The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: A First Look at Southern Orion A with SCUBA-2

Steve Mairs, D. Johnstone, H. Kirk +52

We present the JCMT Gould Belt Survey's first look results of the southern extent of the Orion A Molecular Cloud (). Employing a two-step struct…

The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: A First Look at Dense Cores in Orion B

H. Kirk, J. Di Francesco, D. Johnstone +54

We present a first look at the SCUBA-2 observations of three sub-regions of the Orion B molecular cloud: LDN 1622, NGC 2023/2024, and NGC 2068/2071, from the JCMT Gould Belt Legacy…

First detection of CF+ towards a high-mass protostar

S. Fechtenbaum, S. Bontemps, N. Schneider +4

We report the first detection of the J = 1 - 0 (102.6 GHz) rotational lines of CF+ (fluoromethylidynium ion) towards CygX-N63, a young and massive protostar of the Cygnus X region.…

The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: Evidence for radiative heating in Serpens MWC 297 and its influence on local star formation

D. Rumble, J. Hatchell, R. A. Gutermuth +61

We present SCUBA-2 450micron and 850micron observations of the Serpens MWC 297 region, part of the JCMT Gould Belt Survey of nearby star-forming regions. Simulations suggest that r…

The W43-MM1 mini-starburst ridge, a test for star formation efficiency models

Fabien Louvet, Frédérique Motte, Patrick Hennebelle +12

Context: Star formation efficiency (SFE) theories are currently based on statistical distributions of turbulent cloud structures and a simple model of star formation from cores. Th…
