On the Three-Dimensional Structure of Local Molecular Clouds

Catherine Zucker, Alyssa Goodman, João Alves +9

We leverage the 1 pc spatial resolution of the Leike et al. 2020 3D dust map to characterize the three-dimensional structure of nearby molecular clouds ( pc). We st…

The Per-Tau Shell: A Giant Star-Forming Spherical Shell Revealed by 3D Dust Observations

Shmuel Bialy, Catherine Zucker, Alyssa Goodman +6

A major question in the field of star formation is how molecular clouds form out of the diffuse Interstellar Medium (ISM). Recent advances in 3D dust mapping are revolutionizing ou…

Are massive dense clumps truly sub-virial? A new analysis using Gould Belt ammonia data

Ayushi Singh, Christopher D. Matzner, Rachel K. Friesen +21

Dynamical studies of dense structures within molecular clouds often conclude that the most massive clumps contain too little kinetic energy for virial equilibrium, unless they are…

The Core Mass Function in the Orion Nebula Cluster Region: What Determines the Final Stellar Masses?

Hideaki Takemura, Fumitaka Nakamura, Shuo Kong +29

Applying dendrogram analysis to the CARMA-NRO CO (=1--0) data having an angular resolution of 8", we identified 692 dense cores in the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) r…

The Oph region revisited with Gaia EDR3

Natalie Grasser, Sebastian Ratzenböck, João Alves +10

Context. Young and embedded stellar populations are important probes of the star formation process. Paradoxically, we have a better census of nearby embedded young populations than…

Evidence for Radial Expansion at the Core of the Orion Complex with Gaia EDR3

Cameren Swiggum, Elena D'Onghia, João Alves +6

We present a phase-space study of two stellar groups located at the core of the Orion complex: Briceño-1 and Orion Belt Population-near (OBP-near). We identify the groups with the…
