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…

ALMASOP: Inner-Envelope Structures of Protostars Driving Nascent Jets

Somnath Dutta, Chin-Fei Lee, Naomi Hirano +15

Protostellar jets provide valuable insight into the evolutionary stage and formation history of star-forming cores in their earliest phases. We investigated the inner envelope stru…

The JCMT Gould Belt Survey Complete Core Catalogue: Core mass function variations between nearby molecular clouds

Kate Pattle, James Di Francesco, Jenny Hatchell +14

We present a catalogue of dense cores identified in James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) Gould Belt Survey SCUBA-2 observations of nearby star-forming clouds. We identified 2257 de…

An S-shaped filament formed due to Cloud-Cloud Collision in molecular cloud G178.28-00.61

Tianwei Zhang, Tie Liu, Yuefang Wu +18

We present compelling observational evidence supporting G178.28-00.61 as an early-stage candidate for Cloud-Cloud Collision (CCC), with indications of the formation of an S-shaped…

ALMASOP. A Rotating Feature Rich in Complex Organic Molecules in a Protostellar Core

Shih-Ying Hsu, Chin-Fei Lee, Doug Johnstone +25

Interstellar complex organic molecules (COMs) in solar-like young stellar objects (YSOs), particularly within protostellar disks, are of significant interest due to their potential…

The JCMT BISTRO-3 Survey: Variation of magnetic field orientations on parsec and sub-parsec scales in the massive star-forming region G28.34+0.06

Jihye Hwang, Kate Pattle, Chang Won Lee +35

Magnetic fields play a significant role in star-forming processes on core to clump scales. We investigate magnetic field orientations and strengths in the massive star-forming clum…
