Scale-Vector Alignment: A Scale-Aware Framework for Spatially Resolved Morphological Similarity in Astronomical Images
Mengke Zhao, Guang-Xing Li, Keping Qiu +1
Astronomical maps made with different tracers are not expected to have identical morphology. Excitation, optical depth, chemistry, radiation, and ISM phase alter the response of a…
Local constraints on alcohol--thioalcohol analogs in G35.2N
Xuefang Xu, Shanghuo Li, Qian Gou +6
The chemistry of sulfur-bearing complex organic molecules in dense star-forming environments remains uncertain, partly because the dominant sulfur reservoirs in dense gas and ices…
Water maser detections toward 70 m infrared dark clumps at early star formation stage
Chao Ou, Shanghuo Li, Junzhi Wang +2
Water masers provided powerful probes of shocked gas and protostellar activity during the early stages of star formation. Using VLA K-band observations of the 22 GHz water line, we…
Magnetic Fields in Massive Star-forming Regions (MagMaR). IX. Radiative Torque Alignment and Disruption in NGC6334I
Vineet Rawat, Thiem Hoang, Patricio Sanhueza +18
Intense radiation from high-mass stars is expected to significantly affect dust grain alignment and evolution through RAdiative Torques (RATs). We investigate this effect in a mass…
Dense Cores in the Vicinity of an HII Region
Ruofei Zhang, Xing Lu, Jingwen Wu +23
Massive stars strongly influence their surroundings through radiative and mechanical feedback, but its effects on dense gas structures at sub-pc scales remain poorly constrained. W…
MIAO-ALMA: Shocks and Protostellar Outflows in 70 m-dark clumps with 1 /
Shuting Lin, Siyi Feng, Junzhi Wang +16
To investigate the initial conditions of high-mass star-forming regions, we use SiO (2-1) emission to trace early shock-related kinematics toward sixteen 70 m-dark and massive c…
ALMA observations of Magnetic Fields in the Massive Star-forming Region IRAS 18360-0537
Shixian Mo, Keping Qiu, Qizhou Zhang +6
Assessing the significance of magnetic fields in high-mass star formation remains one of the most challenging topics in astrophysics. In this study, we present full polarization ob…
Evolution of starless cores in massive clumps seen by the ALMA ASHES and QUARKS surveys
Dongting Yang, Hong-li Liu, Sheng-li Qin +28
We present a systematic comparative analysis of 324 starless cores in early-phase infrared-dark clouds (IRDCs; ASHES survey) and evolved-phase infrared-bright clouds (IRBCs; QUARKS…
The gas kinematics in 70 μm dark molecular clumps with ammonia
Chao Ou, Shanghuo Li, Junzhi Wang +5
We present the investigation of the gas kinematics and assess the evolutionary stages of dense cores embedded in four infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) using the NH(1,1) and NH(…
The Keplerian disk, envelope, and streamers surrounding an early O-type protostar in the Sagittarius C cloud of the Central Molecular Zone
Jixiang Weng, Xing Lu, Yu Cheng +22
Disk-mediated accretion is central to theories of massive star formation, setting the initial conditions for their evolution. Yet observations of Keplerian disks around early O-typ…
Q/W-band Observations toward Starless Cores in Orion (QWOSCO) I. Overview, Isotopologues, Isomers, and Complex Organics
Shih-Ying Hsu, Xunchuan Liu, Sheng-Yuan Liu +12
Molecular inventories in starless cores are powerful tools for probing the physical and chemical structures at the earliest stages of star formation. Wide-band spectral scans are i…
Digging into the Interior of Hot Cores with ALMA (DIHCA). VI. The Formation of Low-mass Multiple Systems in High-mass Cluster-forming Regions
Qiuyi Luo, Patricio Sanhueza, Stella S. R. Offner +14
Most stars form in multiple systems, with profound implications in numerous astronomical phenomena intrinsically linked to multiplicity. However, our knowledge about the process on…
The ALMA-QUARKS Survey: Discovery of Superfine Dusty Fibrils inside Massive Star-forming Clumps
Yan-Kun Zhang, Tie Liu, Wenyu Jiao +35
We report the discovery of more than 320 superfine dusty filamentary structures (fibrils) inside 121 massive star forming clumps that are located in widely different Galactic envir…
Magnetic threads and gravity: ALMA Observations of IRDC G14.225-0.506
Nacho Añez-López, Gemma Busquet, Josep Miquel Girart +14
During the star formation process, the interplay between gravity, turbulence, and B-fields is significant, with B-fields apparently serving a regulatory function. However, the exte…
Digging into the Interior of Hot Cores with ALMA (DIHCA). VII. Disk candidates around high-mass stars and evidence of anisotropic infall
Fernando A. Olguin, Patricio Sanhueza, Yoko Oya +19
We study the kinematics of condensations in 30 fields forming high-mass stars with ALMA at a high-resolution of ~0.08'' on average (~230 au). The presence of disks is important for…
HOPS-288: A Laboratory for Complex Organics in Proto-multiple Systems
Shih-Ying Hsu, Nadia M. Murillo, Chin-Fei Lee +21
Complex organic molecules (COMs) in young stellar objects (YSOs) have attracted significant attention in recent years due to their potential connection to pre-biotic chemistry and…
