SiO emission in the filamentary Infrared Dark Cloud G035.39-00.33: An ALMA view
Rong Liu, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Giuliana Cosentino +8
Filamentary infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) are believed to represent the initial conditions for massive star and cluster formation. We investigate the IRDC G035.39-00.33 using SiO, H…

Network of velocity-coherent filaments formed by supersonic turbulence in a very-high-velocity HI cloud
Xunchuan Liu, Tie Liu, Pak-Shing Li +17
The warm neutral medium (WNM) was thought to be subsonically/transonically turbulent, and it lacks a network of intertwined filaments that are commonly seen in both molecular cloud…

Core mass function in view of fractal and turbulent filaments and fibers
Xunchuan Liu, Tie Liu, Xiaofeng Mai +5
We propose that the core mass function (CMF) can be driven by filament fragmentation. To model a star-forming system of filaments and fibers, we develop a fractal and turbulent tre…
