Properties of the cores and filaments in the Ophiuchus molecular cloud and its L1688 hub-filament system

Bo-Sheng Jia, Guo-Yin Zhang, Alexander Menshchikov +9

Analyzing filaments and cores in molecular clouds is key to understanding galactic star formation and its environmental dependence. This paper studies the properties and distributi…

ALMA-IMF XVI: Mass-averaged temperature of cores and protostellar luminosities in the ALMA-IMF protoclusters

F. Motte, Y. Pouteau, T. Nony +34

ALMA-IMF imaged 15 massive protoclusters down to a resolution of of 2 kau scales, identifying about 1000 star-forming cores. The mass and luminosity of these cores, which are funda…

ALMA-IMF XV: The core mass function in the high-mass star-formation regime

F. Louvet, P. Sanhueza, A. Stutz +38

The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is critical to our understanding of star formation and the effects of young stars on their environment. On large scales, it enables us to us…

ALMA-IMF XII: Point-process mapping of 15 massive protoclusters

P. Dell'Ova, F. Motte, A. Gusdorf +29

A crucial aspect in addressing the challenge of measuring the core mass function, that is pivotal for comprehending the origin of the initial mass function, lies in constraining th…

Herschel Gould Belt Survey in Taurus. II: A census of dense cores and filaments in the TMC1 region

Jason Kirk, Derek Ward-Thompson, James Di Francesco +12

We present a catalogue of dense cores and filaments in a field around the TMC1 region of the Taurus Molecular Cloud. The catalogue was created using…

ALMA-IMF X -- The core population in the evolved W33-Main (G012.80) protocluster

M. Armante, A. Gusdorf, F. Louvet +21

We aimed to measure the CMF in the evolved W33-Main star-forming protocluster to compare it with CMF recently obtained in other Galactic star-forming regions, including the ones in…
