Scientific Objectives of the Xue-shan-mu-chang 15-meter Submillimeter Telescope
XSMT Project Collaboration Group, Yiping Ao, Jin Chang +48
Submillimeter astronomy is poised to revolutionize our understanding of the Universe by revealing cosmic phenomena hidden from optical and near-infrared observations, particularly…
Inadequate turbulent support in low-metallicity molecular clouds
Lingrui Lin, Zhi-Yu Zhang, Junzhi Wang +16
The dynamic properties of molecular clouds are set by the interplay of their self-gravity, turbulence, external pressure and magnetic fields. Extended surveys of Galactic molecular…
A new measurement of the Galactic C/C gradient from sensitive HCO absorption observations
Gan Luo, Laura Colzi, Tie Liu +4
We present a new constraint on the Galactic C/C gradient with sensitive HCO absorption observations against strong continuum sources. The new measurements suffer…
The CO-dark molecular gas in the cold HI arc
Gan Luo, Di Li, Zhi-yu Zhang +6
The CO-dark molecular gas (DMG), which refers to the molecular gas not traced by CO emission, is crucial for the evolution of the interstellar medium (ISM). While the gas propertie…
