Not so different after all: Properties and Spatial Structure of Column Density Peaks in the Pipe and Orion A Clouds

Carlos G. Román-Zúñiga, Emilio Alfaro, Aina Palau +4

We present a comparative study of the physical properties and the spatial distribution of column density peaks in two Giant Molecular Clouds (GMC), the Pipe Nebula and Orion A, whi…

The CARMA-NRO Orion Survey: Core Emergence and Kinematics in the Orion A Cloud

Shuo Kong, Héctor G. Arce, Anneila I. Sargent +19

We have investigated the formation and kinematics of sub-mm continuum cores in the Orion A molecular cloud. A comparison between sub-mm continuum and near infrared extinction shows…

Young massive star cluster formation in the Galactic Centre is driven by global gravitational collapse of high-mass molecular clouds

A. T. Barnes, S. N. Longmore, A. Avison +19

Young massive clusters (YMCs) are the most compact, high-mass stellar systems still forming at the present day. The precursor clouds to such systems are, however, rare due to their…

Efficient methanol production on the dark side of a prestellar core

Jorma Harju, Jaime E. Pineda, Anton I. Vasyunin +23

We present ALMA maps of the starless molecular cloud core Ophiuchus/H-MM1 in the lines of deuterated ammonia (ortho-NH2D), methanol (CH3OH), and sulphur monoxide (SO). The dense co…

Extended stellar systems in the solar neighborhood - III. Like ships in the night: the Coma Berenices neighbor moving group

Verena Fürnkranz, Stefan Meingast, João Alves

We report the discovery of a kinematically cold group of stars, located in the immediate neighborhood of the well-known star cluster Coma Berenices (Mel 111). The new group identif…

A Large Catalog of Accurate Distances to Local Molecular Clouds: The Gaia DR2 Edition

Catherine Zucker, Joshua S. Speagle, Edward F. Schlafly +4

We present a uniform catalog of accurate distances to local molecular clouds informed by the Gaia DR2 data release. Our methodology builds on that of Schlafly et al. (2014). First,…
