The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: Evidence for radiative heating and contamination in the W40 complex
D. Rumble, J. Hatchell, K. Pattle +55
We present SCUBA-2 450μm and 850μm observations of the W40 complex in the Serpens-Aquila region as part of the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) Gould Belt Survey (GBS) of nearb…
CHIMPS: the CO/CO (J=3-2) Heterodyne Inner Milky Way Plane Survey
A. J. Rigby, T. J. T. Moore, R. Plume +17
We present the CO/CO (J=3-2) Heterodyne Inner Milky Way Plane Survey (CHIMPS) which has been carried out using the Heterodyne Array Receiver Program on the 15 m James…
A possible link between the power spectrum of interstellar filaments and the origin of the prestellar core mass function
A. Roy, Ph. Andre', D. Arzoumanian +17
Two major features of the prestellar CMF are: 1) a broad peak below 1 Msun, presumably corresponding to a mean gravitational fragmentation scale, and 2) a characteristic power-law…
Filaments in the Lupus molecular clouds
M. Benedettini, E. Schisano, S. Pezzuto +19
We have studied the filaments extracted from the column density maps of the nearby Lupus 1, 3, and 4 molecular clouds, derived from photometric maps observed with the Herschel sate…
A census of dense cores in the Aquila cloud complex: SPIRE/PACS observations from the Herschel Gould Belt survey
V. Konyves, Ph. Andre, A. Men'shchikov +29
We present and discuss the results of the Herschel Gould Belt survey observations in a ~11 deg^2 area of the Aquila molecular cloud complex at d~260 pc, imaged with the SPIRE/PACS…
Herschel Observations of the W3 GMC (II): Clues to the Formation of Clusters of High-Mass Stars
A. Rivera-Ingraham, P. G. Martin, D. Polychroni +18
The W3 GMC is a prime target for investigating the formation of high-mass stars and clusters. This second study of W3 within the HOBYS Key Program provides a comparative analysis o…
