Gas-phase CO depletion and N2H+ abundances in starless cores
N. Lippok, R. Launhardt, D. Semenov +10
Seven isolated, nearby low-mass starless molecular cloud cores have been observed as part of the Herschel key program Earliest Phases of Star formation (EPoS). By applying a ray-tr…
Andromeda's Dust
B. T. Draine, G. Aniano, Oliver Krause +10
Spitzer Space Telescope and Herschel Space Observatory imaging of M31 is used, with a physical dust model, to construct maps of dust surface density, dust-to-gas ratio, starlight h…
Dusty OB stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud - II: Extragalactic Disks or Examples of the Pleiades Phenomenon?
Joshua J. Adams, Joshua D. Simon, Alberto D. Bolatto +6
We use mid-infrared Spitzer spectroscopy and far-infrared Herschel photometry for a sample of twenty main sequence O9--B2 stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) with strong 24 m…
Fragmentation and dynamical collapse of the starless high-mass star-forming region IRDC18310-4
H. Beuther, H. Linz, J. Tackenberg +9
Aims: We study the fragmentation and dynamical properties of a massive starless gas clump at the onset of high-mass star formation. Methods: Based on Herschel continuum data we ide…
The earliest phases of star formation - A Herschel key project. The thermal structure of low-mass molecular cloud cores
R. Launhardt, A. M. Stutz, A. Schmiedeke +19
The temperature and density structure of molecular cloud cores are the most important physical quantities that determine the course of the protostellar collapse and the properties…
G048.66-0.29: Physical State of an Isolated Site of Massive Star Formation
Jan Pitann, Hendrik Linz, Sarah Ragan +9
We present continuum observations of the infrared dark cloud (IRDC) G48.66-0.22 (G48) obtained with Herschel, Spitzer, and APEX, in addition to several molecular line observations.…
