The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: First results from SCUBA-2 observations of the Cepheus Flare Region

Kate Pattle, Derek Ward-Thompson, Jason M. Kirk +57

We present observations of the Cepheus Flare obtained as part of the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) Gould Belt Legacy Survey (GBLS) with the SCUBA-2 instrument. We produce a…

Tracing extended low-velocity shocks through SiO emission - Case study of the W43-MM1 ridge

F. Louvet, F. Motte. A. Gusdorf, Q. Nguyen-Luong +7

Previous literature suggests that the densest structures in the interstellar medium form through colliding flows, but patent evidence of this process is still missing. Recent liter…

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: Evidence for Dust Grain Evolution in Perseus Star-forming Clumps

Michael Chun-Yuan Chen, J. Di Francesco, D. Johnstone +56

The dust emissivity spectral index, , is a critical parameter for deriving the mass and temperature of star-forming structures, and consequently their gravitational stability. T…

The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: Evidence for radiative heating and contamination in the W40 complex

D. Rumble, J. Hatchell, K. Pattle +55

We present SCUBA-2 450μm and 850μm observations of the W40 complex in the Serpens-Aquila region as part of the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) Gould Belt Survey (GBS) of nearb…

Globules and Pillars in Cygnus X I. Herschel Far-infrared imaging of the Cyg OB2 environment

N. Schneider, S. Bontemps, F. Motte +21

The radiative feedback of massive stars on molecular clouds creates pillars, globules and other features at the interface between the HII region and molecular cloud. We present her…

What can simulated molecular clouds tell us about real molecular clouds?

A. Duarte-Cabral, C. L. Dobbs

We study the properties of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) from a smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulation of a portion of a spiral galaxy, modelled at high resolution, with robust…

Star formation in infrared dark clouds: Self-gravity and dynamics

Nicolas Peretto, Mathilde Gaudel, Fabien Louvet +3

The role played by gravity in the transfer of interstellar matter from molecular cloud scales to protostellar scales is still highly debated. Only detailed studies on the kinematic…
