The Magnetic Field in the Milky Way Filamentary Bone G47

Ian W. Stephens, Philip C. Myers, Catherine Zucker +21

Star formation primarily occurs in filaments where magnetic fields are expected to be dynamically important. The largest and densest filaments trace spiral structure within galaxie…

Star formation near the Sun is driven by expansion of the Local Bubble

Catherine Zucker, Alyssa A. Goodman, João Alves +8

For decades we have known that the Sun lies within the Local Bubble, a cavity of low-density, high-temperature plasma surrounded by a shell of cold, neutral gas and dust. However,…

On the Three-Dimensional Structure of Local Molecular Clouds

Catherine Zucker, Alyssa Goodman, João Alves +9

We leverage the 1 pc spatial resolution of the Leike et al. 2020 3D dust map to characterize the three-dimensional structure of nearby molecular clouds ( pc). We st…

The Per-Tau Shell: A Giant Star-Forming Spherical Shell Revealed by 3D Dust Observations

Shmuel Bialy, Catherine Zucker, Alyssa Goodman +6

A major question in the field of star formation is how molecular clouds form out of the diffuse Interstellar Medium (ISM). Recent advances in 3D dust mapping are revolutionizing ou…

A high pitch angle structure in the Sagittarius Arm

M. A. Kuhn, R. A. Benjamin, C. Zucker +6

Context: In spiral galaxies, star formation tends to trace features of the spiral pattern, including arms, spurs, feathers, and branches. However, in our own Milky Way, it has been…

High-resolution CARMA Observation of Molecular Gas in the North America and Pelican Nebulae

Shuo Kong, Héctor G. Arce, John M. Carpenter +15

We present the first results from a CARMA high-resolution CO(1-0), CO(1-0), and CO(1-0) molecular line survey of the North America and Pelican (NAP) Nebulae. C…
