- Description:
- These tables contain the data of the cloud sample on which the study of the relationships between cloud morphology, optical and IR properties, and star formation is based. The sample was defined using the extinction map of the Cepheus Flare region covering ~256 square degrees created from the B band star counts of the USNO-A2.0 catalogue (Cat. <I/252>) with a typical resolution of 3 arcminutes on a 1.5 arcminute grid. Cloud definition and description was carried out using automatized methods. The main table lists the positions, peak extinctions, sizes, morphological parameters and classes, distances, mass estimations, parent cloud complexes, and the number of YSO candidates associated. An additional table with the names of the previously catalogued associated clouds and their references is also available.

- Description:
- We probe the column densities and masses traced by the ionized [CII] and neutral [CI] atomic carbon with spectrally resolved maps, and compare them to the diffuse and dense molecular gas traced by [CI] and low-J CO lines toward the star-forming region M17 SW. We mapped a 4.1pcx4.7pc region in the [CI] 609{mu}m line using the APEX telescope, as well as the CO isotopologues with the IRAM 30m telescope. Data are analyzed based on velocity channel maps that are 1km/s wide. We correlate their spatial distribution with that of the [CII] map obtained with SOFIA/GREAT. Optically thin approximations were used to estimate the column densities of [CI] and [CII] in each velocity channel.

- Description:
- We use 8.3{mu}m mid-infrared images acquired with the Midcourse Space Experiment satellite to identify and catalog infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) in the first and fourth quadrants of the Galactic plane. Because IRDCs are seen as dark extinction features against the diffuse Galactic infrared background, we identify them by first determining a model background from the 8.3{mu}m images and then searching for regions of high decremental contrast with respect to this background. IRDC candidates in our catalog are defined by contiguous regions bounded by closed contours of a 2{sigma} decremental contrast threshold. We identify 10,931 candidate IRDCs. For each IRDC, we also catalog cores. These cores, defined as localized regions with at least 40% higher extinction than the cloud's average extinction, are found by iteratively fitting two-dimensional elliptical Gaussian functions to the contrast peaks. We identify 12,774 cores. The catalog contains the position, angular size, orientation, area, peak contrast, peak contrast signal-to-noise, and integrated contrast of the candidate IRDCs and their cores.

- Description:
- Using the KOSMA 3-m telescope we have made observations of the ^12^CO(J=1-0), (J=2-1) and (J=3-2), and the ^13^CO(J=1-0) and (J=2-1) transitions of the high latitude cloud MBM 32. The backend consisted of a Medium Resolution (channel width 167kHz; MRS), or a High Resolution (channel width 38.6kHz; HRS) acousto-optical Spectrometer. The following tables contain properties of clumps derived from the maps, assuming Gaussian clump parameters from the ^12^CO(J=1-0) MRS data (Table 3) ^12^CO(J=1-0) HRS data (Table 4) ^12^CO(J=2-1) MRS data (Table 5) ^13^CO(J=1-0) HRS data (Table 6). We distinguish between different velocity components.

- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/156/127
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- With the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory, we have carried out an unbiased spectral line survey of Orion KL throughout the 350{mu}m band (from 795 to 903GHz). This is the first systematic study of molecular radiation in this frequency range. A total of 541 features, resulting from 929 transitions from a total of 26 species, have been detected. High-excitation transitions from CH_3_OH, CH_3_CN, H_2_CO, HNCO, and C_2_H_5_CN indicate the presence of a very hot (~250K) component at the systemic velocity characteristic of the Hot Core. Physical parameters (column density and rotational temperature) relative to a number of species have been estimated by fitting, in the LTE (Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium) approximation, the whole 100GHz spectrum at once, thus taking line blending and optical depth effects properly into account. We also report the tentative detection, for the first time outside the Galactic center region, of the radical NH2, one of the building blocks of the chemistry of ammonia.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We describe an L-band photometric survey of ~0.5deg^2^ of the Chamaeleon I dark cloud. The survey has a completeness limit of L<11.0. Our survey detects 124 sources, including all known pre-main-sequence stars with L<=11. The fraction of sources with near-IR excess emission is 58%+/-4% for K=9-11. Cha I sources have bluer H-K and K-L colors than pre-main-sequence stars in Taurus-Auriga. These sources also have a strong correlation between EW(H{alpha} and K-L. Stars with K-L<=0.6 have weak H{alpha} emission; stars with K-L>=0.6 have strong H{alpha]mission. Because many Cha I sources are heavily reddened, this division between weak emission T Tauri stars and classical T Tauri stars occurs at a redder K-L than in Taurus-Auriga. We acquired L-band photometry of Cha I sources and standard stars using the South Pole Infrared Explorer (SPIREX) during the 1999 March-October observing season. The SPIREX 60cm telescope developed by CARA for observations at the South Pole was equipped with the NOAO/KPNO Abu infrared camera, which includes a first generation 1024x1024 InSb detector array.

- Description:
- Dense molecular filaments are ubiquituous in the interstellar medium, yet their internal physical conditions and the role of gravity, turbulence, the magnetic field, radiation, and the ambient cloud during their evolution remain debated. We study the kinematics and physical conditions in the Musca filament, the ambient cloud, and the Chamaeleon-Musca complex to constrain the physics of filament formation. We produced CO(2-1) isotopologue maps with the APEX telescope that cut through the Musca filament. We further study a NANTEN2 ^12^CO(1-6>0) map of the full Musca cloud, HI emission of the Chamaeleon-Musca complex, a Planck polarisation map, line radiative tranfer models, Gaia data, and synthetic observations from filament formation simulations. The Musca cloud, with a size of ~3-6pc, contains multiple velocity components. Radiative transfer modelling of the CO emission indicates that the Musca filament consists of a cold (~10K), dense (n_H2_~10^4^cm^-3^) crest, which is best described with a cylindrical geometry. Connected to the crest, a separate gas component at T~15K and n_H2_~10^3^cm^-3^ is found, the so-called strands. The velocity-coherent filament crest has an organised transverse velocity gradient that is linked to the kinematics of the nearby ambient cloud. This velocity gradient has an angle >=30{deg} with respect to the local magnetic field orientation derived from Planck, and the magnitude of the velocity gradient is similar to the transonic linewidth of the filament crest. Studying the large scale kinematics, we find coherence of the asymmetric kinematics from the 50pc HI cloud down to the Musca filament. We also report a strong [C^18^O]/[^13^CO] abundance drop by an order of magnitude from the filament crest to the strands over a distance <0.2pc in a weak ambient far-ultraviolet (FUV) field. The dense Musca filament crest is a long-lived (several crossing times), dynamic structure that can form stars in the near future because of continuous mass accretion replenishing the filament. This mass accretion on the filament appears to be triggered by a HI cloud-cloud collision, which bends the magnetic field around dense filaments. This bending of the magnetic field is then responsible for the observed asymmetric accretion scenario of the Musca filament, which is, for instance, seen as a V-shape in the position-velocity (PV) diagram.

- M83 volume densities of giant molecular clouds

- Description:
- Using observed GALEX far-ultraviolet (FUV) fluxes and VLA images of the 21-cm HIcolumn densities, along with estimates of the local dust abundances, we measure the volume densities of a sample of actively star-forming giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in the nearby spiral galaxy M83 on a typical resolution scale of 170 pc. Our approach is based on an equilibrium model for the cycle of molecular hydrogen formation on dust grains and photodissociation under the influence of the FUV radiation on the cloud surfaces of GMCs. We find a range of total volume densities on the surface of GMCs in M83, namely 0.1-400cm^-3^ inside R_25_, 0.5-50cm^-3^ outside R_25_. Our data include a number of GMCs in the HI-ring surrounding this galaxy. Finally, we discuss the effects of observational selection, which may bias our results.

- N131 bubble CO (3-2), (2-1) and (1-0) observations
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- N131 is a typical infrared dust bubble showing an expanding ringlike shell. We study what kinds of CO line ratios can be used to trace the interaction in the expanding bubble. We carry out new CO (3-2) observations towards bubble N131 using JCMT 15-m telescope, and derive line ratios by combining with our previous CO (2-1) and CO (1-0) data from IRAM 30-m observations. To trace the interaction between the molecular gas and the ionized gas in the HII region, we use RADEX to model the dependence of CO line ratios on kinetic temperature and H_2_ volume density, and examine the abnormal line ratios based on other simulations. We present CO (3-2), CO (2-1), and CO (1-0) integrated intensity maps convolved to the same angular resolution (22.5"). The three different CO transition maps show apparently similar morphology. The line ratios of W_CO_(3-2)/W_CO_(2-1) mostly range from 0.2 to 1.2 with a median of 0.54+/-0.12, while the line ratios of W_CO_(2-1)/W_CO_(1-0) range from 0.5 to 1.6 with a median of 0.84+/-0.15. The high CO line ratios W_CO_(3-2)/W_CO_(2-1)>0.8 and W_CO_(2-1)/W_CO_(1-0)>1.2 are beyond the threshold predicted by numerical simulations based on the assumed density-temperature structure for the inner rims of ringlike shell, where are the compressed areas in bubble N131. These high CO integrated intensity ratios, such as W_CO_(3-2)/W_CO_(2-1)>0.8 and W_CO_(2-1)/W_CO_(1-0)>1.2, can be used as a tracer of gas compressed regions with a relatively high temperature and density. This further suggests that the non-Gaussian part of the line-ratio distribution can be used to trace the interaction between the molecular gas and the hot gas in the bubble.

- Description:
- OB-type stars have strong ionizing radiation and drive energetic winds. The ultraviolet radiation from ionizing stars may heat dust and ionize gas to sweep up an expanding bubble shell. This shell may be the result of feedback leading to a new generation of stars. N131 is an infrared dust bubble residing in a molecular filament. We study the formation and fragmentation of this bubble with multiwavelength dust and gas observations. Towards the bubble N131, we analysed archival multiwavelength observations including 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0, 24, 70, 160, 250, 350, 500um, 1.1mm, and 21cm. In addition, we performed new observations of CO (2-1), CO (1-0), and ^13^CO (1-0) with the IRAM 30m telescope.
