B-fields In STar-forming Region Observations (BISTRO): Dual-Wavelength Constraints on Size-Dependent Grain Alignment in Star-Forming Regions

Ray S. Furuya, David Berry, Pierre Bastien +65

We compared 450 and 850 m POL-2 observations from the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope at resolution. The median absolute difference in polarization angle between bands is…

B-fields In STar-forming Region Observations (BISTRO): Technical Foundations for Quantitative 450/850 m JCMT SCUBA-2/POL-2 Polarimetry

Ray S. Furuya, David Berry, Pierre Bastien +59

We present five technical validations of SCUBA-2/POL-2 polarimetry on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope at 450 and 850 m, using 174 archival fields in 69 molecular cloud regions…

Evolution of compressed clouds formed by filament coalescence. I. Oblique collisions

Raiga Kashiwagi, Kazunari Iwasaki, Kohji Tomisaka +1

Stars are thought to form predominantly within filamentary molecular clouds. Recent studies have suggested that active star formation, including the formation of stellar clusters a…

Hub Formation and Filament-Filament Collision: An Analytical Model

Kohji Tomisaka, Raiga Kashiwagi, Kazunari Iwasaki

Filaments are ubiquitous throughout the Galaxy. Massive star formation is often observed in hub-filament systems, where multiple filaments appear to be interconnected and merging.…

H Ortho-Para Spin Conversion on Inhomogeneous Grain Surfaces. II. impact of the rotational energy difference between adsorbed ortho-H and para-H and implication to deuterium fractionation chemistry

Kenji Furuya, Toshiki Sugimoto, Kazunari Iwasaki +2

We investigate how the H ortho-to-para ratio (OPR) and dueterium fractionation in star-forming regions are affected by nuclear spin conversion (NSC) on dust grains. Particular…
