CARMA-NRO Orion Survey: unbiased survey of dense cores and core mass functions in Orion A
Hideaki Takemura, Fumitaka Nakamura, Héctor G. Arce +15
The mass distribution of dense cores is a potential key to understand the process of star formation. Applying dendrogram analysis to the CARMA-NRO Orion CO (=1--0) data,…
Filament Formation via Collision-induced Magnetic Reconnection -- Formation of a Star Cluster
Shuo Kong, David Whitworth, Rowan J. Smith +1
A collision-induced magnetic reconnection (CMR) mechanism was recently proposed to explain the formation of a filament in the Orion A molecular cloud. In this mechanism, a collisio…
The Star Formation-Gas Density Relation in Four Galactic GMCs: Effects of Stellar Feedback
John H. Bieging, Shuo Kong
We present maps of 4 galactic giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in the J=2-1 emission of both CO and CO. We use an LTE analysis to derive maps of the CO excitation temperature a…
Dense Gas Formation via Collision-induced Magnetic Reconnection in a Disk Galaxy with a BiSymmetric Spiral Magnetic Field
Shuo Kong
Recently, a collision-induced magnetic reconnection (CMR) mechanism was proposed to explain a dense filament formation in the Orion A giant molecular cloud. A natural question is t…
