The simulations include a non-equilibrium chemical network, the gas self-gravity, star form…
