The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: First results from the Corona Australis molecular cloud and evidence of variable dust emissivity indices in the Coronet region

Kate Pattle, David Bresnahan, Derek Ward-Thompson +47

We present 450m and 850m James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) observations of the Corona Australis (CrA) molecular cloud taken as part of the JCMT Gould Belt Legacy Survey (G…

Characteristic scale of star formation. I. Clump formation efficiency on local scales

D. J. Eden, T. J. T. Moore, R. Plume +12

We have used the ratio of column densities (CDR) derived independently from the 850-m continuum JCMT Plane Survey (JPS) and the CO/CO Heterodyne Inner Mi…

HII regions and high-mass starless clump candidates I: Catalogs and properties

S. Zhang, A. Zavagno, J. Yuan +6

The role of ionization feedback on high-mass (>8 Msun) star formation (HMSF) is still highly debated. Questions remain concerning the presence of nearby HII regions changes the pro…

RCW 120: A possible case of hit and run, elucidated by multi temperature dust mapping

K. A. Marsh, A. P. Whitworth

We present resolution-enhanced images of warm dust at multiple temperatures and opacity index values in the star-forming bubble/HII region, RCW 120. The image set, representing a 4…

Dust in the Eye of Andromeda

K. A. Marsh, A. P. Whitworth, M. W. L. Smith +2

We present new Herschel-derived images of warm dust in the Andromeda Galaxy, M31, with unprecedented spatial resolution (~ 30 pc), column density accuracy, and constraints on the t…

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…
