Autonomous Gaussian decomposition of the Galactic Ring Survey. I. Global statistics and properties of the 13CO emission data
M. Riener, J. Kainulainen, H. Beuther +3
The analysis of large molecular line surveys of the Galactic plane is essential for our understanding of the gas kinematics on Galactic scales, in particular its link with the form…
The lifecycle of molecular clouds in nearby star-forming disc galaxies
Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Alexander P. S. Hygate +29
It remains a major challenge to derive a theory of cloud-scale ( pc) star formation and feedback, describing how galaxies convert gas into stars as a function of the g…
The Gas-Star Formation Cycle in Nearby Star-Forming Galaxies I. Assessment of Multi-scale Variations
Eva Schinnerer, Annie Hughes, Adam Leroy +21
The processes regulating star formation in galaxies are thought to act across a hierarchy of spatial scales. To connect extragalactic star formation relations from global and kpc-s…
A Census of Early Phase High-Mass Star Formation in the Central Molecular Zone
Xing Lu, Elisabeth A. C. Mills, Adam Ginsburg +13
We present new observations of C-band continuum emission and masers to assess high-mass (8 ) star formation at early evolutionary phases in the inner 200 pc of the Cent…
Interstellar Plunging Waves: ALMA resolves the physical structure of non-stationary MHD shocks
Giuliana Cosentino, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Paola Caselli +6
Magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) shocks are violent events that inject large amounts of energy in the interstellar medium (ISM) dramatically modifying its physical properties and chemica…
GaussPy+: A fully automated Gaussian decomposition package for emission line spectra
Manuel Riener, Jouni Kainulainen, Jonathan D. Henshaw +3
Our understanding of the dynamics of the interstellar medium is informed by the study of the detailed velocity structure of emission line observations. One approach to study the ve…
Young massive star cluster formation in the Galactic Centre is driven by global gravitational collapse of high-mass molecular clouds
A. T. Barnes, S. N. Longmore, A. Avison +19
Young massive clusters (YMCs) are the most compact, high-mass stellar systems still forming at the present day. The precursor clouds to such systems are, however, rare due to their…
'The Brick' is not a brick: A comprehensive study of the structure and dynamics of the Central Molecular Zone cloud G0.253+0.016
J. D. Henshaw, A. Ginsburg, T. J. Haworth +19
In this paper we provide a comprehensive description of the internal dynamics of G0.253+0.016 (a.k.a. 'the Brick'); one of the most massive and dense molecular clouds in the Galaxy…
The dynamical evolution of molecular clouds near the Galactic Centre - II. Spatial structure and kinematics of simulated clouds
J. M. D. Kruijssen, J. E. Dale, S. N. Longmore +16
The evolution of molecular clouds in galactic centres is thought to differ from that in galactic discs due to a significant influence of the external gravitational potential. We pr…
