- Description:
- We identify multi-wavelength counterparts to 1147 submillimeter sources from the S2COSMOS SCUBA-2 survey of the COSMOS field by employing a recently developed radio+machine-learning method trained on a large sample of Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA)-identified submillimeter galaxies (SMGs), including 260 SMGs identified in the AS2COSMOS pilot survey. In total, we identify 1222 optical/near-infrared (NIR)/radio counterparts to the 897 S2COSMOS submillimeter sources with S_850_>1.6mJy, yielding an overall identification rate of (78+/-9)%. We find that (22+/-5)% of S2COSMOS sources have multiple identified counterparts. We estimate that roughly 27% of these multiple counterparts within the same SCUBA-2 error circles very likely arise from physically associated galaxies rather than line-of-sight projections by chance. The photometric redshift of our radio+machine-learning-identified SMGs ranges from z=0.2 to 5.7 and peaks at z=2.3+/-0.1. The AGN fraction of our sample is (19+/-4)%, which is consistent with that of ALMA SMGs in the literature. Comparing with radio/NIR-detected field galaxy population in the COSMOS field, our radio+machine-learning-identified counterparts of SMGs have the highest star formation rates and stellar masses. These characteristics suggest that our identified counterparts of S2COSMOS sources are a representative sample of SMGs at z<~3. We employ our machine-learning technique to the whole COSMOS field and identified 6877 potential SMGs, most of which are expected to have submillimeter emission fainter than the confusion limit of our S2COSMOS surveys (S_850um_<~1.5mJy). We study the clustering properties of SMGs based on this statistically large sample, finding that they reside in high-mass dark matter halos ((1.2+/-0.3)x10^13^h^-1^M_{sun}_), which suggests that SMGs may be the progenitors of massive ellipticals we see in the local universe.

- Description:
- New high-resolution maps with the IRAM interferometer of the redshifted C+ 158um line and the 0.98mm dust continuum of HDF850.1 at z=5.185 show the source to have a blueshifted northern component and a redshifted southern component, with a projected separation of 0.3", or 2kpc. We interpret these components as primordial galaxies that are merging to form a larger galaxy.

- RCW120 fragmentation at 0.01pc scale
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/616/L10

- CDS
- Description:
- Little is known about how high-mass stars form. Around 30% of the young high-mass stars in the Galaxy are observed at the edges of ionized (HII) regions. Therefore these are places of choice to study the earliest stages of high-mass star formation, especially towards the most massive condensations. High-spatial resolution observations in the millimeter range might reveal how these stars form and how they assemble their mass. We want to study the fragmentation process down to the 0.01pc scale in the most massive condensation (1700M_{sun}_) observed at the south-western edge of the HII region RCW 120 where the most massive Herschel cores (~124M_{sun}_ in average) could form high-mass stars. Using ALMA 3mm continuum observations towards the densest and most massive millimetric condensation (Condensation 1) of RCW 120, we used the getimages and getsources algorithms to extract the sources detected with ALMA and obtained their physical parameters. The fragmentation of the Herschel cores is discussed through their Jeans mass to understand the properties of the future stars. We extracted 18 fragments from the ALMA continuum observation at 3mm towards 8 cores detected with Herschel, whose mass and deconvolved size range from 2M_{sun}_ to 32M_{sun}_ and from 1.6mpc to 28.8mpc, respectively. The low degree of fragmentation observed, regarding to the thermal Jeans fragmentation, suggests that the observed fragmentation is inconsistent with ideal gravitational fragmentation and other ingredients such as turbulence or magnetic fields should be added in order to explain it. Finally, the range of fragments' mass indicates that the densest condensation of RCW 120 is a favourable place for the formation of high-mass stars with the presence of a probable UCHII region associated with the 27M_{sun}_ Fragment 1 of Core 2.

- Short Name:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- A large number (67) of the compact/ultra-compact HII regions identified in the Coordinated Radio and Infrared Survey for High-Mass Star Formation catalogue were determined to be powered by a Lyman continuum flux in excess of what was expected given their corresponding luminosity. In this study we attempt to reasonably explain the Lyman excess phenomenon in as many of the 67 HII regions as possible through a variety of observational and astrophysical means including new luminosity estimates, new Herschel photometry, new distance determinations, the use of different models for dust and ionized gas covering factors, and the use of different stellar calibrations. This phenomenon has been observed before; however, the objects shown to exhibit this behaviour in the literature have decidedly different physical properties than the regions in our sample, and thus the origin of the excess is not the same. We find that the excess can be reproduced using OB stellar atmosphere models that have been slightly modified in the extreme ultraviolet. Though the exact mechanism producing the excess is still uncertain, we do find that a scaled up magnetospheric accretion model, often used to explain similar emission from T Tauri stars, is unable to match our observations. Our results suggest that the Lyman excess may be associated with younger HII regions, and that it is more commonly found in early B-type stars. Our refined sample of 24 Lyman excess HII regions provides an ideal sample for comparative studies with regular HII regions, and can act as the basis for the further detailed study of individual regions.

- Description:
- The luminous blue variable (LBV) RMC143 is located in the outskirts of the 30~Doradus complex, a region rich with interstellar material and hot luminous stars. We report the 3{sigma} sub-millimetre detection of its circumstellar nebula with ALMA. The observed morphology in the sub-millimetre is different than previously observed with HST and ATCA in the optical and centimetre wavelength regimes. The spectral energy distribution (SED) of RMC suggests that two emission mechanisms contribute to the sub-mm emission: optically thin bremsstrahlung and dust. Both the extinction map and the SED are consistent with a dusty massive nebula with a dust mass of 0.055+/-0.018M_{sun}_ (assuming {kappa}_850_=1.7cm^2^/g). To date, RMC143 has the most dusty LBV nebula observed in the Magellanic Clouds. We have also re-examined the LBV classification of RMC143 based on VLT/X-shooter spectra obtained in 2015/16 and a review of the publication record. The radiative transfer code CMFGEN is used to derive its fundamental stellar parameters. We find an effective temperature of ~8500K, luminosity of log(L/L_{sun}_)=5.32, and a relatively high mass-loss rate of 1.0x10^-5^M_{sun}_/yr. The luminosity is much lower than previously thought, which implies that the current stellar mass of ~8M_{sun}_ is comparable to its nebular mass of ~5.5~M_{sun}_ (from an assumed gas-to-dust ratio of 100), suggesting that the star has lost a large fraction of its initial mass in past LBV eruptions or binary interactions. While the star may have been hotter in the past, it is currently not hot enough to ionize its circumstellar nebula. We propose that the nebula is ionized externally by the hot stars in the 30 Doradus star-forming region.

- Rotational spectrum of ^13^C methylamine
- Short Name:

- Description:
- Methylamine (CH_3_NH_2_) is a light molecule of astrophysical interest, which has an intensive rotational spectrum that extends in the submillimeter wave range and far beyond, even at temperatures characteristic for the interstellar medium. It is likely for ^13^C isotopologue of methylamine to be identified in astronomical surveys, but there is no information available for the ^13^CH_3_NH_2_ millimeter and submillimeter wave spectra. In this context, to provide reliable predictions of ^13^CH_3_NH_2_ spectrum in millimeter and submillimeter wave ranges, we have studied rotational spectra of the 13C methylamine isotopologue in the frequency range from 48 to 945GHz. The spectrum of ^13^C methylamine was recorded using conventional absorption spectrometers in Lille and Kharkov. The analysis of the rotational spectrum of ^13^C methylamine in the ground vibrational state was performed on the basis of the group- theoretical high-barrier tunneling Hamiltonian that was developed for methylamine by Ohashi and Hougen. The available multiple observations of the parent methylamine species toward Sgr B2(N) at 1, 2, and 3mm using the Submillimeter Telescope and the 12 m antenna of the Arizona Radio Observatory were used to make a search for interstellar ^13^CH_3_NH_2_. In the recorded spectra, we have assigned 2721 rotational transitions that belong to the ground vibrational state of the ^13^CH_3_NH_2_. These measurements were fitted to the Hamiltonian model that uses 75 parameters to achieve an overall weighted rms deviation of 0.73. On the basis of these spectroscopic results, predictions of transition frequencies in the frequency range up to 950GHz with J<50 and Ka<20 are presented. The search for interstellar ^13^C methylamine in available observational data was not successful and therefore only an upper limit of 6.5x10^14^cm^-2^ can be derived for the column density of ^13^CH_3_NH_2_ toward Sgr B2(N), assuming the same source size, temperature, linewidth, and systemic velocity as for parent methylamine isotopic species.

- Description:
- Aminoacetonitrile has been detected in the interstellar medium and the Strecker-type synthesis is considered as one of its possible mechanisms of formation in this medium. Methyleneaminoacetonitrile (CH_2_=N-CH_2_-CN, MAAN) is one of the by-products of the Strecker reaction and a good candidate for astrophysical detection. Rotational spectrum of MAAN has never been studied before. To provide the basis for the detection of MAAN in the interstellar medium we studied its millimeter and submillimeter-wave spectrum. The rotational spectrum of MAAN was measured in the frequency range 120-600GHz. The spectroscopic study was supported by theoretical calculations of the molecular structure and harmonic force field. The ground and two lowest excited vibrational states of the most stable synperiplanar conformation of MAAN were assigned and analyzed. Obtained sets of rotational constants allows us to make accurate predictions of transition frequencies of MAAN in the frequency range up to 900GHz.

- Description:
- The rotational-torsional spectrum of the syn conformer of methyl carbamate [CH_3_OC(:O)NH_2_], an isomer of the essential amino acid glycine [NH_2_CH_2_C(:O)OH], has been recorded at room temperature in the spectral region from 79 to 371GHz. Methyl carbamate possesses a methyl group internal rotor, which gives rise to A and E torsional substates, and associated splittings in the rotational spectrum. Almost 6000 new rotational transitions arising from the vibrational ground state have been assigned, about half of them belonging to the E torsional substate. The Fast Scan Submillimeter-wave Spectroscopic Technique (FASSST) spectrometer at the Ohio State University was used for the present measurements

- Description:
- The formation of massive stars and their arrival on the zero-age main-sequence occurs hidden behind dense clouds of gas and dust. In the giant HII region NGC 3603, the radiation of a young cluster of OB stars has dispersed dust and gas in its vicinity. At a projected distance of 2.5pc from the cluster, a bright mid-infrared (mid-IR) source (IRS 9A) was identified as a massive young stellar object (MYSO), located on the side of a molecular clump (MM2) of gas facing the cluster. We investigated the physical conditions in MM2, based on APEX sub-mm observations using the SABOCA and SHFI instruments, and archival ATCA 3mm continuum and CS spectral line data. We resolved MM2 into several compact cores, one of them closely associated with IRS 9A. These are likely to be infrared dark clouds because they do not show the typical hot-core emission lines and are mostly opaque against the mid-IR background. The compact cores have masses of up to several hundred times the solar mass and gas temperatures of about 50K, without evidence of internal ionizing sources. We speculate that IRS 9A is younger than the cluster stars, but is in an evolutionary state after the compact cores.
