Kinetic temperature of massive star-forming molecular clumps measured with formaldehyde VI. The photodissociation region M17SW

X. Zhao, X. D. Tang, C. Henkel +20

The kinetic temperature structure of the photodissociation region M17SW was mapped using the IRAM 30 m telescope. This mapping employed the para-H2CO triplet (J(KaKc) = 303-202, 32…

A 1.3 cm spectral line study of the W33 region

Kadirya Tursun, Christian Henkel, Jarken Esimbek +14

At a distance of 2.4kpc, W33 is one of the most prolific sources of molecular line emission, and it is an excellent research target for a centimeter spectral line search. We carrie…

Molecular Clouds at the Edge of the Galaxy II. Physical properties and scaling relations

C. S. Luo, X. D. Tang, C. Henkel +22

The outer Galaxy presents an optimal setting for investigating molecular clouds and star formation in environments with low metallicity. A total of 72 Galactic edge clouds were sur…

An inverted infall profile for the collapse of the massive star-forming IRDC SDC335.579-0.292

Jinjin Xie, Gary A. Fuller, Di Li +8

There is increasing evidence for global collapse of clumps over parsec-scales in massive star formation regions. Such collapse may result in characteristic molecular line emission…

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)…

Molecular Clouds at the Edge of the Galaxy I. Variation of CO J=2-1/1-0 Line Ratio

C. S. Luo, X. D. Tang, C. Henkel +19

The Galactic edge at Galactocentric distances of 14\,--\,22\,kpc provides an ideal laboratory to study molecular clouds in an environment that is different from the solar neighborh…

Kinetic temperature of massive star-forming molecular clumps measured with formaldehyde V. The massive filament DR21

X. Zhao, X. D. Tang, C. Henkel +18

The kinetic temperature structure of the massive filament DR21 has been mapped using the IRAM 30 m telescope. This mapping employed the para-HCO triplet ( = 3$_…

Kinetic temperature of massive star-forming molecular clumps measured with formaldehyde IV. The ALMA view of N113 and N159W in the LMC

X. D. Tang, C. Henkel, K. M. Menten +25

We mapped the kinetic temperature structure of two massive star-forming regions, N113 and N159W, in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We have used 1\hbox{$\,.\!\!^{\prime\pri…

Kinetic temperature of massive star-forming molecular clumps measured with formaldehyde. III. The Orion Molecular Cloud 1

X. D. Tang, C. Henkel, K. M. Menten +10

We mapped the kinetic temperature structure of the Orion molecular cloud 1 with para-H2CO(303-202, 322-221, and 321-220) using the APEX 12m telescope. This is compared with the tem…
