Modeling the Far-Infrared Polarization Spectrum of a High-Mass Star Forming Cloud
Dennis Lee, Che-Yu Chen, Giles Novak +7
The polarization spectrum, or wavelength dependence of the polarization fraction, of interstellar dust emission provides important insights into the grain alignment mechanism of in…
Dynamics in Star-forming Cores (DiSCo): Project Overview and the First Look toward the B1 and NGC 1333 Regions in Perseus
Che-Yu Chen, Rachel Friesen, Jialu Li +13
The internal velocity structure within dense gaseous cores plays a crucial role in providing the initial conditions for star formation in molecular clouds. However, the kinematic p…
Relative Alignment Between Magnetic Fields and Molecular Gas Structure in Molecular Clouds
Renato Mazzei, Zhi-Yun Li, Che-Yu Chen +3
We compare the structure of synthetic dust polarization with synthetic molecular line emission from radiative transfer calculations using a 3-dimensional, turbulent collapsing-clou…
The Transition of Polarized Dust Thermal Emission from the Protostellar Envelope to the Disk Scale
Ka Ho Lam, Che-Yu Chen, Zhi-Yun Li +4
Polarized dust continuum emission has been observed with ALMA in an increasing number of deeply embedded protostellar systems. It generally shows a sharp transition going from the…
Characterising the Magnetic Fields of Nearby Molecular Clouds using Submillimeter Polarization Observations
Colin H. Sullivan, Laura Fissel, Patrick King +3
Of all the factors that influence star formation, magnetic fields are perhaps the least well understood. The goal of this paper is to characterize the 3D magnetic field properties…
Self-gravitating Filament Formation from Shocked Flows: Velocity Gradients across Filaments
Che-Yu Chen, Lee G. Mundy, Eve C. Ostriker +2
In typical environments of star-forming clouds, converging supersonic turbulence generates shock-compressed regions, and can create strongly-magnetized sheet-like layers. Numerical…
