Magnetic field alignment with dense cores in the transition between cloud and core scales
Sean Yin, Ayush Pandhi, Rachel Friesen +7
In a magnetically-dominated model of star formation, we expect to see alignments between the magnetic field orientation of star-forming dense cores and the cloud-scale magnetic fie…
Estimating the dense gas mass of molecular clouds using spatially unresolved 3 mm line observations
Antoine Zakardjian, Annie Hughes, Jérôme Pety +28
We aim to develop a new method to infer the sub-beam probability density function (PDF) of H2 column densities and the dense gas mass within molecular clouds using spatially unreso…
The JCMT BISTRO Survey: Unveiling the Magnetic Fields around Galactic Center
Meng-Zhe Yang, Shih-Ping Lai, Janik Karoly +40
We acquired 450 μm and 850 μm dust continuum polarization observations toward the inner region of the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) as part of the B-Fields In Star-Forming Region…
The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: First results from the Corona Australis molecular cloud and evidence of variable dust emissivity indices in the Coronet region
Kate Pattle, David Bresnahan, Derek Ward-Thompson +47
We present 450m and 850m James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) observations of the Corona Australis (CrA) molecular cloud taken as part of the JCMT Gould Belt Legacy Survey…
Applying the Velocity Gradient Technique in NGC 1333: Comparison with Dust Polarization Observations
Archana Soam, Ka Ho Yuen, Ian Stephens +3
Magnetic fields (B-fields) are ubiquitous in the interstellar medium (ISM), and they play an essential role in the formation of molecular clouds and subsequent star formation. Howe…
Quantifying the informativity of emission lines to infer physical conditions in giant molecular clouds. I. Application to model predictions
Lucas Einig, Pierre Palud, Antoine Roueff +29
Observations of ionic, atomic, or molecular lines are performed to improve our understanding of the interstellar medium (ISM). However, the potential of a line to constrain the phy…
