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…

The road toward a full, high resolution Molecular Cloud catalog of the Galaxy

Dario Colombo, Erik Rosolowsky, Adam Ginsburg +2

The statistical description of Giant Molecular Cloud (GMC) properties relies heavily on the performance of automatic identification algorithms, which are often seriously affected b…

Graph-based interpretation of the Molecular Interstellar Medium Segmentation

Dario Colombo, Erik Rosolowsky, Adam Ginsburg +2

We present a generalization of the Giant Molecular Cloud (GMC) identification problem based on cluster analysis. The method we designed, SCIMES (Spectral Clustering for Interstella…

Bipolar HII regions - Morphology and star formation in their vicinity - I - G319.8800.79 and G010.3200.15

L. Deharveng, A. Zavagno, M. R. Samal +9

Our goal is to identify bipolar HII regions and to understand their morphology, their evolution, and the role they play in the formation of new generations of stars. We use the Spi…

The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: First results from the SCUBA-2 observations of the Ophiuchus molecular cloud and a virial analysis of its prestellar core population

K. Pattle, D. Ward-Thompson, J. M. Kirk +59

In this paper we present the first observations of the Ophiuchus molecular cloud performed as part of the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) Gould Belt Survey (GBS) with the SCUB…

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.…

Tightening the belt: Constraining the mass and evolution in SDC335

A. Avison, N. Peretto, G. A. Fuller +3

Recent ALMA observations identified one of the most massive star-forming cores yet observed in the Milky Way; SDC335-MM1, within the infrared dark cloud SDC335.579-0.292. Along wit…
