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.

Today is Nobel Prizewinner Erwin Schrödinger's birthday... Or is it? Love this graphic by the very talented @twisteddoodles #HappyBirthdaySchrodinger
Today is the birthday of Nobel Prizewinner Erwin Schrödinger! The famous physicist was the first Director of the School of Theoretical Physics here at DIAS and is known for his series of public lectures, known as the ‘What is Life?’ Lectures. #HappyBirthdaySchrodinger
*Sharing facts about E. Schrödinger to mark his bday tomorrow!* Did you know we donated a letter from F. Crick to Schrödinger which credits his influence in Crick & Watson discovery of DNA to @dublinmuseum earlier this yr. Go and check it out on display!#HappyBirthdaySchrodinger
To mark the 131st birthday of Erwin Schrödinger, we are sharing some interesting facts about the Nobel Prizewinner. Did you know he spent longer at @DIAS_Dublin researching than at any other institute he was based at. #HappyBirthdaySchrodinger
Tomorrow is Nobel Prizewinner Erwin Schrödinger's birthday. He would be the impressive age of 131! #HappyBirthdaySchrödinger
Check out this Editors' Highlights post @AGU_Eos by Dr Sergei Lebedev from #DIASDublin “Are Diamonds Ubiquitous Beneath Old Stable Continents?” published on Eos.org this week eos.org/editor-highlig…
29/8/18 #WomenInMathematics Day Ireland 2018 @UCDMathStat @WiMDI18 conference will feature a celebration of Dr Sheila Tinney’s work. Dr Tinney was the first female fellow of #DIASDublin & one of the first Research Associates at #DIASDublin More details: ucd.ie/mathstat/newsa…
