RESOLVING THE LUMINOSITY PROBLEM IN LOW-MASS STAR FORMATION (2011, background): “…to the initial core mass and the empirically derived core mass function (CMF) of starless cores (Motte et al. 1998; Testi & Sargent 1998; 13 Johnstone et al. 2000, 2001; Motte et al. 2001; Johnstone & Bally 2006; Alves et al. 2007; Nutter & WardThompson 2007; Enoch et al. 2008; Hatchell &…”
MAMBO Mapping Of Spitzer c2d Small Clouds And Cores (2008, background): “…surveys studied dense cores in large (up to several 10 pc) and massive (up to several 103 M ) complexes of molecular clouds (Motte et al. 1998; Johnstone et al. 2000, 2001, 2004, 2006; Johnstone & Bally 2006; Hatchell et al. 2005; Enoch et al. 2006, 2007; Young K. E. et al. 2006; Stanke et…”
The formation of free-floating brown dwarves and planetary-mass objects by photo-erosion of prestellar cores (2004, result): “…0.5M and γ 2.5 for M0 > 0.5M for the cores in ρ Ophiuchus, and similar results are reported for the cores in Ophiuchus by Johnstone et al. (2000), for the cores in Serpens by Testi & Sargent (1998), and for the cores in the Orion B molecular cloud by Motte et al. (2001) and Johnstone et al. (2001).”
An Extinction Threshold for Protostellar Cores in Ophiuchus (2004, unknown): “For example, investigation of Orion B North (Johnstone et al. 2001) found all the substructure to be confined to the densest molecular core regions but did not have sufficient cloud coverage to provide explicit environmental constraints.”
The mass function of dense molecular cores and the origin of the IMF (2006, background): “This range is lower than that (3×104−5 cm−3) usually associated with typical star forming cores and even the starless cores typically traced by dust continuum observations (Motte et al. 1998; Johnstone et al. 2001; Kirk et al. 2005).”
Physical Processes in the Interstellar Medium (2014, background): “Spider (top left) and Polaris (top right) are high latitude clouds located in the North Celestial Loop (Meyerdierks et al., 1991).”
The ATLASGAL survey: a catalog of dust condensations in the Galactic plane (2013, background): “Such studies have been first performed on smaller areas of the sky in nearby low-mass star-forming regions until a few years ago (e.g. Motte et al. 1998; Johnstone et al. 2000, 2001; Motte etal.”
Ammonia in infrared dark clouds (2006, background): “Studies of relatively local cluster forming regions like the ρ Ophiuchus cloud, the Serpens molecular cloud and Orion B molecular cloud (Motte et al. 1998; Testi & Sargent 1998; Johnstone et al. 2001) find that the mass spectrum of their cores are very similar to that of the stellar IMF.”
On the Rapid Collapse and Evolution of Molecular Clouds (2007, background): “…mass function show a shift in the turnover mass at some value that is higher than the stellar IMF turnover by a factor of about 3 (Motte et al. 1998; Testi & Sargent 1998; Johnstone et al. 2000, 2001; Motte et al. 2001; Beuther & Schilke 2004; Stanke et al. 2006; Alves, Lombardi & Lada 2007).”
Global Models for the Evolution of Embedded, Accreting Protostellar Disks (2007, background): “Observed regions of star formation contain cores with masses ∼ 1−100 M , surface densities Σc ≈ 0.03 − 1 g cm−2, and temperatures of 10 to 50 K (Johnstone et al. 2001; Plume et al. 1997).”
The SCUBA Legacy Catalogues: Submillimeter-Continuum Objects Detected by SCUBA (2008, methodology): “In addition, the object with the largest 850 m flux seen by SCUBAwas ‘‘SMA 1,’’ associated with the Orion BN/KL region at 599.6 Jy.”
The “Mysterious” Origin of Brown Dwarfs (2002, background): “…of prestellar condensations is indistinguishable from the stellar IMF (Motte et al. 1998, 2001; Testi & Sargent 1998; Onishi et al. 1999; Johnstone et al. 2000b, 2000a, 2001; Onishi et al. 2002), both in the functional shape and in the range of masses, including BD mass cores (Walsh et…”
The James Clerk Maxwell Telescope Legacy Survey of Nearby Star‐forming Regions in the Gould Belt (2007, methodology): “…also been carried out with the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) on JCMT (e.g., Johnstone & Bally 1999; Pierce-Price et al. 2000; Johnstone et al. 2000, 2001, 2006; Hatchell et al. 2005, 2007; Nutter et al. 2005, 2006; Nutter & Ward-Thompson 2007; J. Kirk et al. 2005;…”
Theory of Star Formation (2007, background): “…continuum surveys covering both cluster regions and larger areas in star-forming systems (e.g. Motte, Andre, & Neri 1998; Testi & Sargent 1998; Johnstone et al. 2000, 2001; Motte et al. 2001; Beuther & Schilke 2004; Reid & Wilson 2005, 2006a; Stanke et al. 2006; Enoch et al. 2006; Nutter &…”
The Large- and Small-Scale Structures of Dust in the Star-forming Perseus Molecular Cloud (2006, background): “Previous (sub)millimetre studies of star-forming regions (e.g., Motte et al. 1998; John- stone et al. 2000b, 2001, 2006; Reid & Wilson 2005; Enoch et al. 2006) have shown that clumps have a mass distribution well fit by a broken power law, with the number of clumps with mass above M, N(M) ∝ M−α.”
The physics of star formation (2003, unknown): “Other authors, using different techniques for measuring core masses, have found qualitatively similar results but core masses that are systematically larger by a factor of 2 or 3 (Johnstone et al 2000, 2001).”
