Early stages of cluster formation: fragmentation of massive dense cores down to ~1000 AU
Aina Palau, Asunción Fuente, Josep M. Girart +11
In order to study the fragmentation of massive dense cores, which constitute the cluster cradles, we observed with the PdBI in the most extended configuration the continuum at 1.3…
Different evolutionary stages in massive star formation. Centimeter continuum and H2O maser emission with ATCA
A. Sanchez-Monge, M. T. Beltran, R. Cesaroni +5
We present ATCA observations of the H2O maser line and radio continuum at 18.0GHz and 22.8GHz, toward a sample of 192 massive star forming regions containing several clumps already…
Complex, Quiescent Kinematics in a Highly Filamentary Infrared Dark Cloud
Jonathan D. Henshaw, Paola Caselli, Francesco Fontani +3
Infrared Dark Clouds (IRDCs) host the initial conditions under which massive stars and stellar clusters form. We have obtained high sensitivity and high spectral resolution observa…
A Virialized Filamentary Infrared Dark Cloud
Audra K. Hernandez, Jonathan C. Tan, Jouni Kainulainen +4
The initial conditions of massive star and star cluster formation are expected to be cold, dense and high column density regions of the interstellar medium, which can reveal themse…
Close encounters of the protostellar kind in IC 1396N
M. T. Beltran, F. Massi, F. Fontani +2
We have mapped in the 2.7 mm continuum and 12CO with the PdBI the IR-dark "tail" that crosses the IC 1396N globule from south to north, and is the most extincted part of this cloud…
High CO depletion in southern infrared-dark clouds
F. Fontani, A. Giannetti, M. T. Beltran +5
Infrared-dark high-mass clumps are among the most promising objects to study the initial conditions of the formation process of high-mass stars and rich stellar clusters. In this w…
