Characterizing the properties of cluster precursors in the MALT90 survey
Yanett Contreras, Jill M. Rathborne, Andres Guzman +4
In the Milky Way there are thousands of stellar clusters each harboring from a hundred to a million stars. Although clusters are common, the initial conditions of cluster formation…
A cluster in the making: ALMA reveals the initial conditions for high-mass cluster formation
J. M. Rathborne, S. N. Longmore, J. M. Jackson +9
G0.253+0.016 is a molecular clump that appears to be on the verge of forming a high mass, Arches-like cluster. Here we present new ALMA observations of its small-scale (~0.07 pc) 3…
IN-SYNC II: Virial Stars from Sub-Virial Cores -- The Velocity Dispersion of Embedded Pre-Main-Sequence Stars in NGC 1333
Jonathan B. Foster, Michiel Cottaar, Kevin R. Covey +14
The initial velocity dispersion of newborn stars is a major unconstrained aspect of star formation theory. Using near-infrared spectra obtained with the APOGEE spectrograph, we sho…
ALMA Observations of the IRDC Clump G34.43+00.24 MM3: 278 GHz Class I Methanol Masers
Takahiro Yanagida, Takeshi Sakai, Tomoya Hirota +7
We have observed a molecular clump (MM3) associated with the infrared dark cloud G34.43+00.24 in the CH3OH J_K=9_{-1}--8_0 E, 5_0-4_0 E, and 5_{-1}-4_{-1} E lines at sub-arcsecond…
Absorption Filaments Towards the Massive Clump G0.253+0.016
John Bally, J. M. Rathborne, S. N. Longmore +11
ALMA HCO+ observations of the infrared dark cloud G0.253+0.016 located in the Central Molecular Zone of the Galaxy are presented. The 89 GHz emission is area-filling, optically thi…
Distributed Low-Mass Star Formation in the IRDC G34.43+00.24
Jonathan B. Foster, Héctor G. Arce, Marc Kassis +9
We have used deep near-infrared observations with adaptive optics to discover a distributed population of low-mass protostars within the filamentary Infrared Dark Cloud G34.43+00.2…
