The Keplerian disk, envelope, and streamers surrounding an early O-type protostar in the Sagittarius C cloud of the Central Molecular Zone
Jixiang Weng, Xing Lu, Yu Cheng +22
Disk-mediated accretion is central to theories of massive star formation, setting the initial conditions for their evolution. Yet observations of Keplerian disks around early O-typ…
ALMA Polarization Study of the Magnetic Fields in Two Massive Clumps in the 20 km s Cloud of the Central Molecular Zone
Yuhua Liu, Xing Lu, Junhao Liu +14
We present the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of linearly polarized 870 m continuum emission at a resolution of 0.2 (20…
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…
Magnetic Fields in Massive Star-forming Regions (MagMaR). V. The Magnetic Field at the Onset of High-mass Star Formation
Patricio Sanhueza, Junhao Liu, Kaho Morii +36
A complete understanding of the initial conditions of high-mass star formation and what processes determine multiplicity require the study of the magnetic field (B-field) in young,…
ALMA Observations of Massive Clouds in the Central Molecular Zone: External-Pressure-Confined Dense Cores and Salpeter-like Core Mass Functions
Zhenying Zhang, Xing Lu, Tie Liu +25
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Band 6 (1.3 mm) observations of dense cores in three massive molecular clouds within the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ)…
The magnetic field in quiescent star-forming filament G16.96+0.27
Qi-Lao Gu, Tie Liu, Zhi-Qiang Shen +20
We present 850 μm thermal dust polarization observations with a resolution of 14.4"(~ 0.13 pc) towards an infrared dark cloud G16.96+0.27 using JCMT/POL-2. The average magnetic fi…
