Alignment of dense molecular core morphology and velocity gradients with ambient magnetic fields
A. Pandhi, R. K. Friesen, L. Fissel +15
Studies of dense core morphologies and their orientations with respect to gas flows and the local magnetic field have been limited to only a small sample of cores with spectroscopi…
Structure of the W3A Low Density Foreground Region
Paul F. Goldsmith, William D. Langer, Youngmin Seo +5
We present analysis of OI 63 micron and CO = 5-4 and 8-7 multi-position data in the W3A region and use it to develop a model for the extended low-density foreground gas that pr…
Are massive dense clumps truly sub-virial? A new analysis using Gould Belt ammonia data
Ayushi Singh, Christopher D. Matzner, Rachel K. Friesen +21
Dynamical studies of dense structures within molecular clouds often conclude that the most massive clumps contain too little kinetic energy for virial equilibrium, unless they are…
Probing Polarization and the Role of Magnetic Fields in Cloud Destruction in the Keyhole Nebula
Young Min Seo, C. Darren Dowell, Paul F. Goldsmith +2
We present polarimetric observations of the Keyhole Nebula in the Carina Nebula Complex carried out using the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy. The Keyhole Nebula l…
Relative Alignment between Dense Molecular Cores and Ambient Magnetic Field: The Synergy of Numerical Models and Observations
Che-Yu Chen, Erica A. Behrens, Jasmin E. Washington +26
The role played by magnetic field during star formation is an important topic in astrophysics. We investigate the correlation between the orientation of star-forming cores (as defi…
The Green Bank Ammonia Survey: A Virial Analysis of Gould Belt Clouds in Data Release 1
Ronan Kerr, Helen Kirk, James Di Francesco +14
We perform a virial analysis of starless dense cores in three nearby star-forming regions : L1688 in Ophiuchus, NGC 1333 in Perseus, and B18 in Taurus. Our analysis takes advantage…
