ALMA observations of the early stages of substellar formation in the Lupus 1 and 3 molecular clouds
A. Santamaría-Miranda, I. de Gregorio-Monsalvo, A. L. Plunkett +10
The dominant mechanism leading to the formation of brown dwarfs (BDs) remains uncertain. The most direct keys to formation, which are obtained from younger objects (pre-BD cores an…
The role of the magnetic field in the fragmentation process: the case of G14.225-0.506
N. Añez-López, G. Busquet, P. M. Koch +8
B-fields are predicted to play a role in the formation of filamentary structures and their fragmentation process. We aim at investigating the role of the B-field in the process of…
VLA ammonia observations of L1287: analysis of the "Guitar" core and two filaments
Inma Sepúlveda, Robert Estalella, Guillem Anglada +6
The present work aims at studying the dense gas of the molecular cloud LDN 1287 (L1287), which harbors a double FU Ori system, an energetic molecular outflow and a still-forming cl…
Confirming the Explosive Outflow in G5.89 with ALMA
Luis A. Zapata, Paul T. P. Ho, Manuel Fernández-López +9
The explosive molecular outflow detected decades ago in the Orion BN/KL region of massive star formation was considered to be a bizarre event. This belief was strengthened by the n…
Does the magnetic field suppress fragmentation in massive dense cores?
Aina Palau, Qizhou Zhang, Josep M. Girart +15
Theoretical and numerical works indicate that a strong magnetic field should suppress fragmentation in dense cores. However, this has never been tested observationally in a relativ…
Density profile evolution during prestellar core collapse: Collapse starts at the large scale
Gilberto C. Gómez, Enrique Vázquez-Semadeni, Aina Palau
We study the gravitationally-dominated, accretion-driven evolution of a prestellar core. In our model, as the core's density increases, it remains immersed in a constant-density en…
