The ALMA-QUARKS Survey: Properties of Hot Molecular Fragments in the Massive Protocluster IRAS 17233-3606
Li Chen, Sheng-Li Qin, Dongting Yang +29
To investigate the physical mechanisms of fragmentation within the hot molecular core of the massive protocluster IRAS 17233-3606 (G351.78-0.54), we carried out a detailed analysis…
Probing Star-Forming Properties via ALMA Observations of Massive Protocluster IRAS 15596-5301
Faxian Chang, Mengyao Tang, Tie Liu +8
To deepen our understanding of star-forming properties, we studied a massive protocluster IRAS 15596-5301 using ALMA 870 um and 3 mm data. High-resolution 870 um data reveal 34 den…
The ALMA-ATOMS survey: Methanol emission in a large sample of hot molecular cores
Jiahang Zou, Tie Liu, Sheng-Li Qin +26
Methanol (CHOH) is a key complex organic molecule (COM) in the interstellar medium, widely used as a tracer of dense gas and hot molecular cores (HMCs). Using high-resolution…
The ALMA-ATOMS survey: A sample of weak hot core candidates identified through line stacking
Zi-Yang Li, Xunchuan Liu, Tie Liu +33
Hot cores represent critical astrophysical environments for high-mass star formation, distinguished by their rich spectra of organic molecular emission lines. We aim to utilize hig…
ATOMS: ALMA Three-millimeter Observations of Massive Star-forming regions -XXI. A Large-sample Observational Study of Ethanol and Dimethyl Ether in Hot Cores
Zhiping Kou, Xiaohu Li, Sheng-Li Qin +21
Hot cores, as a stage of massive star formation, exhibit abundant line emissions of COMs. We present a deep line survey of two isomers of CHO: ethanol (CHOH; EA), a…
The ALMA-ATOMS survey: Vibrationally excited HCN lines in hot cores
Li Chen, Sheng-Li Qin, Tie Liu +26
Interstellar molecules are excellent tools for studying the physical and chemical environments of massive star-forming regions. In particular, vibrationally excited HCN (HC…
