ATLASGAL – environments of 6.7 GHz methanol masers

Using the 870 μm APEX Telescope large area survey of the Galaxy, we have identified 577 submillimetre continuum sources with masers from the methanol multibeam survey in the region 280° 20 M.…

ATLASGAL — towards a complete sample of massive star forming clumps ⋆

By matching infrared-selected, massive young stellar objects (MYSOs) and compact HII regions in the RMS survey to massive clumps found in the submillimetre ATLASGAL survey, we have identified ∼1000…

Dynamic star formation in the massive DR21 filament

The formation of massive stars is a highly complex process in which it is not clear whether the star-forming gas is in global gravitational collapse or in an equilibrium state, supported by…

Fragmentation and mass segregation in the massive dense cores of Cygnus X

Massive dense cores (MDCs) are the high-mass equivalent of the so-called dense cores in nearby star-forming regions. With typical sizes of 0.1 pc, they could form either a few high-mass stars, or a…

The physical and chemical structure of Sagittarius B2, I. Three-dimensional thermal dust and free-free continuum modeling on 100 au to 45 pc scales

We model the dust and free-free continuum emission in the high-mass star-forming region Sagittarius B2 in order to reconstruct the three-dimensional density and dust temperature distribution, as a…

The spine of the swan: a Herschel study of the DR21 ridge and filaments in Cygnus X

In order to characterise the cloud structures responsible for the formation of high-mass stars, we present Herschel observations of the DR21 environment. Maps of the column density and dust…

ATLASGAL-selected massive clumps in the inner Galaxy

Context. Deuteration has been used as a tracer of the evolutionary phases of low- and high-mass star formation. The APEX Telescope Large Area Survey (ATLASGAL) provides an important repository for a…

The ATLASGAL survey: a catalog of dust condensations in the Galactic plane

The formation processes and the evolutionary stages of high-mass stars are poorly understood compared to low-mass stars. Large-scale surveys are needed to provide an unbiased census of high column…

Understanding star formation in molecular clouds - I. Effects of line-of-sight contamination on the column density structure

Column-density maps of molecular clouds are one of the most important observables in the context of molecular cloud- and star-formation (SF) studies. With the Herschel satellite it is now possible to…

The rate and latency of star formation in dense, massive clumps in the Milky Way

Newborn stars form within the localized, high density regions of molecular clouds. The sequence and rate at which stars form in dense clumps and the dependence on local and global environments are…
