Physical properties of the ambient medium and of dense cores in the Perseus star-forming region derived from Herschel Gould Belt Survey observations

S. Pezzuto, M. Benedettini, J. Di Francesco +20

(Abridged) In this paper, we present analyses of images taken with the Herschel ESA satellite from 70mu to 500mu. We first constructed column density and dust temperature maps. Nex…

How the power spectrum of dust continuum images may hide the presence of a characteristic filament width

Arabindo Roy, Philippe André, Doris Arzoumanian +6

Herschel observations of interstellar clouds support a paradigm for star formation in which filaments play a central role. One of the foundations of this paradigm is the finding, b…

JCMT BISTRO survey: Magnetic Fields within the Hub-Filament Structure in IC 5146

Jia-Wei Wang, Shih-Ping Lai, Chakali Eswaraiah +130

We present the 850 m polarization observations toward the IC5146 filamentary cloud taken using the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array 2 (SCUBA-2) and its associated polar…

Probing accretion of ambient cloud material into the Taurus B211/B213 filament

Y. Shimajiri, Ph. Andre, P. Palmeirim +5

Herschel observations have emphasized the role of molecular filaments in star formation. However, the origin and evolution of these filaments are not yet well understood, partly be…

The unexpectedly large proportion of high-mass star-forming cores in a Galactic mini-starburst

F. Motte, T. Nony, F. Louvet +14

Understanding the processes that determine the stellar Initial Mass Function (IMF) is a critical unsolved problem, with profound implications for many areas of astrophysics. In mol…

The dense cores and filamentary structure of the molecular cloud in Corona Australis. Herschel SPIRE and PACS observations from the Herschel Gould Belt Survey

David Bresnahan, D. Ward-Thompson, J. M. Kirk +16

We present a catalogue of prestellar and starless cores within the Corona Australis molecular cloud using photometric data from the Herschel Space Observatory. At a distance of d~1…

Probing changes of dust properties along a chain of solar-type prestellar and protostellar cores in Taurus with NIKA

A. Bracco, P. Palmeirim, Ph. André +45

The characterization of dust properties in the interstellar medium (ISM) is key for star formation. Mass estimates are crucial to determine gravitational collapse conditions for th…
