Widespread SiO and CH3OH emission in Filamentary Infrared Dark Clouds

G. Cosentino, I. Jimenez-Serra, J. D. Henshaw +6

Infrared-Dark Clouds (IRDCs) are cold, dense regions of high (optical and infrared) extinction, believed to be the birthplace of high-mass stars and stellar clusters. The physical…

Star formation in a high-pressure environment: An SMA view of the Galactic centre dust ridge

D. L. Walker, S. N. Longmore, Q. Zhang +14

The star formation rate in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is an order of magnitude lower than predicted according to star formation relations that have been calibrated in the dis…

15N Fractionation in Infrared-Dark Cloud Cores

S. Zeng, I. Jimenez-Serra, G. Cosentino +6

Nitrogen is one of the most abundant elements in the Universe and its 14N/15N isotopic ratio has the potential to provide information about the initial environment in which our Sun…

Star formation rates and efficiencies in the Galactic Centre

A. T. Barnes, S. N. Longmore, C. Battersby +4

The inner few hundred parsecs of the Milky Way harbours gas densities, pressures, velocity dispersions, an interstellar radiation field and a cosmic ray ionisation rate orders of m…

H2O Southern Galactic Plane Survey (HOPS): Paper III - Properties of Dense Molecular Gas across the Inner Milky Way

S. N. Longmore, A. J. Walsh, C. R. Purcell +22

The H2O Southern Galactic Plane Survey (HOPS) has mapped 100 square degrees of the Galactic plane for water masers and thermal molecular line emission using the 22-m Mopra telescop…
