Magnetic Fields in the Bones of the Milky Way
Ian W. Stephens, Simon Coude, Philip C. Myers +20
Stars primarily form in galactic spiral arms within dense, filamentary molecular clouds. The largest and most elongated of these molecular clouds are referred to as ``bones," which…
Gravitational Binding and Star Formation in Molecular Clouds of the Milky Way
Philip C. Myers, Mark Heyer, Ian W. Stephens +3
The gravitational binding and star-forming properties of molecular clouds (MCs) in the Milky Way (MW) are estimated from CO cloud observations and from a model of pressure-bounded…
Tracers of the ionization fraction in dense and translucent molecular gas: II. Using mm observations to constrain ionization fraction across Orion B
Ivana Bešlić, Maryvonne Gerin, Viviana V. Guzmán +28
The ionization fraction () is a crucial parameter of interstellar gas, yet estimating it requires deep knowledge of molecular gas chemistry…
Magnetic Fields in the Pillars of Creation
Adwitiya Sarkar, Leslie W. Looney, Marc W. Pound +7
Due to dust grain alignment with magnetic fields, dust polarization observations of far-infrared emission from cold molecular clouds are often used to trace magnetic fields, allowi…
The JCMT BISTRO-3 Survey: Variation of magnetic field orientations on parsec and sub-parsec scales in the massive star-forming region G28.34+0.06
Jihye Hwang, Kate Pattle, Chang Won Lee +35
Magnetic fields play a significant role in star-forming processes on core to clump scales. We investigate magnetic field orientations and strengths in the massive star-forming clum…
Beetroots: spatially-regularized Bayesian inference of physical parameter maps -- Application to Orion
Pierre Palud, Emeric Bron, Pierre Chainais +28
The current generation of millimeter receivers is able to produce cubes of 800 000 pixels by 200 000 frequency channels to cover several square degrees over the 3 mm atmospheric wi…
