Cloud-cloud collision as origin of the G31.41+0.31 massive protocluster
M. T. Beltrán, V. M. Rivilla, M. S. N. Kumar +2
The G31.41+0.31 (G31) hot molecular core (HMC) is a high-mass protocluster showing accelerated infall and rotational spin-up that is well studied at high-angular resolution. To com…
The sharp ALMA view of infall and outflow in the massive protocluster G31.41+0.31
M. T. Beltrán, V. M. Rivilla, R. Cesaroni +15
Context. To better understand the formation of high-mass stars, it is fundamental to investigate how matter accretes onto young massive stars, how it is ejected, and how all this d…
Cosmic rays in molecular clouds probed by H rovibrational lines -- Perspectives for the James Webb Space Telescope
Marco Padovani, Shmuel Bialy, Daniele Galli +7
Cosmic rays (CRs) at sub-TeV energies play a fundamental role in the chemical and dynamical evolution of molecular clouds, as they control the ionisation, dissociation, and excitat…
Gravity Driven Magnetic Field at ~1000 au Scales in High-mass Star Formation
Patricio Sanhueza, Josep Miquel Girart, Marco Padovani +20
A full understanding of high-mass star formation requires the study of one of the most elusive components of the energy balance in the interstellar medium: magnetic fields. We repo…
Fragmentation in the massive G31.41+0.31 protocluster
M. T. Beltrán, V. M. Rivilla, R. Cesaroni +18
Context. ALMA observations at 1.4 mm and 0.2'' (750au) angular resolution of the Main core in the high-mass star forming region G31.41+0.31 have revealed a puzzling scenario: on th…
Rigorous theory for secondary cosmic-ray ionization
Alexei V. Ivlev, Kedron Silsbee, Marco Padovani +1
The energy spectrum of electrons produced in molecular gas by interstellar cosmic rays (CRs) is rigorously calculated as a function of gas column density traversed by the CRs.…
