Planck cold clumps in the Orionis complex: I. Discovery of an extremely young Class 0 protostellar object and a proto-brown dwarf candidate in a bright rimmed clump PGCC G192.32-11.88

Tie Liu, Qizhou Zhang, Kee-Tae Kim +37

We are performing a series of observations with ground-based telescopes toward Planck Galactic cold clumps (PGCCs) in the Orionis complex in order to systematically investigate…

Local Magnetic Field Role in Star Formation

Patrick M. Koch, Ya-Wen Tang, Paul T. P. Ho +14

We highlight distinct and systematic observational features of magnetic field morphologies in polarized submm dust continuum. We illustrate this with specific examples and show sta…

First-generation Science Cases for Ground-based Terahertz Telescopes

Hiroyuki Hirashita, Patrick M. Koch, Satoki Matsushita +33

Ground-based observations at terahertz (THz) frequencies are a newly explorable area of astronomy for the next ten years. We discuss science cases for a first-generation 10-m class…

Self-similar Fragmentation Regulated by Magnetic Fields in a Massive Star Forming Filament

Hua-bai Li, Ka Ho Yuen, Frank Otto +6

Most molecular clouds are filamentary or elongated. Among those forming low-mass stars, their long axes tend to be either parallel or perpendicular to the large-scale (10-100 pc) m…

Deeply Embedded Protostellar Population in the 20 km s-1 Cloud of the Central Molecular Zone

Xing Lu, Qizhou Zhang, Jens Kauffmann +5

We report the discovery of a population of deeply embedded protostellar candidates in the 20 km s cloud, one of the massive molecular clouds in the Central Molecular Zone (C…

SMA observations of C2H in High-Mass Star Forming Regions

Xue-Jian Jiang, Hauyu Baobab Liu, Qizhou Zhang +5

CH is a representative hydrocarbon that is abundant and ubiquitous in the interstellar medium (ISM). To study its chemical properties, we present Submillimeter Array (SMA) obse…

The distribution of deuterated formaldehyde within Orion-KL

Cecile Favre, Edwin Bergin, Justin Neill +3

We report the first high angular resolution imaging (3.4\arcsec 3.0\arcsec) of deuterated formaldehyde (HDCO) toward Orion--KL, carried out with the Submillimeter Array (S…

Extremely Energetic Outflow and Decelerated Expansion in W49N

Tie Liu, Kee-Tae Kim, Yuefang Wu +10

W49N is a mini-starburst in the Milky Way and thus an ideal laboratory for high-mass star formation studies. Due to its large distance (11.1 kpc), the kinematics in…
