Torsionally excited methanol in massive young stellar objects: The role of the mid-IR radiation field
C. Sanna, S. Leurini, A. Giannetti +9
Observing the earliest stages of high-mass star formation in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) is challenging because the extinction is high and the resolution limited. Millimeter vibratio…
Before fragmentation: from uniform clouds to stellar clusters
A. Giannetti, T. Pillai, J. Kauffmann +4
Our study of the early stages of fragmentation in massive clumps has revealed a striking anomaly: of the CoCoA sample exhibit no fragmentation at all. These sources coul…
The Rosetta Stone project. III. ALMA synthetic observations of fragmentation in high-mass star-forming clumps
Alice Nucara, Alessio Traficante, Ugo Lebreuilly +23
The physical mechanisms that regulate the collapse of high-mass parsec-scale clumps and allow them to form clusters of new stars represent a crucial aspect of star formation. To in…
Dual-band Unified Exploration of Three CMZ Clouds (DUET). Cloud-wide census of continuum sources showing low spectral indices
Fengwei Xu, Xing Lu, Ke Wang +19
The Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is measured to form stars 10 times less efficiently than in the Galactic disk, based on emission from high-mass stars. However, the CMZ…
Subclustering and Star Formation Efficiency in Three Protoclusters in the Central Molecular Zone
Suinan Zhang, Xing Lu, Adam Ginsburg +21
We present so far the highest resolution (0.04") ALMA 1.3 mm continuum observations of three massive star-forming clumps in the Central Molecular Zone, namely 20 km s…
ALMA observations of massive clouds in the central molecular zone: slim filaments tracing parsec-scale shocks
Kai Yang, Xing Lu, Yichen Zhang +22
The central molecular zone (CMZ) of our Galaxy exhibits widespread emission from SiO and various complex organic molecules (COMs), yet the exact origin of such emission is uncertai…
