The Cloud Factory I: Generating resolved filamentary molecular clouds from galactic-scale forces
Rowan J. Smith, Robin G. Treß, Mattia C. Sormani +6
We introduce a new suite of simulations, "The Cloud Factory", which self-consistently forms molecular cloud complexes at high enough resolution to resolve internal substructure (up…
Synthetic Large-Scale Galactic Filaments -- on their Formation, Physical Properties, and Resemblance to Observations
Catherine Zucker, Rowan Smith, Alyssa Goodman
Using a population of large-scale filaments extracted from an AREPO simulation of a Milky Way-like galaxy, we seek to understand the extent to which observed large-scale filament p…
A 3D Dust Map Based on Gaia, Pan-STARRS 1 and 2MASS
Gregory M. Green, Edward F. Schlafly, Catherine Zucker +2
We present a new three-dimensional map of dust reddening, based on Gaia parallaxes and stellar photometry from Pan-STARRS 1 and 2MASS. This map covers the sky north of a declinatio…
High-Dimensional Dust Mapping
G. Zasowski, D. P. Finkbeiner, G. M. Green +9
Galactic interstellar dust has a profound impact not only on our observations of objects throughout the Universe, but also on the morphology, star formation, and chemical evolution…
A Large Catalog of Accurate Distances to Local Molecular Clouds: The Gaia DR2 Edition
Catherine Zucker, Joshua S. Speagle, Edward F. Schlafly +4
We present a uniform catalog of accurate distances to local molecular clouds informed by the Gaia DR2 data release. Our methodology builds on that of Schlafly et al. (2014). First,…
