Molecular clumps in the W51 giant molecular cloud
In this paper, we present a catalogue of dense molecular clumps located within the W51 giant molecular cloud (GMC). This work is based on Heterodyne Array Receiver Programme 13CO J = 3–2 observations of the W51 GMC and uses the automated CLUMPFIND algorithm to decompose the region into a total of 1575 clumps of which 1130 are associated with the W51 GMC. We clearly see the distinct structures o...
متن کاملAnalysis of Clumps in Molecular Cloud Models: Mass Spectrum, Shapes, Alignment and Rotation
Observations reveal concentrations of molecular line emission on the sky, called “clumps,” in dense, star-forming molecular clouds. These clumps are believed to be the eventual sites of star formation. We study the three-dimensional analogs of clumps using a set of self-consistent, time-dependent numerical models of molecular clouds. The models follow the decay of initially supersonic turbulenc...
متن کاملHh Illumination of Clumps within Molecular Clouds
Molecular clouds are clumpy. Much of the clumpiness is unresolved by single-dish telescopes but is apparent in the data from array telescopes. Even in the unresolved observational data, the existence of clumpiness can be inferred from the distribution of molecular species. This evidence requires that “early-time” molecular species are widespread, while “late-time” species are more confined, and...
متن کاملThe structure of molecular clumps around high - mass young stellar objects ⋆
We have used the IRAM 30-m and FCRAO 14-m telescopes to observe the molecular clumps associated with 12 ultracompact (UC) Hii regions in the J=6–5, 8–7 and 13–12 rotational transitions of methyl-acetylene (CH3C2H). Under the assumption of LTE and optically thin emission, we have derived temperature estimates ranging from 30 to 56 K. We estimate that the clumps have diameters of 0.2–1.6 pc, H2 d...
متن کاملA molecular - line study of clumps with embedded high - mass protostar candidates
We present molecular line observations made with the IRAM 30-m telescope of the immediate surroundings of a sample of 11 candidate high-mass protostars. These observations are part of an effort to clarify the evolutionary status of a set of objects which we consider to be precursors of UC Hii regions. In a preceding series of papers we have studied a sample of objects, which on the basis of the...
