  • NGVLA Observations of Dense Gas Filaments in Star-Forming Regions
    NGVLA Observations of Dense Gas Filaments in Star-Forming Regions James Di Francesco (NRC Canada, U. Victoria), Jared Keown (U. Victoria), Mike Chen (U. Victoria), Erik Rosolowsky (U. Alberta), Rachel Friesen (NRAO), and the GAS and KEYSTONE teams Background: Herschel and JCMT continuum observations of nearby star-forming regions have revealed that filaments are ubiquitous structures within molecular clouds (André et al. 2014). Such filaments appear to be intimately connected to star formation, with those having column densities of AV > 8 in particular hosting the majority of prestellar cores and protostars in clouds (Könyves et al. 2015). This “threshold” can be explained simply as the result of supercritical cylinder fragmentation (cf. Inutsuka & Miyama 1992). Though gravity and turbulence are likely involved, specifically how star-forming filaments form and evolve in molecular clouds remains unclear. Kinematic probes are needed to understand how mass flows both onto and through filaments, leading to star formation. Current Observations: We show here preliminary results from the recent GAS (PIs: R. Friesen & J. Pineda) and KEYSTONE (PI: J. Di Francesco) surveys that have used the Green Bank Telescope’s K-band Focal Plane Array to map NH3 emission from dense gas in nearby star-forming regions. As a tracer of gas of 3 -3 density > 10 cm , NH3 emission can reveal filament kinematics, dynamics, and kinetic temperatures from line velocities, widths, and ratios, respectively.

  • National Radio Astronomy Observatory 1977 National Radio Astronomy Observatory
    NATIONAL RADIO ASTRONOMY OBSERVATORY 1977 NATIONAL RADIO ASTRONOMY OBSERVATORY 1977 OBSERVING SUMMARY Some Highlights of the 1976 Research Program The first two VIA antennas were used successfully as an interferometer in February, 1976. By the end of 1976, six antennas had been operated as an interferometer in test observing runs. Amongst the improvements to existing facilities are the new radiometers at 9 cm and at 25/6 cm for Green Bank. The pointing accuracy of the 140-foot antenna was improved by insulating critical parts of the structure. The 300-foot telescope was used to detect the redshifted hydrogen absorption feature in the spectrum of the radio source AO 0235+164. This is the first instance in which optical and radio spectral lines have been measured in a source having large redshift. The 140-foot telescope was used as an element of a Very Long Baseline Interferometer in the de¬ tection of an extremely small radio source in the Galactic Center. This source, with dimensions less than the solar system, is similar to, but less luminous than, compact sources observed in other galaxies. The interferometer was used to detect emission from the binary HR1099. Subsequently, a large radio flare was observed simultaneously with a Ly-a and H-cc outburst from the star. New molecules detected with the 36-foot telescope include a number of deuterated species such as DC0+, and ketene, the least saturated version of the CCO molecule frame.

Cygnus OB2 is one of the richest OB associations in the local Galaxy, and is located in a vast complex containing several other associations, clusters, molecular clouds, and HII regions. However, the stellar content of Cygnus OB2 and its surroundings remains rather poorly known largely due to the considerable reddening in its direction at visible wavelength. Aims. We investigate the possible existence of an extended halo of early-type stars around Cygnus OB2, which is hinted at by near- infrared color-color diagrams, and its relationship to Cygnus OB2 itself, as well as to the nearby association Cygnus OB9 and to the star forming regions in the Cygnus X North complex. Methods. Candidate selection is made with photometry in the 2MASS all-sky point source catalog. The early-type nature of the selected candidates is conrmed or discarded through our infrared spectroscopy at low resolution. In addition, spectral classications in the visible are presented for many lightly-reddened stars. Results. A total of 96 early-type stars are identied in the targeted region, which amounts to nearly half of the observed sample.

Cygnus X is one of the most complex areas in the sky, rich in massive stars; Cyg OB2 (2600 stars, 120 O stars) and other OB associations lie within its boundaries. This complicates interpretation, but also creates the opportunity to investigate accretion into molecular clouds and many subsequent stages of star formation, all within one small field of view. Understanding large complexes like Cygnus X is the key to understanding the dominant role that massive star complexes play in galaxies across the Universe. Aims. The main goal of this study is to establish feasibility of a high-resolution CO survey of the entire Cygnus X region by observing part of it as a pathfinder, and to evaluate the survey as a tool for investigating the star-formation process. We can investigate the mass accretion history of outflows, study interaction between star-forming regions and their cold environment, and examine triggered star formation around massive stars.

Based on our analysis of the Kepler light curve, we determined Kepler-1655b's radius to be 2.213±0.082 R⊕. We acquired 95 high-resolution spectra with TNG/HARPS-N, enabling us 3:1 to characterize the host star and determine an accurate mass for Kepler-1655b of 5.0±2:8 M⊕ via Gaussian-process regression. Our mass determination excludes an Earth-like composition with 98% confidence. Kepler-1655b falls on the upper edge of the evaporation valley, in the relatively sparsely occupied transition region between rocky and gas-rich planets. It is therefore part of a population of planets that we should actively seek to characterize further.

  • The Dependence of Protostellar Luminosity on Environment in the Cygnus-X Star-Forming Complex
    The Dependence of Protostellar Luminosity on Environment in the Cygnus-X Star-Forming Complex E. Kryukova1, S. T. Megeath1, J. L. Hora2, R. A. Gutermuth3, S. Bontemps4,5, K. Kraemer6, M. Hennemann7, N. Schneider4,5, Howard A. Smith2, F. Motte7 ABSTRACT The Cygnus-X star-forming complex is one of the most active regions of low and high mass star formation within 2 kpc of the Sun. Using mid-infrared pho- tometry from the IRAC and MIPS Spitzer Cygnus-X Legacy Survey, we have identified over 1800 protostar candidates. We compare the protostellar lumi- nosity functions of two regions within Cygnus-X: CygX-South and CygX-North. These two clouds show distinctly different morphologies suggestive of dissimilar star-forming environments. We find the luminosity functions of these two regions are statistically different. Furthermore, we compare the luminosity functions of protostars found in regions of high and low stellar density within Cygnus-X and find that the luminosity function in regions of high stellar density is biased to higher luminosities. In total, these observations provide further evidence that the luminosities of protostars depend on their natal environment. We discuss the implications this dependence has for the star formation process.

Cygnus OB2 is one of the richest OB associations in the local Galaxy, and is located in a vast complex containing several other associations, clusters, molecular clouds, and HII regions. However, the stellar content of Cygnus OB2 and its surroundings remains rather poorly known largely due to the considerable reddening in its direction at visible wavelength. Aims. We investigate the possible existence of an extended halo of early-type stars around Cygnus OB2, which is hinted at by near- infrared color–color diagrams, and its relationship to Cygnus OB2 itself, as well as to the nearby association Cygnus OB9 and to the star forming regions in the Cygnus X North complex. Methods. Candidate selection is made with photometry in the 2MASS all-sky point source catalog. The early-type nature of the selected candidates is confirmed or discarded through our infrared spectroscopy at low resolution. In addition, spectral classifications in the visible are presented for many lightly-reddened stars. Results. A total of 96 early-type stars are identified in the targeted region, which amounts to nearly half of the observed sample.
