Kinematics of HI Envelopes Associated with Molecular Clouds
Thummim Mekuria, Nia Imara
We investigate the evolution of molecular clouds through the kinematics of their atomic hydrogen (HI) envelopes, using and 21-cm emission to trace the molecular…
The Global Structure of Molecular Clouds: I. Trends with Mass and Star Formation Rate
Nia Imara, John C. Forbes
We introduce a model for the large-scale, global 3D structure of molecular clouds. Motivated by the morphological appearance of clouds in surface density maps, we model clouds as c…
Hyperion: The origin of the stars A far-UV space telescope for high-resolution spectroscopy over wide fields
Erika Hamden, David Schiminovich, Shouleh Nikzad +30
We present Hyperion, a mission concept recently proposed to the December 2021 NASA Medium Explorer announcement of opportunity. Hyperion explores the formation and destruction of m…
Touching the Stars: Using High-Resolution 3D Printing to Visualize Stellar Nurseries
Nia Imara, John C. Forbes, James C. Weaver
Owing to their intricate variable density architecture, and as a principal site of star formation, molecular clouds represent one of the most functionally significant, yet least un…
M51-ULS-1b: The First Candidate for a Planet in an External Galaxy
R. Di Stefano, Julia Berndtsson, Ryan Urquhart +4
Do external galaxies host planetary systems? Many lines of reasoning suggest that the answer must be 'yes'. In the foreseeable future, however, the question cannot be answered by t…
A Prospective ISRO-CfA Himalayan Sub-millimeter-wave Observatory Initiative
T. K. Sridharan, Shmuel Bialy, Raymond Blundell +20
The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), a member of the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard and Smithsonian, is in discussions with the Space Applications Centre (SAC) of th…
