The Green Bank Ammonia Survey: Data Release 2
Jaime E. Pineda, Rachel K. Friesen, Erik Rosolowsky +22
We present an overview of the final data release (DR2) from the Green Bank Ammonia Survey (GAS). GAS is a Large Program at the Green Bank Telescope to map all Gould Belt star-formi…
The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: First results from the Corona Australis molecular cloud and evidence of variable dust emissivity indices in the Coronet region
Kate Pattle, David Bresnahan, Derek Ward-Thompson +47
We present 450m and 850m James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) observations of the Corona Australis (CrA) molecular cloud taken as part of the JCMT Gould Belt Legacy Survey…
Filament Accretion and Fragmentation in the Perseus Molecular Cloud
Michael Chun-Yuan Chen, James Di Francesco, Rachel K. Friesen +6
Observations suggest that filaments in molecular clouds can grow by mass accretion while forming cores via fragmentation. Here we present one of the first large sample studies of f…
Probing the Physics of Star-Formation (ProPStar) III. No evidence for dissipation of turbulence down to 20 mpc (4 000 au) scale
Jaime E. Pineda, Juan D. Soler, Stella Offner +14
Context. Turbulence is a key component of molecular cloud structure. It is usually described by a cascade of energy down to the dissipation scale. The power spectrum for subsonic i…
Relative Alignments Between Magnetic Fields, Velocity Gradients, and Dust Emission Gradients in NGC 1333
Michael Chun-Yuan Chen, Laura M. Fissel, Sarah I. Sadavoy +23
Magnetic fields play an important role in shaping and regulating star formation in molecular clouds. Here, we present one of the first studies examining the relative orientations b…
