Mid-infrared Extinction Mapping of Infrared Dark Clouds: Probing the Initial Conditions for Massive Stars and Star Clusters
Infrared Dark Clouds (IRDCs) are cold, dense regions of giant molecular clouds that are opaque at wavelengths ∼ 10μm or more and thus appear dark against the diffuse Galactic background emission. They are thought to be the progenitors of massive stars and star clusters. We use 8 μm imaging data from Spitzer GLIMPSE to make extinction maps of 10 IRDCs, selected to be relatively nearby and massiv...
متن کاملAmmonia in Infrared Dark Clouds
Context. While low mass clouds have been relatively well studied, our picture of high-mass star formation remains unclear. Infrared Dark Clouds appear to be the long sought population of cold and dense aggregations with the potential of harbouring the earliest stages of massive star formation. Up to now there has been no systematic study on the temperature distribution, velocity fields, chemica...
متن کاملProbing ice clouds by mid-infrared extinction spectroscopy
Series of infrared extinction spectra of ice crystals were recorded in the 6000–800 cm −1 wavenumber regime during expansion cooling experiments in the large aerosol and cloud chamber AIDA of Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe. Either supercooled sulphuric acid solution droplets or dry mineral dust particles were added as seed aerosols to 5 initiate ice formation after having established ice supersatu...
متن کاملRadio-millimetre investigation of galactic infrared dark clouds
We present follow-up observations of the mid-Infrared dark clouds selected from the ISOGAL inner Galaxy sample. On-the-fly maps of CO, CO and the 1.2 mm continuum emission were conducted at the IRAM 30-m telescope, showing spectacular correlation with the mid-IR absorption. The dark clouds are distributed as far as the prominent molecular ring at a distance of 3 to 7 kpc from the Sun. The cloud...
متن کاملWidespread SiO and CH3OH emission in filamentary infrared dark clouds
Infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) are cold, dense regions of high (optical and infrared) extinction, believed to be the birthplace of high-mass stars and stellar clusters. The physical mechanisms leading to the formation of these IRDCs are not completely understood and it is thus important to study their molecular gas kinematics and chemical content to search for any signature of the IRDCs formation...
