Infall and Outflow Motions towards a Sample of Massive Star Forming Regions
Abstract:
Infall and outflow motions are an imperative part of the star formation process. However, we currently lack a clear understanding of how they change with evolutionary stage and how infall and outflow motions influence the formation process. I will present results of a distance limited outflow and infall survey undertaken with the JCMT towards a sample of 31 MYSOs and ultra-compact HII (UCHII) regions drawn from the RMS survey (Cunningham et al. 2018). Where, the presence of young, active outflows is identified from the SiO (8-7) emission and previous CO (3-2) data (Maud et al. 2015b) are used to determine outflow properties. The infall motions and bulk properties of each region are determined from the HCO+/H13CO+ (4-3) emission. Active outflows are detected towards approximately 50% of our sample compared with <10% of the sources displaying infall signatures. I will discuss the differences found towards massive star forming hosting active outflows compared with those hosting potentially fossil, momentum outflows. In addition, I will show a comparison of the JCMT results, which trace larger
spatial scales, with previous high spatial resolution SMA observations for a sub-sample of these regions (Cunningham et al. 2016). Finally, I will present some recent Green Bank Telescope observations of HCO+/H13CO+ (1-0) taken with the new instrument, Argus (~9" resolution), towards a sub-set of these regions. These new observations allow us to explore and trace kinematics on cloud scales down to core type scales at a resolution of <0.1pc, providing a valuable comparison between the infall kinematics traced by HCO+ (4-3) and HCO+ (1-0) in these regions.

Don't forget that the "Forecasting the Unpredictable: earthquake science in a crowded world" public lecture is being given tomorrow in @tcddublin by Professor John McCloskey, Chair in Natural Hazards Science at @EdinburghUni. All info at bit.ly/2QphEQJ. #DIASdiscovers
Cornelius Lanczos was a Senior Prof at the @StpDias from 1954 to 1968. #DIASdiscovers
.@petertgallagher, Senior Professor @DIAS_Astronomy has a letter in the @IrishTimes on the distinguished astronomical heritage that Ireland has in our observatories at Dunsink, Armagh and Birr, and the contribution they have made to our country. #DIASdiscovers twitter.com/petertgallaghe…
‘The scientist only imposes two things, namely truth and sincerity, imposes them upon himself and upon other scientists’ – Erwin Schrodinger. Schrodinger was the first Director of Theoretical Physics at DIAS. #DIASdiscovers
At DIAS we contribute to the implementation of a range of national strategies and road maps – Innovation 2020, the National Strategy for Higher Education 2030, the Action Plan for Education and the Global Island policy. We have the future of Ireland at the core of our vision.
We have a rich legacy in space tech development at DIAS.Currently @dias_astronomy has a detector development group is developing hardware for the ARIEL satellite mission, & is collaborating to develop hardware and software for the James Webb Space Telescope. #DIASdiscovers
The Irish Script on Screen, has digitised 400 manuscripts, and has in excess of 4million hits annually from over 150 countries. Tuilleadh eolas ar seo le fáil anseo: bit.ly/2QhGaDf #DIASdiscovers @DIAS_ISOS @SCSLibrary
J.L. Synge published his ’Relativity: The General Theory’ in 1960 and for more than a decade DIAS became the leading world centre for research in general relativity. #DIASdiscovers
At DIAS our mission is to provide a neutral dedicated #research space and a conducive intellectual environment for local and international researchers to conduct advanced studies, explore ideas, and engage in unconstrained thought. #DIASdiscovers
Thank you Luke.We're certainly looking forward to it. Hoping you might make the next one. twitter.com/Luke_Drury/sta…
Huge congratulations to the @IrishResearch Council on their awards ceremony last night - recognising the fantastic work of their researchers, and the incredible research being done here in Ireland! #LoveIrishResearch
‘Forecasting the Unpredictable: earthquake science in a crowded world.’ On Dec 12, 6.30pm Prof. John McCluskey @EdinburghUni will be discussing science of earthquakes at our public lecture in the Schrodinger Theatre @tcddublin. Admission free, all welcome. bit.ly/2AqmORP
@DublinPubhD Thanks for the support!
At DIAS, our mission is to enable researchers at all career stages to flourish and fulfil their research potential, and to train talented scholars in advanced research.#DIASdiscovers
DIAS was established in 1940 as the world’s second, and Europe’s first, institute with an exclusive focus on research and advanced studies. These are the minutes of the first DIAS International Colloquim in 1943! #DIASdiscovers
