Global and Local Infall in the ASHES Sample (GLASHES). I. Pilot Study in G337.541

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Recent high-angular-resolution observations indicate the need for core growth to form high-mass stars. To understand the gas dynamics at the core scale in the very early evolutionary stages before being severely affected by feedback, we have conducted ...

TRIGONOMETRIC PARALLAXES OF MASSIVE STAR-FORMING REGIONS. VI. GALACTIC STRUCTURE, FUNDAMENTAL PARAMETERS, AND NONCIRCULAR MOTIONS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We are using the Very Long Baseline Array and the Japanese VLBI Exploration of Radio Astronomy project to measure trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions of masers found in high-mass star-forming regions across the Milky Way.

Tracking Star-forming Cores as Mass Reservoirs in Clustered and Isolated Regions Using Numerical Passive Tracer Particles

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Understanding the physical properties of star-forming cores as mass reservoirs for protostars and the impact of turbulence is crucial in star formation studies.

The Milky Way Project: Bridging Intermediate- and High-mass Star Formation with the MIRION Catalog of Yellowballs

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We describe the construction and use of the Mid-InfraRed Interstellar Objects and Nebulae (MIRION) catalog, which was compiled from 6176 objects identified as “yellowballs” (YBs) by participants in the Milky Way Project.

The Orion Star-Forming Region

open access: yes, 2000
General properties of the Orion star-forming region are discussed, with a focus on the dense Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC). This cluster contains between 2500 and 4500 objects located within a few parsecs of the eponymous Trapezium stars. Its members are aged <1 to a few Myr and encompass the full spectrum of stellar masses <50 Msun, as well as ...

Dynamical evolution of star-forming regions - II. Basic kinematics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We follow the dynamical evolution of young star-forming regions with a wide range of initial conditions and examine how the radial velocity dispersion, $\sigma$, evolves over time.

Dense Cores in IRDC G14.225-0.506 Revealed by ALMA Observations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Dense cores in massive, parsec-scale molecular clumps are sites that harbor protocluster formation. We present results from observations toward a hub–filament structure of a massive infrared (IR) dark cloud G14.225-0.506 using the Atacama Large ...

The Dependence of Star Formation Efficiency on Gas Surface Density

open access: yes, 2013
Studies by Lada (2010) and Heiderman (2010) have suggested that star formation mostly occurs above a threshold in gas surface density Sigma of Sigma_c = 120 Msun pc^{-2} (A_K = 0.8). Heiderman infer a threshold by combining low-mass star-forming regions,

JWST-FEAST: Feedback in Emerging extrAgalactic Star clusTers: Calibration of Star Formation Rates in the Mid-infrared with NGC 628

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
New JWST near-infrared imaging of the nearby galaxy NGC 628 from the JWST Cycle 1 program Feedback in Emerging extrAgalactic Star clusTers (JWST-FEAST) is combined with archival JWST mid-infrared imaging to calibrate the 21 μ m emission as a star ...

ALMA-IMF. XIV. Free–Free Templates Derived from H41α and Ionized Gas Content in 15 Massive Protoclusters

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
We use the H41 α recombination line to create templates of the millimeter free–free emission in the ALMA-IMF continuum maps, which allows us to separate it from dust emission.
