Galactic structure based on the ATLASGAL 870mum survey
H. Beuther, J. Tackenberg, H. Linz +11
The ATLASGAL 870mum continuum survey conducted with the APEX telescope is the first survey covering the whole inner Galactic plane (60deg>l>-60deg & b<1.5deg) in submm continuum em…
The onset of high-mass star formation in the direct vicinity of the galactic mini-starburst W43
H. Beuther, J. Tackenberg, H. Linz +10
Context: The earliest stages of high-mass star formation are still poorly characterized. It is also unknown whether the initial conditions vary with environment. Aims: We want to i…
Mass reservoirs surrounding massive infrared dark clouds: A view by near-infrared dust extinction
J. Kainulainen, J. Alves, H. Beuther +2
Context: Infrared Dark Clouds (IRDCs) harbor progenitors of high-mass stars. Little is known of the parental molecular clouds of the IRDCs. Aims: We demonstrate the feasibility of…
High-mass star formation at high luminosities: W31 at >10^6 L_sun
H. Beuther, H. Linz, Th. Henning +6
Context: High-mass star formation has been a very active field over the last decade, however, most studies targeted regions of luminosities between 10^4 and 10^5 L_sun. Methods: We…
W43: the closest molecular complex of the Galactic Bar?
Q. Nguyen Luong, F. Motte, F. Schuller +9
We used a large database extracted from Galaxy-wide surveys of H {\scriptsize I}, CO 1-0, $8 \micron$ and $870 \micron$ continuum to trace diffuse atomic gas, low- to medium…
