Micro‐ and nanoscale studies of insoluble organic matter and C‐rich presolar grains in Murchison and Sutter's Mill in preparation for Bennu sample analysis

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 59, Issue 10, Page 2831-2850, October 2024.
Abstract Samples of B‐type asteroid (101955) Bennu returned by the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security–Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS‐REx) spacecraft will provide unique insight into the nature of carbonaceous asteroidal matter without the atmospheric entry heating or terrestrial weathering effects associated with ...

Magnetically Aligned Striations in the L914 Filamentary Cloud

The Astronomical Journal
We present CO( J = 1–0) multiline observations toward the L914 dark cloud in the vicinity of the Cygnus X region, using the 13.7 m millimeter telescope of the Purple Mountain Observatory.

Possible link between the power spectrum of interstellar filaments and the origin of the prestellar core mass function [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2015
Two major features of the prestellar CMF are: 1) a broad peak below 1 Msun, presumably corresponding to a mean gravitational fragmentation scale, and 2) a characteristic power-law slope, very similar to the Salpeter slope of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) at the high-mass end.

The ALMA-QUARKS Survey: Fibers’ Role in Star Formation Unveiled in an Intermediate-mass Protocluster Region of the Vela D Cloud

The Astrophysical Journal
In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of the IRS 17 filament within the intermediate-mass protocluster IRAS 08448-4343 (of ∼10 ^3 L _⊙ ), using ALMA data from the ATOMS 3 mm and QUARKS 1.3 mm surveys.

Limitations of the modified blackbody fit method for determining molecular cloud properties

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 4, May 2024.
Abstract Achieving a comprehensive understanding of the star and planet formation process is one of the fundamental tasks of astrophysics, requiring detailed knowledge of the physical conditions during the different phases of this process. During the earliest stages, that is, concerning physical processes in molecular clouds and filaments, the column ...

Neutral hydrogen filaments in interstellar media: Are they physical?

Reviews of Modern Plasma Physics
The trending term "filament" is extensively used in the interstellar medium (ISM) and the star formation community, and is believed to be one of the most important objects that gauge molecular cloud and star formation. However, the physical definition of these ubiquitous, elongated, high contrast features is poorly defined and still actively debated ...

Properties of interstellar filaments as derived from Herschel, Planck, and molecular line observations [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2015
AbstractRecent Herschel and Planck observations of submillimeter dust emission revealed the omnipresence of filamentary structures in the interstellar medium (ISM). The ubiquity of filaments in quiescent clouds as well as in star-forming regions indicates that the formation of filamentary structures is a natural product of the physics at play in the ...

Fordern galaktische Zwerge die Kosmologie heraus?

Physik in unserer Zeit, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 128-135, May 2024.
Dem Standardmodell der Kosmologie zufolge sollten sich Satellitengalaxien nahezu zufällig um ihre Hauptgalaxie verteilen und bewegen. Beobachtete Systeme um die Milchstraße und andere nahe Galaxien sind deutlich geordneter. Ist dies ein Problem für das Modell oder sogar für unser Verständnis der Dunklen Materie?

G321.93-0.01: A Rare Site of Multiple Hub-filament Systems with Evidence of Collision and Merging of Filaments

The Astronomical Journal
Hub-filament systems (HFSs) are potential sites of massive star formation (MSF). To understand the role of filaments in MSF and the origin of HFSs, we conducted a multiscale and multiwavelength observational investigation of the molecular cloud G321.93–0.
