B-fields In STar-forming Region Observations (BISTRO): Dual-Wavelength Constraints on Size-Dependent Grain Alignment in Star-Forming Regions

Ray S. Furuya, David Berry, Pierre Bastien +65

We compared 450 and 850 m POL-2 observations from the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope at resolution. The median absolute difference in polarization angle between bands is…

B-fields In STar-forming Region Observations (BISTRO): Technical Foundations for Quantitative 450/850 m JCMT SCUBA-2/POL-2 Polarimetry

Ray S. Furuya, David Berry, Pierre Bastien +59

We present five technical validations of SCUBA-2/POL-2 polarimetry on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope at 450 and 850 m, using 174 archival fields in 69 molecular cloud regions…

Multi-Scale Magnetic Field Observations Reveal how Colliding Flows Trigger Star Formation

Jia-Wei Wang, Patrick M. Koch, Hauyu Baobab Liu +4

Magnetic fields play a crucial yet complex role in star formation, while their connection between large-scale filamentary clouds and small-scale young stellar objects remains poorl…

Magnetic field Topology and Star Formation in the Cepheus B Filamentary cloud under External Feedback

Panigrahy Sandhyarani, Chakali Eswaraiah, Manash R. Samal +6

We present a detailed study of the Cep B molecular cloud based on sub-mm dust polarization and CO (J=3--2) spectral line observations obtained with SCUBA-2/POL-2 and HARP on…

The dominance of turbulence over magnetism in the formation of massive star cluster seeds

Junhao Liu, Patricio Sanhueza, Piyali Saha +32

High-mass stars form in protoclusters, where gravo-magnetic processes shape collapsing clouds and clumps to be elongated preferentially perpendicular to magnetic (B) fields. Yet it…
