ALMA-IMF XXII. Role of core subfragmentation in the IMF origin: Hierarchical fragmentation cascade and CMF in W43-MM1
F. Motte, N. Le Nestour, R. Veyry +29
We aim to predict how the currently observed top-heavy CMF in the massive protocluster W43-MM1 evolves due to core subfragmentation. We used getsf to extract sources in 5 ALMA imag…
ALMA-IMF XVII -- Census and lifetime of high-mass prestellar cores in 14 massive protoclusters
M. Valeille-Manet, S. Bontemps, T. Csengeri +24
High-mass prestellar cores are extremely rare. The search for such objects has long been hindered by small sample sizes, leading to large uncertainties in their lifetimes and the c…
ALMA-IMF XVI: Mass-averaged temperature of cores and protostellar luminosities in the ALMA-IMF protoclusters
F. Motte, Y. Pouteau, T. Nony +34
ALMA-IMF imaged 15 massive protoclusters down to a resolution of of 2 kau scales, identifying about 1000 star-forming cores. The mass and luminosity of these cores, which are funda…
ALMA-IMF XV: The core mass function in the high-mass star-formation regime
F. Louvet, P. Sanhueza, A. Stutz +38
The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is critical to our understanding of star formation and the effects of young stars on their environment. On large scales, it enables us to us…
ALMA-IMF XII: Point-process mapping of 15 massive protoclusters
P. Dell'Ova, F. Motte, A. Gusdorf +29
A crucial aspect in addressing the challenge of measuring the core mass function, that is pivotal for comprehending the origin of the initial mass function, lies in constraining th…
Discovery of a dormant 33 solar-mass black hole in pre-release Gaia astrometry
Gaia Collaboration, P. Panuzzo, T. Mazeh +412
Gravitational waves from black-hole merging events have revealed a population of extra-galactic BHs residing in short-period binaries with masses that are higher than expected base…
