Journal ArticleDOI
The Boston University-Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory Galactic Ring Survey
James M. Jackson,Jill Rathborne,Ronak Y. Shah,Robert Simon,Robert Simon,T. M. Bania,Dan P. Clemens,Edward Chambers,A. M. Johnson,M. Dormody,R. Lavoie,Mark H. Heyer +11 more
TL;DR: The Boston University-Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory Galactic Ring Survey is a new survey of Galactic 13CO J = 1 → 0 emission as mentioned in this paper. The survey used the SEQUOIA multipixel array on the Five College Radio Observatory 14 m telescope to cover a longitude range of l = 18°-557 and a latitude range of |b| 40°.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared dark clouds: precursors to star clusters
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that IRDCs represent an earlier evolutionary phase in high-mass star formation and that they contain many compact cores and have the same sizes and masses as molecular clumps associated with young clusters, supporting the idea that all stars may form in such clumps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical Properties and Galactic Distribution of Molecular Clouds Identified in the Galactic Ring Survey
Julia Roman-Duval,Julia Roman-Duval,James M. Jackson,Mark H. Heyer,Jill Rathborne,Jill Rathborne,Robert Simon +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the physical properties of 580 molecular clouds based on their 12CO and 13CO line emission detected in the UMSB and Galactic Ring surveys, and found a power-law correlation between their radii and masses, suggesting that the fractal dimension of the interstellar medium is around 2.36.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Nature of the Dense Core Population in the Pipe Nebula: Thermal Cores Under Pressure
TL;DR: In this article, an entire population of predominately starless dust cores within a single molecular cloud, the Pipe Nebula, was analyzed using extinction data and the results showed that the cores were dense objects characterized by a narrow range of density with a median value of n(H2) = 7? 103.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinematic Distances to Molecular Clouds identified in the Galactic Ring Survey
Julia Roman-Duval,James M. Jackson,Mark H. Heyer,A. M. Johnson,Jill Rathborne,Ronak Y. Shah,Robert Simon +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the kinematic distance to 750 molecular clouds identified in the 13 CO J = 1 → 0 Boston University-Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory Galactic Ring Survey (GRS) assuming the Clemens rotation curve of the Galaxy.
