Continuity of accretion from clumps to Class 0 high-mass protostars in SDC335

A. Avison, G. A. Fuller, N. Peretto +6

The IRDC SDC335.579-0.292 (SDC335) is a massive star-forming cloud found to be globally collapsing towards one of the most massive star forming cores in the Galaxy. SDC335 hosts th…

The SEDIGISM survey: first data release and overview of the Galactic structure

F. Schuller, J. S. Urquhart, T. Csengeri +57

The SEDIGISM (Structure, Excitation and Dynamics of the Inner Galactic Interstellar Medium) survey used the APEX telescope to map 84 deg^2 of the Galactic plane between l = -60 deg…

The SEDIGISM survey: Molecular clouds in the inner Galaxy

A. Duarte-Cabral, D. Colombo, J. S. Urquhart +57

We use the 13CO(2-1) emission from the SEDIGISM high-resolution spectral-line survey of the inner Galaxy, to extract the molecular cloud population with a large dynamic range in sp…

SEDIGISM-ATLASGAL: Dense Gas Fraction and Star Formation Efficiency Across the Galactic Disk

J. S. Urquhart, C. Figura, J. R. Cross +32

By combining two surveys covering a large fraction of the molecular material in the Galactic disk we investigate the role the spiral arms play in the star formation process. We hav…

Simulations of the star-forming molecular gas in an interacting M51-like galaxy: cloud population statistics

Robin G. Tress, Mattia C. Sormani, Rowan J. Smith +5

To investigate how molecular clouds react to different environmental conditions at a galactic scale, we present a catalogue of giant molecular clouds resolved down to masses of $\s…

The Cloud Factory II: Gravoturbulent Kinematics of Resolved Molecular Clouds in a Galactic Potential

Andres F. Izquierdo, Rowan J. Smith, Simon C. O. Glover +6

We present a statistical analysis of the gravoturbulent velocity fluctuations in molecular cloud complexes extracted from our "Cloud Factory" galactic-scale ISM simulation suite. F…

CHIMPS2: Survey description and CO emission in the Galactic Centre

D. J. Eden, T. J. T. Moore, M. J. Currie +103

The latest generation of Galactic-plane surveys is enhancing our ability to study the effects of galactic environment upon the process of star formation. We present the first data…

How do different spiral arm models impact the ISM and GMC population?

Alex R. Pettitt, Clare L. Dobbs, Junichi Baba +4

The nature of galactic spiral arms in disc galaxies remains elusive. Regardless of the spiral model, arms are expected to play a role in sculpting the star-forming interstellar med…

The accretion history of high-mass stars: An ArTéMiS pilot study of Infrared Dark Clouds

N. Peretto, A. Rigby, Ph. André +14

The mass growth of protostars is a central element to the determination of fundamental stellar population properties such as the initial mass function. Constraining the accretion h…
