A measurement of the turbulence-driven density distribution in a non-star-forming molecular cloud
Adam Ginsburg, Christoph Federrath, Jeremy Darling
Molecular clouds are supersonically turbulent. This turbulence governs the initial mass function and the star formation rate. In order to understand the details of star formation,…
Early stage massive star formation near the Galactic Center: Sgr C
Sarah Kendrew, Adam Ginsburg, Katharine Johnston +4
We present near-infrared spectroscopy and 1 mm line and continuum observations of a recently identified site of high mass star formation likely to be located in the Central Molecul…
The Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey. X. A Complete Spectroscopic Catalog of Dense Molecular Gas Observed toward 1.1 mm Dust Continuum Sources with 7.5 <= l <= 194 degrees
Yancy L. Shirley, Timothy P. Ellsworth-Bowers, Brian Svoboda +10
The Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey (BGPS) is a 1.1 mm continuum survey of dense clumps of dust throughout the Galaxy covering 170 square degrees. We present spectroscopic observatio…
Astropy: A Community Python Package for Astronomy
The Astropy Collaboration, Thomas P. Robitaille, Erik J. Tollerud +42
We present the first public version (v0.2) of the open-source and community-developed Python package, Astropy. This package provides core astronomy-related functionality to the com…
The Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey IX: Data Release 2 and Outer Galaxy Extension
Adam Ginsburg, Jason Glenn, Erik Rosolowsky +9
We present a re-reduction and expansion of the Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey, first presented by Aguirre et al. (2011) and Rosolowsky et al. (2010). The BGPS is a 1.1 mm survey of…
The Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey. VIII. A Mid-Infrared Kinematic Distance Discrimination Method
Timothy P. Ellsworth-Bowers, Jason Glenn, Erik Rosolowsky +6
We present a new distance estimation method for dust-continuum-identified molecular cloud clumps. Recent (sub-)millimeter Galactic plane surveys have cataloged tens of thousands of…
