Magnetized filamentary gas flows feeding the young embedded cluster in Serpens South
Thushara G. S. Pillai, Dan P. Clemens, Stefan Reissl +11
Observations indicate that molecular clouds are strongly magnetized, and that magnetic fields influence the formation of stars. A key observation supporting the conclusion that mol…
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…
Ubiquitous supersonic component in L1688 coherent cores
Spandan Choudhury, Jaime E. Pineda, Paola Caselli +15
Context : Star formation takes place in cold dense cores in molecular clouds. Earlier observations have found that dense cores exhibit subsonic non-thermal velocity dispersions. In…
Magnetic Field Structure in Spheroidal Star-Forming Clouds. II. Estimating Field Structure from Observed Maps
Philip C. Myers, Ian W. Stephens, Sayantan Auddy +3
This paper presents models to estimate the structure of density and magnetic field strength in spheroidal condensations, from maps of their column density and their polarization of…
Relative Alignment between Dense Molecular Cores and Ambient Magnetic Field: The Synergy of Numerical Models and Observations
Che-Yu Chen, Erica A. Behrens, Jasmin E. Washington +26
The role played by magnetic field during star formation is an important topic in astrophysics. We investigate the correlation between the orientation of star-forming cores (as defi…
CS Depletion in Prestellar Cores
Shinyoung Kim, Chang Won Lee, Maheswar Gopinathan +6
The CS molecule is known to be absorbed onto dust in the cold and dense conditions, causing it to get significantly depleted in the central region of cores. This study is aimed to…
