ALMAGAL V. Relations between the core populations and the parent clump physical properties
D. Elia, A. Coletta, S. Molinari +54
Context. The fragmentation of massive molecular clumps into smaller, potentially star-forming cores plays a key role in the processes of high-mass star formation. The ALMAGAL proje…

A. Coletta, S. Molinari, E. Schisano +49
The mechanisms behind the fragmentation of high-mass dense clumps into compact star-forming cores are fundamental topics in current astrophysical research. The ALMAGAL survey provi…
How do supernova remnants cool? II. Machine learning analysis of supernova remnant simulations
P. Smirnova, E. I. Makarenko, S. D. Clarke +4
About 15%-60% of all supernova remnants are estimated to interact with dense molecular clouds. In these high density environments, radiative losses are significant. The cooling rad…

GMF G214.5-1.8 as traced by CO: I -- cloud-scale CO freeze-out as a result of a low cosmic-ray ionisation rate
S. D. Clarke, V. A. Makeev, Á. Sánchez-Monge +6
We present an analysis of the outer Galaxy giant molecular filament (GMF) G214.5-1.8 (G214.5) using IRAM 30m data of CO, CO and CO. We find that the CO…
Unravelling the structure of magnetised molecular clouds with SILCC-Zoom: sheets, filaments and fragmentation
S. Ganguly, S. Walch, D. Seifried +2
To what extent magnetic fields affect how molecular clouds (MCs) fragment and create dense structures is an open question. We present a numerical study of cloud fragmentation using…
Unveiling the formation of the massive DR21 ridge
L. Bonne, S. Bontemps, N. Schneider +10
We present new CO(1-0), CO(1-0), HCO(1-0) and HCO(1-0) maps from the IRAM 30m telescope, and a spectrally-resolved [CII] 158 m map observed with…
How do supernova remnants cool? -- I. Morphology, optical emission lines, and shocks
Ekaterina I. Makarenko, Stefanie Walch, Seamus D. Clarke +4
Supernovae (SNe) inject erg in the interstellar medium, thereby shocking and heating the gas. A substantial fraction of this energy is later lost via radiative cooli…
A Herschel study of G214.5-1.8: a young, cold and quiescent giant molecular filament on the shell of a HI superbubble
S. D. Clarke, A. Sanchez-Monge, G. M. Williams +3
We present an analysis of the outer Galaxy giant molecular filament (GMF) G214.5-1.8 (G214.5) using Herschel data. We find that G214.5 has a mass of 16,000 M, yet…
RJ-plots: An improved method to classify structures objectively
Seamus D. Clarke, Sarah E. Jaffa, Anthony P. Whitworth
The interstellar medium is highly structured, presenting a range of morphologies across spatial scales. The large data sets resulting from observational surveys and state-of-the-ar…
Understanding star formation in molecular clouds IV. Column density PDFs from quiescent to massive molecular clouds
N. Schneider, V. Ossenkopf-Okada, S. Clarke +26
We present N-PDFs of 29 Galactic regions obtained from Herschel imaging at high angular resolution, covering diffuse and quiescent clouds, and those showing low-, intermediate-, an…
From Bubbles and Filaments to Cores and Disks: Gas Gathering and Growth of Structure Leading to the Formation of Stellar Systems
Jaime E. Pineda, Doris Arzoumanian, Philippe André +8
The study of the development of structures on multiple scales in the cold interstellar medium has experienced rapid expansion in the past decade, on both the observational and the…
SILCC-Zoom: the dynamic balance in molecular cloud substructures
S. Ganguly, S. Walch, S. D. Clarke +1
How molecular clouds fragment and create the dense structures which go on to form stars is an open question. We investigate the relative importance of different energy terms (kinet…
Protostellar Outflows: a window to the past
P. F. Rohde, S. Walch, D. Seifried +2
During the early phases of low-mass star formation, episodic accretion causes the ejection of high-velocity outflow bullets, which carry a fossil record of the driving protostar's…
Synthetic CO emission and the factor of young molecular clouds: a convergence study
Elisabeth M. A. Borchert, Stefanie Walch, Daniel Seifried +3
The properties of synthetic CO emission from 3D simulations of forming molecular clouds are studied within the SILCC-Zoom project. Since the time scales of cloud evolution and mole…
Formation of the Musca filament: Evidence for asymmetries in the accretion flow due to a cloud-cloud collision

The impact of episodic outflow feedback on stellar multiplicity and the star formation efficiency
P. F. Rohde, S. Walch, S. D. Clarke +3
The accretion of material onto young protostars is accompanied by the launching of outflows. Observations show that accretion, and therefore also outflows, are episodic. However, t…
