Trace the Self-Gravitating Gas Using CO Isotopologues

Linjing Feng, Jingwen Wu, Sihan Jiao +12

Recent studies have shown that the star formation rate (SFR) correlates tightly and linearly with the mass of gravitationally bound gas, which can be delineated from the power-law…

Random gas motions inside sub-parsec scale supercritical filaments

Chao Zhang, Tie Liu, Mika Juvela +12

Supercritical gas filaments in molecular clouds host the dense cores in which new stars form. The mechanisms governing their formation and subsequent gas accretion remain poorly un…

The ALMA-QUARKS survey: Investigating Thermal Feedback of Massive Protostars in Hot Molecular Cores

Dezhao Meng, Tie Liu, Jarken Esimbek +33

We identify a sample of 83 spatially resolved hot molecular cores (HMCs) in the QUARKS survey, aiming at investigating thermal feedback from massive stars. Using CHCN\,(12--11)…

ALMA-QUARKS: Few-Thousand-Year Hatching out of "Egg": The Supersonic Breakout of a Hypercompact H II Region from Its Parental Hot Core

Siju Zhang, Guido Garay, Fengwei Xu +19

The kinematic evolution of hypercompact H II (HC H II) regions around young high-mass stars remains poorly understood due to complex interactions with parental environs. We present…

Tails of Gravity: Persistence of Star Formation in the CMZ Environment

Linjing Feng, Sihan Jiao, Fengwei Xu +16

We characterize star-forming gas in six molecular clouds (Sgr B1-off, Sgr B2, Sgr C, the 20 km s and 50 km s molecular clouds, and the Brick) in the Galactic central…

A misaligned protostellar disk fed by gas streamers in a barred spiral-like massive dense core

Xiaofeng Mai, Tie Liu, Xunchuan Liu +42

High-mass stars, born in massive dense cores (MDCs), profoundly impact the cosmic ecosystem through feedback processes and metal enrichment, yet little is known about how MDCs asse…
