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…
Constraining the Distance to the North Polar Spur with Gaia DR2
Kaustav K. Das, Catherine Zucker, Joshua S. Speagle +3
The North Polar Spur (NPS) is one of the largest structures observed in the Milky Way in both the radio and soft x-rays. While several predictions have been made regarding the orig…
A Prospective ISRO-CfA Himalayan Sub-millimeter-wave Observatory Initiative
T. K. Sridharan, Shmuel Bialy, Raymond Blundell +20
The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), a member of the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard and Smithsonian, is in discussions with the Space Applications Centre (SAC) of th…
Data-Driven Stellar Models
Gregory M. Green, Hans-Walter Rix, Leon Tschesche +7
We develop a data-driven model to map stellar parameters (effective temperature, surface gravity and metallicity) accurately and precisely to broad-band stellar photometry. This mo…
A Galactic-scale gas wave in the Solar Neighborhood
João Alves, Catherine Zucker, Alyssa A. Goodman +6
For the past 150 years, the prevailing view of the local Interstellar Medium (ISM) was based on a peculiarity known as the Gould's Belt, an expanding ring of young stars, gas, and…
A Compendium of Distances to Molecular Clouds in the Star Formation Handbook
Catherine Zucker, Joshua S. Speagle, Edward F. Schlafly +4
Accurate distances to local molecular clouds are critical for understanding the star and planet formation process, yet distance measurements are often obtained inhomogeneously on a…
