We present an overview and data release of the spectral line component of the SMA Large Program, \textit{CMZoom}. \textit{CMZoom} observed CO(2-1), CO(2-1) and C$^{18…
An ionized outflow in Orion-KL source I?
Melvyn Wright, Tomoya Hirota, Jan Forbrich +5
We present images at 6 and 14 GHz of Source I in Orion-KL. At higher frequencies, from 43 to 340 GHz, images of this source are dominated by thermal emission from dust in a 100 AU…

We present ALMA observations with a 800 au resolution and radiative-transfer modelling of the inner part ( au) of the ionized accretion flow around a compact star clu…
ALMA-IMF VI -- Investigating the origin of stellar masses: Core mass function evolution in the W43-MM2&MM3 mini-starburst
Y. Pouteau, F. Motte, T. Nony +35
Among the most central open questions regarding the initial mass function (IMF) of stars is the impact of environment on the shape of the core mass function (CMF) and thus potentia…
Salt-bearing disk candidates around high-mass young stellar objects
Adam Ginsburg, Brett A. McGuire, Patricio Sanhueza +6
Molecular lines tracing the orbital motion of gas in a well-defined disk are valuable tools for inferring both the properties of the disk and the star it surrounds. Lines that aris…
Velocity-Coherent Substructure in TMC-1: Inflow and Fragmentation
Simon E. T. Smith, Rachel Friesen, Antoine Marchal +11
Filamentary structures have been found nearly ubiquitously in molecular clouds and yet their formation and evolution is still poorly understood. We examine a segment of Taurus Mole…
