Hydrodynamic Modeling of the Interaction of Winds within a Collapsing Turbulent Gas Cloud
By using the particle‐based code Gadget2, we follow the evolution of a gas giant molecular cloud, in which a set of gas particles representing the wind are created by a Monte Carlo scheme and suddenly move outwards from the cloud’s center. The particles representing the gas cloud initially have a velocity according to a turbulent spectrum built in a ...

The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: A First Look at the Auriga–California Molecular Cloud with SCUBA-2 [PDF]
We present 850 and 450 μm observations of the dense regions within the Auriga–California molecular cloud using SCUBA-2 as part of the JCMT Gould Belt Legacy Survey to identify candidate protostellar objects, measure the masses of their circumstellar ...

Physicochemical Constraints on the Abiotic Polymerization of Nucleotides Into RNA
Abstract One of the key steps in the origin of life is the polymerization of nucleotides into nucleic acids like RNA. We have quantified the energetic impact of temperature, pressure, and composition on the polymerization of nucleotides into RNA using the Gibbs function. These Gibbs energies have been used to calculate the probability that a nucleotide

A Hydrodynamical Model of a Rotating Wind Source and Its Effects on the Collapse of a Rotating Core
This work presents three‐dimensional hydrodynamical simulations with the fully parallel GAGDET2 code, to model a rotating source that emits wind in order to study the subsequent dynamics of the wind in three independent scenarios. In the first scenario we consider several models of the wind source, which is characterized by a rotation velocity Vrot and

Rotational Spectroscopy of the Acetone‐Water Complex: Large Amplitude Motions
The structure and dynamics of the acetone‐water complex were explored using jet‐cooled rotational spectroscopy and computational chemistry calculations. Our detailed rot‐tunneling analyses of acetone‐H2O and −D2O revealed that the interaction with water disrupts the equivalence of the two methyl rotors, resulting in a significantly lower methyl rotor ...

The VLA/ALMA Nascent Disk and Multiplicity (VANDAM) Survey of Orion Protostars. II. A Statistical Characterization of Class 0 and Class I Protostellar Disks [PDF]
We have conducted a survey of 328 protostars in the Orion molecular clouds with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array at 0.87 mm at a resolution of ~0.”1 (40 au), including observations with the Very Large Array at 9 mm toward 148 protostars ...
