Submillimeter and Far-Infrared Polarimetric Observations of Magnetic Fields in Star-Forming Regions
Observations of star-forming regions by the current and upcoming generation of submillimeter polarimeters will shed new light on the evolution of magnetic fields over the cloud-to-core size scales involved in the early stages of the star formation ...

Evidence for a Molecular Cloud Origin for Gamma-Ray Bursts: Implications for the Nature of Star Formation in the Universe [PDF]
It appears that the majority of rapidly-, well-localized gamma-ray bursts with undetected, or dark, optical afterglows, or `dark bursts' for short, occur in clouds of size R > 10L_{49}^{1/2} pc and mass M > 3x10^5L_{49} M_{sun}, where L is the isotropic ...

OBSERVATIONS OF NON TYPICAL MASERS AT THE RT-22 RADIO TELESCOPE IN 2004–2013
Purpose: Some peculiarities of emission of Class I methanol masers on the 80–71A+ transition at 95 GHz in sources closely associated with protostar-forming regions and in supernova remnants are studied.

ON THE THEORY OF THE OF-CENTRAL EXPLOSION IN A SPHERICALLY STRATIFIED MEDIUM
Аn analytical solution for a spherically stratified medium is constructed on the strength of an earlier obtained exact solution of Kompaneets equation for the shock front in a planar stratified medium with the density changing as the hyperbolic tangent ...

Galaxy chemical evolution models: The role of molecular gas formation [PDF]
In our classical grid of multiphase chemical evolution models, star formation in the disc occurs in two steps: first, molecular gas forms, and then stars are created by cloud-cloud collisions or interactions of massive stars with the surrounding ...

HCO+ in dark molecular clouds [PDF]
Formyl ion is one of the most important molecules, and primary molecular ion to be found in molecular clouds. This paper reviews chemical pathways of formation and destruction of the molecule, as well as its use as a tool in the study of dark molecular ...

FORMATION OF MASSIVE MOLECULAR CLOUD CORES BY CLOUD-CLOUD COLLISION [PDF]
Recent observations of molecular clouds around rich massive star clusters including NGC3603, Westerlund 2, and M20 revealed that the formation of massive stars could be triggered by a cloud-cloud collision. By using three-dimensional, isothermal, magnetohydrodynamics simulations with the effect of self-gravity, we demonstrate that massive ...

The Role of Magnetic Field in Molecular Cloud Formation and Evolution
We review the role that magnetic field may have on the formation and evolution of molecular clouds. After a brief presentation and main assumptions leading to ideal MHD equations, their most important correction, namely the ion-neutral drift is described.

Understanding the Kinetic Energy Deposition within Molecular Clouds
According to the structures traced by ^13 CO spectral lines within ^12 CO molecular clouds (MCs), we investigate the contributions of their internal gas motions and relative motions to the total velocity dispersions of ^12 CO MCs. Our samples of 2851 ^12
