An Eccentric Massive Protobinary Assembled via a Core-merger Parabolic Encounter
Yao Wang, Yichen Zhang, Rubén Fedriani +14
Most massive stars form in binary systems, which profoundly influence their subsequent evolution. However, how such systems form remains poorly understood, with several competing s…

Low-Metallicity Star Formation Survey in Sh2-284 (LZ-STAR): The Core Mass Function
Yu Cheng, Jonathan C. Tan, Morten Andersen +4
We present an ALMA 1.3~mm dust continuum study of the dense core mass function (CMF) in Sh2-284, a low metallicity outer Galaxy star-forming complex with --.…
