BISTRO Survey: Gravity-Dominated and Magnetically Regulated Star Formation in M17 SW
Mengke Zhao, Keping Qiu, Ji-hyun Kang +27
We present high-resolution magnetic field maps of the M17 SW molecular cloud using JCMT 850 m dust polarization at a scale of 14. The magnetic field exhibits a distinct arc…
Magnetic field alignment with dense cores in the transition between cloud and core scales
Sean Yin, Ayush Pandhi, Rachel Friesen +7
In a magnetically-dominated model of star formation, we expect to see alignments between the magnetic field orientation of star-forming dense cores and the cloud-scale magnetic fie…
Introducing SESHAT: A Tool for Object Classification from JWST Catalogs
B. L. Crompvoets, H. Kirk, R. Gutermuth +1
JWST's exquisite data have opened the doors to new possibilities in detecting broad classes of astronomical objects, but also to new challenges in classifying those objects. In thi…
Protostellar Outflows Shed Light on the Dominant Close Companion Star Formation Pathways
Ryan Sponzilli, Leslie Looney, John J. Tobin +11
Understanding the formation pathway for close-companion protostars is central to unraveling the processes that govern stellar multiplicity and very early star formation. We analyze…
How To Use Thermal Dust Continuum Emission To Measure The Physical Properties Of Dusty Astrophysical Objects
Yancy L. Shirley, Jeffrey G. Mangum, Desika Narayanan +1
Dust grains in the interstellar medium interact with photons across the electromagnetic spectrum. They are generally photon energy converters, absorbing short wavelength radiation…
ALMASOP: Inner-Envelope Structures of Protostars Driving Nascent Jets
Somnath Dutta, Chin-Fei Lee, Naomi Hirano +15
Protostellar jets provide valuable insight into the evolutionary stage and formation history of star-forming cores in their earliest phases. We investigated the inner envelope stru…
