The Nature of the Dense Core Population in the Pipe Nebula: Thermal Cores Under Pressure
Charles J. Lada, August A. Muench, Jill M. Rathborne +2
In this paper we present the results of a systematic investigation of an entire population of starless dust cores within a single molecular cloud. Analysis of extinction data shows…
The nature of the dense core population in the pipe nebula: core and cloud kinematics from C18O observations
August A. Muench, Charles J. Lada, Jill M. Rathborne +2
We present molecular-line observations of 94 dark cloud cores identified in the Pipe nebula through near-IR extinction mapping. Using the Arizona Radio Observatory 12m telescope, w…
The nature of the dense core population in the Pipe Nebula: A survey of NH3, CCS, and HC5N molecular line emission
J. M. Rathborne, C. J. Lada, A. A. Muench +2
Recent extinction studies of the Pipe Nebula (d=130 pc) reveal many cores spanning a range in mass from 0.2 to 20.4 Msun. These dense cores were identified via their high extinctio…
The Infrared Extinction Law at Extreme Depth in a Dark Cloud Core
C. Román-Zúñiga, C. Lada, A. Muench +1
We combined sensitive near-infrared data obtained with ground-based imagers on the ESO NTT and VLT telescopes with space mid-infrared data acquired with the IRAC imager on the Spit…
A Spitzer census of the IC 348 nebula
August A. Muench, Charles J. Lada, K. L. Luhman +2
We present a Spitzer based census of the IC 348 nebula and embedded star cluster. Our Spitzer census supplemented by ground based spectra has added 42 class II T-Tauri sources to t…
