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…

3D Radiative Transfer Modelling and Virial Analysis of Starless Cores in the B10 Region of the Taurus Molecular Cloud

Samantha Scibelli, Yancy Shirley, Anika Schmiedeke +4

Low-mass stars like our Sun begin their evolution within cold (10 K) and dense ( cm) cores of gas and dust. The physical structure of starless cores is best probe…

Are massive dense clumps truly sub-virial? A new analysis using Gould Belt ammonia data

Ayushi Singh, Christopher D. Matzner, Rachel K. Friesen +21

Dynamical studies of dense structures within molecular clouds often conclude that the most massive clumps contain too little kinetic energy for virial equilibrium, unless they are…

Relative Alignment between Dense Molecular Cores and Ambient Magnetic Field: The Synergy of Numerical Models and Observations

Che-Yu Chen, Erica A. Behrens, Jasmin E. Washington +26

The role played by magnetic field during star formation is an important topic in astrophysics. We investigate the correlation between the orientation of star-forming cores (as defi…

KFPA Examinations of Young STellar Object Natal Environments (KEYSTONE): Hierarchical Ammonia Structures in Galactic Giant Molecular Clouds

Jared Keown, James Di Francesco, Erik Rosolowsky +23

We present initial results from the K-band focal plane array Examinations of Young STellar Object Natal Environments (KEYSTONE) survey, a large project on the 100-m Green Bank Tele…

Virial Ratio: Direct Evaluation from Molecular Cloud Data and the Challenges of Improving Accuracy

Ayushi Singh, Christopher D. Matzner, Peter H. Jumper

The virial ratio between kinetic and gravitational terms provides key insight into the balance of forces that confine a molecular cloud, but the clumpy and filamentary structures o…

Droplets I: Pressure-Dominated Sub-0.1 pc Coherent Structures in L1688 and B18

Hope How-Huan Chen, Jaime E. Pineda, Alyssa A. Goodman +22

We present the observation and analysis of newly discovered coherent structures in the L1688 region of Ophiuchus and the B18 region of Taurus. Using data from the Green Bank Ammoni…

The Green Bank Ammonia Survey: Observations of Hierarchical Dense Gas Structures in Cepheus-L1251

Jared Keown, James Di Francesco, Helen Kirk +20

We use Green Bank Ammonia Survey observations of NH (1,1) and (2,2) emission with 32'' FWHM resolution from a ~ 10 pc portion of the Cepheus-L1251 molecular cloud to iden…

The Green Bank Ammonia Survey: Dense Cores Under Pressure in Orion A

Helen Kirk, Rachel K. Friesen, Jaime E. Pineda +21

We use gas temperature and velocity dispersion data from the Green Bank Ammonia Survey and core masses and sizes from the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope Gould Belt Survey to estimat…
