The TOP-SCOPE Survey of Planck Galactic Cold Clumps: Molecular gas properties
Yuebin Yang, Jarken Esimbek, Tie Liu +11
We surveyed 2008 Planck Galactic Cold Clumps (PGCCs) in and --0 lines using the Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory (TRAO) 14 m telescope'…
Shared star formation in the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds
Xunchuan Liu, Yu Cheng
We investigate the structural and evolutionary similarities between star formation patterns in different environments by comparing the dense clump populations in the Milky Way (MW)…
Evolution of starless cores in massive clumps seen by the ALMA ASHES and QUARKS surveys
Dongting Yang, Hong-li Liu, Sheng-li Qin +28
We present a systematic comparative analysis of 324 starless cores in early-phase infrared-dark clouds (IRDCs; ASHES survey) and evolved-phase infrared-bright clouds (IRBCs; QUARKS…
PMO Polaris CO survey. II. Where is the dust?
Xunchuan Liu, Bing Gang Ju, Fujun Du +10
Dust plays critical chemical and dynamical roles in the interstellar medium (ISM), but its specific association with molecular and atomic gas remains difficult to isolate. Combinin…
PMO Polaris CO survey. I. A 100 deg view of the Polaris Flare
Xunchuan Liu, Bing-Gang Ju, Fujun Du +10
Large-area CO surveys are essential for studying molecular cloud dynamics and evolution; however, most have focused on the Galactic plane, leaving high-latitude clouds less explore…
HOTDISK. Finding Massive Protostellar Disks with Water and Refractory Molecular Species
Kai Yang, Yichen Zhang, Kei E. I. Tanaka +16
We present high-angular-resolution (, au) ALMA Band~6 observations from the HOTDISK project (Hot-Origin Tracer survey of DISKs of massive pro…
