CHEMISTRY IN INFRARED DARK CLOUD CLUMPS: A MOLECULAR LINE SURVEY AT 3 mm (2011, methodology): “They also correspond to the densest clouds embedded within giant molecular clouds (Simon et al. 2006b).”
A CLASS I AND CLASS II CH3OH MASER SURVEY OF EGOs FROM THE GLIMPSE SURVEY (2009, background): “…against MIR Galactic background emission, particularly at 8 µm (Churchwell et al. 2009) surveys of the Galactic Plane, IRDCs are cold (T<20 K), dense (n(H 2 )>10 5 cm −3 ) clouds of molecular gas and dust (e.g. Carey et al. 1998; Egan et al. 1998; Hennebelle et al. 2001; Simon et al. 2006a,b).”
Hierarchical fragmentation and differential star formation in the Galactic ‘Snake’: infrared dark cloud G11.11−0.12 (2014, background): “This is what led to the cloud complexes containing such regions tobe ⋆ E-mail: kwang@eso.org coined “infrared-dark clouds” (IRDCs; Perault et al. 1996;Egan et al. 1998; Hennebelle et al. 2001; Simon et al. 2006a,b; Peretto & Fuller 2009).”
STAR FORMATION ACTIVITY OF CORES WITHIN INFRARED DARK CLOUDS (2009, methodology): “In this paper, we use the mm continuum to identify IRDCs, but for future work we can also use the Catalog of IRDC candidates of Simon et al. (2006a) for this purpose.”
Fragmentation and mass segregation in the massive dense cores of Cygnus X (2009, background): “…2002, Faúndez et al. 2004), and more recently inside the dark filaments seen in the infrared surveys of the Galactic plane, the so-called IRDCs (e.g. Simon et al. 2006, and references therein), have found a number of candidates to host such precursors (Rathborne et al. 2006, Pillai et al. 2006).”
Cold Dark Clouds: The Initial Conditions for Star Formation (2007, background): “A compilation of MSX dark objects finds over 10,000 sources with kinematic distances between 1–8 pc with a distribution that peaks towards prominent star forming regions, spiral arm tangents, and the 5 kpc Galactic Molecular Ring (Simon et al. 2006).”
Planck 2015 results - XXVIII. The Planck Catalogue of Galactic cold clumps (2015, unknown): “The locus of the Simon et al. (2006b) IRDCs properties is shown as red points, including local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) mass estimates.”
The evolution of the spectral energy distribution in massive young stellar objects (2008, background): “…and submm surveys are needed to extend the source coverage to equally massive but lower luminosity objects; the InfraRed Dark Clouds revealed by MSX (Egan et al. 1998; Carey et al. 2000; Simon et al. 2006) are very promising objects to investigate for the earlier stages of massive star formation.”
Slow Star Formation in Dense Gas: Evidence and Implications (2006, methodology): “Infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) are regions of high extinction seen in absorption against the Galactic infrared background (Egan et al. 1998; Carey et al. 2000; Simon et al. 2006).”
THE BOLOCAM GALACTIC PLANE SURVEY: SURVEY DESCRIPTION AND DATA REDUCTION (2010, methodology): “IRDCs have now been extensively cataloged with MSX (Simon et al. 2006a) and GLIMPSE 8 μm data (Peretto & Fuller 2009).”
Characterizing precursors to stellar clusters with Herschel (2011, unknown): “There is a slight decrement at 8 µm that is nearly consistent with background fluctuations as this source was not detected in the IRDC catalogs of Peretto & Fuller (2009) or Simon et al. (2006).”
The initial conditions of stellar protocluster formation - I. A catalogue of Spitzer dark clouds (2009, methodology): “Indeed, the large infrared surveys these satellites carried out identified infrared dark structures, seen in absorption from 7 to 25µm against the background emission (Perault et al. 1996; Hennebelle et al. 2001; Egan et al. 1998; Simon et al. 2006a) .”
A CATALOG OF EXTENDED GREEN OBJECTS IN THE GLIMPSE SURVEY: A NEW SAMPLE OF MASSIVE YOUNG STELLAR OBJECT OUTFLOW CANDIDATES (2008, methodology): “The range of distances–from 2.6 to 5.3 kpc–is typical of distances to MSFR in the Galactic Plane and to IRDCs as determined by Simon et al. (2006b) from 13CO emission.”
Infrared Dark Clouds: Precursors to Star Clusters (2004, methodology): “The total number of IRDCs in the Galaxy is not yet known.”
Ammonia from cold high-mass clumps discovered in the inner Galactic disk by the ATLASGAL survey (2012, background): “Previous studies revealed that IRDCs are cold (<25 K), dense (>105 cm−3) and have high column densities (∼1023–1025 cm−2, Rathborne et al. 2006; Simon et al. 2006a).”
ATLASGAL - The APEX telescope large area survey of the galaxy at 870 μm (2009, background): “Alternatively, dense condensations in Infrared Dark Clouds (IRDCs, see Simon et al. 2006, for a compilation) are promising hunting grounds for the initial stages of high-mass star formation (e.g., Rathborne et al. 2006; see also the reviewsby Menten et al. 2005; Wyrowski 2008).”
THE “NESSIE” NEBULA: CLUSTER FORMATION IN A FILAMENTARY INFRARED DARK CLOUD (2009, background): “A few of these embedded young stellar objects will evolve into high-mass stars (e.g., Beuther et al. 2005; Rathborne et al. 2005, 2006, 2007; Simon et al. 2006; Pillai et al. 2006; Beuther & Steinacker 2007).”
