Chemical complexity in star formation induced by stellar feedback: cores shock-formed by the supernova remnant W44
G. Cosentino, I. Jiménez-Serra, F. Fontani +8
Low-velocity shocks from Supernova Remnants (SNRs) may set the physical and chemical conditions of star formation in molecular clouds. Recent evidence suggests that the Sun might h…
CO Depletion in Infrared Dark Clouds
G. Cosentino, J. C. Tan, C. Gainey +10
Infrared Dark Clouds (IRDCs) are cold, dense structures representative of the initial conditions of star formation. Many studies of IRDCs employ CO to investigate cloud dynamics. H…
The complex organic molecular content in the L1517B starless core
Andrés MegÃas, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Jesús MartÃn-Pintado +5
Recent observations of the pre-stellar core L1544 and the younger starless core L1498 have revealed that complex organic molecules (COMs) are enhanced in the gas phase toward their…
Low-velocity large-scale shocks in the infrared dark cloud G035.39-00.33: bubble-driven cloud-cloud collisions
G. Cosentino, I. Jiménez-Serra, R. Liu +7
Low-velocity large-scale shocks impacting on the ISM may efficiently shape molecular clouds and trigger star formation within them. These shocks, both driven by galactic bubbles an…
Interaction between the Supernova Remnant W44 and the Infrared Dark Cloud G034.77-00.55: shock induced star formation?
G. Cosentino, I. Jiménez-Serra, A. T. Barnes +11
How Supernova Remnant (SNR) shocks impact nearby molecular clouds is still poorly observationally constrained. It is unclear if SNRs can positively or negatively affect clouds star…
