Detection and characterization of a 500 mic dust emissivity excess in the Galactic Plane using Herschel/Hi-GAL observations
D. Paradis, R. Paladini, A. Noriega-Crespo +7
Past and recent observations have revealed unexpected variations in the FIR-mm dust emissivity. In the Herschel spectral range, those are often referred to as a 500μm emission exce…
The G305 star-forming complex: the central star clusters Danks 1 and Danks 2
Ben Davies, J. S. Clark, Christine Trombley +7
The G305 HII complex (G305.4+0.1) is one of the most massive star forming structures yet identified within the Galaxy. It is host to many massive stars at all stages of formation a…
The H_2O southern Galactic Plane Survey (HOPS): I. Techniques and H_2O maser data
A. J. Walsh, S. L. Breen, T. Britton +19
We present first results of the H_2O Southern Galactic Plane Survey (HOPS), using the Mopra radiotelescope with a broad band backend and a beam size of about 2'. We have observed 1…
Clustering Properties of Far-Infrared Sources in Hi-GAL Science Demonstration Phase Fields
N. Billot, E. Schisano, M. Pestalozzi +9
We use a Minimum Spanning Tree algorithm to characterize the spatial distribution of Galactic Far-IR sources and derive their clustering properties. We aim to reveal the spatial im…
Major structures of the inner Galaxy delineated by 6.7-GHz methanol masers
J. A. Green, J. L. Caswell, N. M. McClure-Griffiths +9
We explore the longitude-velocity distribution of 6.7-GHz methanol masers in the context of the inner structure of our Galaxy. We analyse the correlation in velocities within this…
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…
