NH3 Observations of the Infrared Dark Cloud G28.34+0.06
Y. Wang, Q. Zhang, T. Pillai +2
We present observations of the \nh3 (J,K) = (1,1) and (2,2) inversion transitions toward the infrared dark cloud G28.34+0.06, using the Very Large Array. Strong NH3 emission is fou…
Probing the initial conditions of High Mass Star formation -- I. Deuteration and depletion in high mass pre/protocluster clumps
T. Pillai, F. Wyrowski, J. Hatchell +2
UltraCompact HII regions are signposts of high mass star formation. Since high-mass star formation occurs in clusters, one expects to find even earlier phases of massive star forma…
Ammonia in Infrared Dark Clouds
Thushara Pillai, Friedrich Wyrowski, Sean J. Carey +1
Infrared Dark Clouds appear to be the long sought population of cold and dense aggregations with the potential of harbouring the earliest stages of massive star formation. Up to no…
High mass star formation in the infrared dark cloud G11.11-0.12
Thushara Pillai, Friedrich Wyrowski, Karl M. Menten +1
We report detection of moderate to high-mass star formation in an infrared dark cloud (G11.11-0.12) where we discovered class II methanol and water maser emissions at 6.7 GHz and 2…
Initial Conditions for Massive Star Birth -- Infrared Dark Clouds
K. M. Menten, T. Pillai, F. Wyrowski
We summarize the properties of Infrared Dark Clouds, massive, dense, and cool aggregations of interstellar gas and dust that are found througout the Galaxy in projection against th…
