CO observations toward the isolated mid-infrared bubble S44: External triggering of O-star formation by a cloud-cloud collision
Mikito Kohno, Kengo Tachihara, Shinji Fujita +11
We have performed a multi-wavelength study of the mid-infrared bubble S44 to investigate the origin of isolated high-mass star(s) and the star-formation process around the bubble f…
The formation of a Spitzer bubble RCW79 triggered by cloud-cloud collision
Akio Ohama, Mikito Kohno, Keisuke Hasegawa +9
Understanding the mechanism of O star formation is one of the most important issues in current astrophysics. It is also an issue of keen interest how O stars affect their surroundi…
Triggered O star formation in M20 via cloud-cloud collision: Comparisons between high-resolution CO observations and simulations
Kazufumi Torii, Yusuke Hattori, Keisuke Hasegawa +9
High-mass star formation is one of the top-priority issues in astrophysics. Recent observational studies are revealing that cloud-cloud collisions may play a role in high-mass star…
A massive molecular outflow in the dense dust core AGAL G337.916-00.477
Kazufumi Torii, Yusuke Hattori, Keisuke Hasegawa +9
Massive molecular outflows erupting from high-mass young stellar objects provide important clues to understanding the mechanism of high-mass star formation. Based on new CO J=3-2 a…
Cloud-cloud collision as a trigger of the high-mass star formation; a molecular line study in RCW120
K. Torii, K. Hasegawa, Y. Hattori +11
RCW120 is a Galactic HII region having a beautiful ring shape bright in infrared. Our new CO J=1-0 and J=3-2 observations performed with the NANTEN2, Mopra, and ASTE telescopes hav…
Isolating signatures of major cloud-cloud collisions using position-velocity diagrams
T. J. Haworth, E. J. Tasker, Y. Fukui +6
Collisions between giant molecular clouds are a potential mechanism for triggering the formation of massive stars, or even super star clusters. The trouble is identifying this proc…
Molecular Clouds Toward the Super Star Cluster NGC3603; Possible Evidence for a Cloud-Cloud Collision in Triggering the Cluster Formation
Yasuo Fukui, Akio Ohama, Naoki Hanaoka +17
We present new large field observations of molecular clouds with NANTEN2 toward the super star cluster NGC3603 in the transitions 12CO(J=2-1, J=1-0) and 13CO(J=2-1, J=1-0). We sugg…
