SiO emission in the filamentary Infrared Dark Cloud G035.39-00.33: An ALMA view
Rong Liu, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Giuliana Cosentino +8
Filamentary infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) are believed to represent the initial conditions for massive star and cluster formation. We investigate the IRDC G035.39-00.33 using SiO, H…
The Emergence of Prebiotic Chemistry in the ISM
Izaskun Jimenez-Serra, Giuliana Cosentino, Francisco Montenegro-Montes +22
Contrary to popular belief, the interstellar medium (ISM) is not empty; it is filled with atoms, dust particles, and molecules. Some of these molecules may have been the very build…
Chemical complexity in star formation induced by stellar feedback: cores shock-formed by the supernova remnant W44
G. Cosentino, I. Jiménez-Serra, F. Fontani +8
Low-velocity shocks from Supernova Remnants (SNRs) may set the physical and chemical conditions of star formation in molecular clouds. Recent evidence suggests that the Sun might h…
Chemical evolution in high-mass star-forming regions
Francesco Fontani, Maria Teresa Beltrán, Anton Vasyunin
Growing evidence shows that most stars in the Milky Way, including the Sun, are born in high-mass star-forming regions, but due to both observational and theoretical challenges, ou…
ALMAGAL V. Relations between the core populations and the parent clump physical properties
D. Elia, A. Coletta, S. Molinari +54
Context. The fragmentation of massive molecular clumps into smaller, potentially star-forming cores plays a key role in the processes of high-mass star formation. The ALMAGAL proje…
CO Depletion in Infrared Dark Clouds
G. Cosentino, J. C. Tan, C. Gainey +10
Infrared Dark Clouds (IRDCs) are cold, dense structures representative of the initial conditions of star formation. Many studies of IRDCs employ CO to investigate cloud dynamics. H…
CHEMOUT: CHEMical complexity in star-forming regions of the OUTer Galaxy. V. Chemical composition gradients as a function of the galactocentric radius
D. Gigli, F. Fontani, L. Colzi +4
The outer Galaxy is characterized by a lower metallicity than regions near the Sun, suggesting differences in the formation and survival of molecules in star-forming regions. To un…
The GUAPOS project. VI: the chemical inventory of shocked gas
Á. López-Gallifa, V. M. Rivilla, M. T. Beltrán +8
The study of the chemical composition of star-forming regions is key to understanding the chemical ingredients available during the formation of planetary systems. Because the chem…
Low-velocity large-scale shocks in the infrared dark cloud G035.39-00.33: bubble-driven cloud-cloud collisions
G. Cosentino, I. Jiménez-Serra, R. Liu +7
Low-velocity large-scale shocks impacting on the ISM may efficiently shape molecular clouds and trigger star formation within them. These shocks, both driven by galactic bubbles an…
CHemical Evolution in MassIve star-forming COres (CHEMICO). I. Evolution of the temperature structure
F. Fontani, V. M. Rivilla, E. Roueff +8
Increasing evidence shows that most stars in the Milky Way, including the Sun, are born in star-forming regions containing also high-mass stars, but due to both observational and t…
Shaping Galactic Habitability: the impact of stellar migration and gas giants
E. Spitoni, M. Palla, L. Magrini +9
In exoplanet research, the focus is increasingly on identifying Earth analogs, planets similar in density and habitability potential. As the number of rocky exoplanets grows, paral…
FAUST XXVI. The dust opacity spectral indices of protostellar envelopes bridge the gap between interstellar medium and disks
Luca Cacciapuoti, L. Testi, A. J. Maury +36
The sub-millimetre dust opacity spectral index is a critical observable to constrain dust properties, such as the maximum grain size of an observed dust population. It has been wid…
Observations of non complex organic molecules in the gas phase of the interstellar medium
Charlotte Vastel, Francesco Fontani
The field of astrochemistry has seen major advances triggered by the completion of new powerful radio telescopes, with gains in sensitivity of receivers and in bandwidth. As of Jun…
FAUST XXV. A potential new molecular outflow in [BHB2007] 11
A. Martínez-Henares, I. Jiménez-Serra, C. Vastel +26
During the early stages of star formation, accretion processes such as infall from the envelope and molecular streamers, and ejection of matter through winds and jets take place si…
Understanding molecular ratios in the carbon and oxygen poor outer Milky Way with interpretable machine learning
Gijs Vermariën, Serena Viti, Johannes Heyl +1
Context. The outer Milky Way has a lower metallicity than our solar neighbourhood, but still many molecules are detected in the region. Molecular line ratios can serve as probes to…
