Kinematic structure of massive star-forming regions - I. Accretion along filaments

J. Tackenberg, H. Beuther, Th. Henning +8

The mid- and far-infrared view on high-mass star formation, in particular with the results from the Herschel space observatory, has shed light on many aspects of massive star forma…

The earliest phases of star formation - A Herschel key project. The thermal structure of low-mass molecular cloud cores

R. Launhardt, A. M. Stutz, A. Schmiedeke +19

The temperature and density structure of molecular cloud cores are the most important physical quantities that determine the course of the protostellar collapse and the properties…

G048.66-0.29: Physical State of an Isolated Site of Massive Star Formation

Jan Pitann, Hendrik Linz, Sarah Ragan +9

We present continuum observations of the infrared dark cloud (IRDC) G48.66-0.22 (G48) obtained with Herschel, Spitzer, and APEX, in addition to several molecular line observations.…

The Earliest Phases of Star Formation (EPoS): A Herschel Key Program - The precursors to high-mass stars and clusters

Sarah Ragan, Thomas Henning, Oliver Krause +14

(Abridged) We present an overview of the sample of high-mass star and cluster forming regions observed as part of the Earliest Phases of Star Formation (EPoS) Herschel Guaranteed T…

Infrared spectroscopy of intermediate mass young stellar objects

Jan Pitann, Martin Hennemann, Stephan Birkmann +3

In this paper we present Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph spectroscopy for 14 intermediate-mass young stellar objects. We use Spitzer spectroscopy to investigate the physical properti…

Polarisation of very-low-mass stars and brown dwarfs

B. Goldman, J. Pitann, M. R. Zapatero Osorio +4

Ultra-cool dwarfs of the L spectral type (Teff=1400-2200K) are known to have dusty atmospheres. Asymmetries of the dwarf surface may arise from rotationally-induced flattening and…
