Chemical complexity in feedback from supernova remnants: first detection of PO+ in IC443 and W44
G. Cosentino, F. Priestley, S. Scibelli +1
Supernova remnant (SNR) may shape the physical and chemical properties of star formation. By releasing refractory elements into the gas phase, they inject material of pre-biotic re…

We present JWST NIRCam (F356W and F444W filters) and MIRI (F770W) images and NIRSpec- IFU spectroscopy of the young supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A). We obtained the data as…
NH(1-0) as a tracer of dense gas in and between spiral arms
O. Feher, S. E. Ragan, F. D. Priestley +2
Recent advances in identifying giant molecular filaments in galactic surveys allow us to study the interstellar material and its dense, potentially star forming phase on scales com…
From total destruction to complete survival: Dust processing at different evolutionary stages in the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A
Florian Kirchschlager, Nina Sartorio, Ilse De Looze +3
The expanding ejecta of supernova remnants (SNRs) are believed to form dust in dense clumps of gas. Before the dust can be expelled into the interstellar medium and contribute to t…
The dynamic centres of infrared-dark clouds and the formation of cores
Andrew J. Rigby, Nicolas Peretto, Michael Anderson +7
High-mass stars have an enormous influence on the evolution of the interstellar medium in galaxies, so it is important that we understand how they form. We examine the central clum…
Heavy Black Hole Seed Formation in High-z Atomic Cooling Halos
Lewis R. Prole, John A. Regan, Simon C. O. Glover +3
Halos with masses in excess of the atomic limit are believed to be ideal environments in which to form heavy black hole seeds with masses above 10^3 Msun. In cases where the H_2 fr…
NEATH II: NH as a tracer of imminent star formation in quiescent high-density gas
F. D. Priestley, P. C. Clark, S. C. O. Glover +4
Star formation activity in molecular clouds is often found to be correlated with the amount of material above a column density threshold of . Attempt…
Population III star formation: multiple gas phases prevent the use of an equation of state at high densities
Lewis R. Prole, Paul C. Clark, Felix D. Priestley +2
Advanced primordial chemistry networks have been developed to model the collapse of metal-free baryonic gas within the gravitational well of dark matter (DM) halos and its subseque…
Non-Equilibrium Abundances Treated Holistically (NEATH): the molecular composition of star-forming clouds
F. D. Priestley, P. C. Clark, S. C. O. Glover +4
Much of what we know about molecular clouds, and by extension star formation, comes from molecular line observations. Interpreting these correctly requires knowledge of the underly…
The JCMT BISTRO Survey: Studying the Complex Magnetic Field of L43
Janik Karoly, Derek Ward-Thompson, Kate Pattle +155
We present observations of polarized dust emission at 850 m from the L43 molecular cloud which sits in the Ophiuchus cloud complex. The data were taken using SCUBA-2/POL-2 on th…
Line emission from filaments in molecular clouds
F. D. Priestley, D. Arzoumanian, A. P. Whitworth
Filamentary structures are often identified in column density maps of molecular clouds, and appear to be important for both low- and high-mass star formation. Theoretically, these…
First BISTRO observations of the dark cloud Taurus L1495A-B10: the role of the magnetic field in the earliest stages of low-mass star formation
Derek Ward-Thompson, Janik Karoly, Kate Pattle +155
We present BISTRO Survey 850 μm dust emission polarisation observations of the L1495A-B10 region of the Taurus molecular cloud, taken at the JCMT. We observe a roughly triangular n…
From dark matter halos to pre-stellar cores: High resolution follow-up of cosmological Lyman-Werner simulations
Lewis R. Prole, Anna T. P. Schauer, Paul C. Clark +3
Molecular hydrogen allows cooling in primordial gas, facilitating its collapse into Population III stars within primordial halos. Lyman-Werner (LW) radiation from these stars can e…
Do simulated molecular clouds look like real ones?
F. D. Priestley, P. C. Clark, A. P Whitworth
Simulations of molecular clouds often begin from highly idealised initial conditions, such as a uniform-density sphere with an artificially imposed turbulent velocity field. While…

Differences in chemical evolution between isolated and embedded prestellar cores
F. D. Priestley, A. P. Whitworth, E. Fogerty
Models of prestellar cores often assume that the cores are isolated from their environment - material outside the core boundary plays no role in the subsequent evolution. This is u…
Ionising feedback from an O star formed in a shock-compressed layer
