The JCMT Spectral Legacy Survey: physical structure of the molecular envelope of the high-mass protostar AFGL2591
M. H. D. van der Wiel, F. F. S. van der Tak, M. Spaans +4
The understanding of the formation process of massive stars (>8 Msun) is limited, due to theoretical complications and observational challenges. We investigate the physical structu…
Dense molecular gas toward W49A: A template for extragalactic starbursts?
Helen Roberts, Floris van der Tak, Gary Fuller +2
The HCN, HCO+, and HNC molecules are commonly used as tracers of dense star-forming gas in external galaxies, but such observations are spatially unresolved. Reliably inferring the…
Chemical stratification in the Orion Bar: JCMT Spectral Legacy Survey observations
Matthijs H. D. van der Wiel, Floris F. S. van der Tak, Volker Ossenkopf +4
Photon-dominated regions (PDRs) are expected to show a layered structure in molecular abundances and emerging line emission, which is sensitive to the physical structure of the reg…
