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…
Revealing the substellar population of IC 1396: A spectroscopic survey of brown dwarfs in the region
Belinda Damian, Jessy Jose, Aleks Scholz +7
We present a new spectroscopic view of the brown dwarf population in the young star-forming region IC 1396 and investigate the impact of environment on low-mass star formation. We…
Evolution of starless cores in massive clumps seen by the ALMA ASHES and QUARKS surveys
Dongting Yang, Hong-li Liu, Sheng-li Qin +28
We present a systematic comparative analysis of 324 starless cores in early-phase infrared-dark clouds (IRDCs; ASHES survey) and evolved-phase infrared-bright clouds (IRBCs; QUARKS…
The ALMA-QUARKS survey: Investigating Thermal Feedback of Massive Protostars in Hot Molecular Cores
Dezhao Meng, Tie Liu, Jarken Esimbek +33
We identify a sample of 83 spatially resolved hot molecular cores (HMCs) in the QUARKS survey, aiming at investigating thermal feedback from massive stars. Using CHCN\,(12--11)…
ALMA-QUARKS view of W49N: Multipolar episodic outflow associated with the most energetic Galactic water maser
Yunfan Jiao, Tie Liu, Wenyu Jiao +28
We present a detailed investigation of a multipolar episodic molecular outflow in the mini-starburst region W49N, which hosts the most luminous water maser in the Galaxy. Using hig…
The ALMA-QUARKS Survey: Evidence of an Explosive Molecular Outflow in IRAS 15520--5234
Ariful Hoque, Tapas Baug, Estrella Guzman +25
We present a study of the massive protocluster IRAS 155205234, which displays evidence of an explosive molecular outflow that unleashed a kinetic energy of at least 10 er…
