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…
ALMA Observations of Acetone in Hot Cores
Xia Zhang, Xiaohu Li, Zhiping Kou
Acetone (CH3COCH3) is a ubiquitous interstellar molecule, and serves as an important tracer of hot core chemistry. We conducted a line survey of acetone and its precursor acetaldeh…
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-QUARKS Survey: III. Clump-to-core fragmentation and search for high-mass starless cores
Dongting Yang, Hong-Li Liu, Tie Liu +43
The Querying Underlying mechanisms of massive star formation with ALMA-Resolved gas Kinematics and Structures (QUARKS) survey observed 139 infrared-bright (IR-bright) massive proto…
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…
