Observations of DNC and DCO toward the -shaped Filament and Starless Cores in the Orion Molecular Clouds
Ken'ichi Tatematsu, Atsushi Nishimura, Hideo Ogawa +25
Although the deuterium fraction is known to be a powerful evolutionary tracer, its variation within individual molecular cloud cores is still poorly understood. The northern …
MAJORS II: HCO+& HCN Abundances in W40
René Plume, David J. Eden, Malcolm J. Currie +34
We present observations of HCN and HCO J = in the central region of the W40 massive star forming region. The observations were taken as part of a p…
Backlighting young stellar objects in the Central Molecular Zone: an ensemble-averaged abundance structure of methanol ices
Yewon Kang, Deokkeun An, Jiwon Han +5
The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) contains a substantial reservoir of dense molecular gas, where numerous young stellar objects (YSOs) and dense cloud cores have been identified. Ho…
Unveiling Central ortho-H2D+ Depletion at Sub-kau Scales in Prestellar Core G205.46-14.56M3: The First Interferometric Evidence and Implications for Deuterium Chemistry
Sheng-Jun Lin, Sheng-Yuan Liu, Dipen Sahu +8
Prestellar cores represent the initial conditions of star formation, but heavy molecules such as CO are strongly depleted in their cold, dense interiors, limiting the ability to pr…
FIRESTORM I: Stellar Feedback and Gas Kinematics in the Evolved W40 Hub-Filament System
Ming-Kang Lim, Ram K. Yadav, L. K. Dewangan +12
The FIRESTORM project--Feedback-Induced Regions and Emission from Star-forming Tracers of ObseRvable Molecular Gas--has targeted four star-forming regions to quantify the impact of…
Ubiquity of Methanol and its related Chemical Segregation in Orion Starless Cores: the ALMASOP Sample
Shih-Ying Hsu, Sheng-Yuan Liu, Xunchuan Liu +8
Complex organic molecules (COMs) in starless cores provide critical insights into the early stages of star formation and prebiotic chemistry. We present a chemical survey of 16 sta…
