Large-Scale Spiral Structure of the Milky Way Traced by Young Classical Cepheids

Z. H. Lin, C. J. Hao, D. J. Liu +5

Using 985 classical Cepheids younger than 100 Myr, we investigate the large-scale spiral structure of the Milky Way by comparing their spatial and kinematic distributions with the…

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…

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…

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…

Kinetic temperature of massive star forming molecular clumps measured with formaldehyde. II. The Large Magellanic Cloud

X. D. Tang, C. Henkel, C. -H. R. Chen +8

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), the closest star forming galaxy with low metallicity, provides an ideal laboratory to study star formation in such an environment. The classical d…

Kinetic temperature of massive star forming molecular clumps measured with formaldehyde

X. D. Tang, C. Henkel, K. M. Menten +8

For a general understanding of the physics involved in the star formation process, measurements of physical parameters such as temperature and density are indispensable. The chemic…
