A tool of Hierarchical cOre ideNtification and Kinematic property AssIgnment (HONKAI) for Dense Cores
Jiawei Liu, Zhiyuan Ren, Di Li +8
Infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) contains cold dense gas at the earliest stage of massive star and cluster formation. In studying the IRDCs, a universal and fundamental task is to reso…
Deep Andromeda JCMT-SCUBA2 Observations. The Submillimeter Maps and Giant Molecular Clouds
Sihan Jiao, Jingwen Wu, Hauyu Baobab Liu +23
We have carried out unprecedentedly deep, nearly confusion-limited JCMT-SCUBA2 mapping observations on the nearest spiral galaxy, M31 (Andromeda). The 850 m image with a …
Why is the Star Formation Rate Proportional to Dense Gas Mass?
Sihan Jiao, Fengwei Xu, Hauyu Baobab Liu +14
One of the most profound empirical laws of star formation is the Gao-Solomon relation, a linear correlation between the star formation rate (SFR) and the dense molecular gas mass.…
Ring or no ring -- Revisiting the Multiphase Nuclear Environment in M31
Zongnan Li, Zhao Su, Sumin Wang +9
Nuclear rings, prevalent in barred galaxies, are essential to understanding gas transport toward galactic nuclei. However, the peculiar nuclear ring in our neighboring galaxy M31 r…
