Norman Abstract: We exploit ALMA Cycle 4 observations of the continuum (~2.1mm) and high-J CO emission of a sample of six X-ray selected SMGs hosting an obscured AGN at z_spec>2.5 in the 7 Ms CDF-S. We conclude that the ISM of high redshift galaxies can substantially contribute to nuclear obscuration up to the Compton-thick (> 1024 cm􀀀2) regime. In addition, we found that all the detected sources show a velocity gradient reminding one rotating system, even though two of them show peculiar features in their morphology that can be associated with a chaotic, possiblybmerging, structure.…and dust reservoirs that are thought to sustain and possibly obscure vigorous star formation processes that make these objects shine at far-IR and sub-mm wavelengths.

Rabou Abstract: We imaged the transition disk SR 21 in H-band in scattered light with SPHERE/IRDIS and in thermal dust emission with ALMA band 3 (3mm) observations at a spatial resolution of 0.1". We combine these datasets with existing band 9 (430um) and band 7 (870um). SR 21’s main features in both scattered light and thermal emission are consistent with hydrodynamical predictions of planet-disk interactions. With the location of a possible planet being well-constrained by observations, it is an ideal candidate for follow-up observations to search for direct evidence of a planetary companion still embedded in its disk.A&A Eu

Rujopakarn Abstract: With the spatial resolution of the ALMA, dusty galaxies in the distant Universe typically appear as single, compact blobs of dust emission, with a median half-light radius, ≈ 1 kpc. Occasionally, strong gravitational lensing by foreground galaxies or galaxy clusters has probed spatial scales 1-2 orders of magnitude smaller. Here, we present data from ALMA which reveal that the dust continuum of the z=2.3 Cosmic Eyelash is in fact smooth and can be reproduced using two Sérsic profiles with effective radii, 1.2 and 4.4 kpc, with no evidence of significant star-forming clumps down to a spatial scale of ≈ 80 pc and a star-formation rate of < 3M⊙ yr−1.

Bonfand, K. M. Menten Updated chemical models do a very good job of reproducing the observed abundances ratio of CH3NC:CH3CN towards Sgr B2(N2), while being consistent with upper limits for other isocyanide/cyanide pairs. HCCNC:HC3N is poorly reproduced, however. Our results highlight the need for models with AV-depdendent ζ. However, there is still much to be understood about the chemistry of these species, as evidenced by the systematic overproduction of HCCNC. Further study is also needed to understand the complex effect of varying ζ on the chemistry of these species. The new single-stage chemical model should be a powerful tool in analyzing hot-core sources in the future. Astronomy & Astrophysics NA

We investigate whether the dust scattering indeed reduces the observed continuum intensity by comparing the ALMA archival data of the TW Hya disk at Band 3, 4, 6, 7 and 9 to models obtained by radiative transfer simulations. We find that the model with scattering by 300 μm-sized grains well reproduces the observed SED of the central part of the TW Hya disk while the model without scattering is also consistent within the errors of the absolute fluxes. Our study suggests the TW Hya disk is still capable of forming cores of giant planets at where the current solar system planets exist. ApJ EA
• 26. arXiv:2003.13694 Emergence of an Ultra-Red Ultra-Massive Galaxy Cluster Core at z=4 Authors: Arianna S. Long, Asantha Cooray, Jingzhe Ma, Caitlin M. Casey, Julie L. Wardlow, Hooshang Nayyeri, R. J. Ivison, Duncan Farrah, Helmut Dannerbauer Abstract: Recent simulations and observations of massive galaxy cluster evolution predict that the majority of stellar mass build up happens within cluster members by z=2, before cluster virialization. Protoclusters rich with dusty, star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) at z>3 are the favored candidate progenitors for these massive galaxy clusters at z∼0. We present here the first study analyzing stellar emission along with cold dust and gas continuum emission in a spectroscopically confirmed z=4.002 protocluster core rich with DSFGs, the Distant Red Core (DRC). We combine new \textit{HST} and \textit{Spitzer} data with existing Gemini, \textit{Herschel}, and ALMA observations to derive individual galaxy-level properties, and compare them to coeval field and other protocluster galaxies. All of the protocluster members are massive (>1010 M⊙), but not significantly more so than their coeval field counterparts. Within uncertainty, all are nearly indistinguishable from galaxies on the star-forming vs. stellar mass main-sequence relationship. However, when placed on the star formation efficiency plane, DRC components exhibit starburst-like characteristics with SFRs 10-100× greater than the expected field value at a given molecular gas mass. Assuming no future major influx of fresh gas, we estimate that these gas poor (fgas<25%) yet bursty DSFGs will deplete their gas reservoirs in <30 Myr. Using various methodologies, we derive a total z=4 halo mass of ∼1014 M⊙, and estimate that the DRC will evolve to become an ultra-massive cluster core of mass ≳1015 M⊙ by z=0. ApJ NA

Girart, Howard Smith, Joseph L. Hora, Yuxing Lin, Keping Qiu, Shaye Strom, Junzhi Wang, Fei Li, Nannan Yue Abstract: We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) observations of the massive infrared dark cloud NGC 6334S (also known as IRDC G350.56+0.44), located at the southwestern end of the NGC 6334 molecular cloud complex. The H13CO+ and the NH2D lines covered by the ALMA observations at a ∼3′′ angular resolution (∼0.02 pc) reveal that the spatially unresolved non-thermal motions are predominantly subsonic and transonic, a condition analogous to that found in low-mass star-forming molecular clouds. The observed supersonic non-thermal velocity dispersions in massive star forming regions, often reported in the literature, might be significantly biased by poor spatial resolutions that broaden the observed line widths due to unresolved motions within the telescope beam. Our 3~mm continuum image resolves 49 dense cores, whose masses range from 0.17 to 14 M⊙. The majority of them are resolved with multiple velocity components. Our analyses of these gas velocity components find an anti-correlation between the gas mass and the virial parameter. This implies that the more massive structures tend to be more gravitationally unstable. Finally, we find that the external pressure in the NGC 6334S cloud is important in confining these dense structures, and may play a role in the formation of dense cores, and subsequently, the embedded young stars.

• 29. arXiv:2003.12580 Protoplanetary Disks in the Orion Nebula Cluster: Gas Disk Morphologies and Kinematics as seen with ALMA Authors: Ryan D. Boyden, Josh A. Eisner Abstract: We present Atacama Large Millimeter Array CO(3−2) and HCO+(4−3) observations covering the central 1.′5×1.′5 region of the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC). The unprecedented level of sensitivity (∼0.1 mJy beam−1) and angular resolution (∼0.′′09≈35 AU) of these line observations enable us to search for gas-disk detections towards the known positions of submillimeter-detected dust disks in this region. We detect 23 disks in gas: 17 in CO(3−2), 17 in HCO+(4−3), and 11 in both lines. Depending on where the sources are located in the ONC, we see the line detections in emission, in absorption against the warm background, or in both emission and absorption. We spectrally resolve the gas with 0.5 km s−1 channels, and find that the kinematics of most sources are consistent with Keplerian rotation. We measure the distribution of gas-disk sizes and find typical radii of ∼50-200 AU. As such, gas disks in the ONC are compact in comparison with the gas disks seen in low-density star-forming regions. Gas sizes are universally larger than the dust sizes. However, the gas and dust sizes are not strongly correlated. We find a positive correlation between gas size and distance from the massive star θ1 Ori C, indicating that disks in the ONC are influenced by photoionization. Finally, we use the observed kinematics of the detected gas lines to model Keplerian rotation and infer the masses of the central pre-main-sequence stars. Our dynamically-derived stellar masses are not consistent with the spectroscopically-derived masses, and we discuss possible reasons for this discrepancy. ApJ NA

L. de Andres, J. Cernicharo, J. A. Martin-Gago Abstract: Chemical equilibrium has proven extremely useful to predict the chemical composition of AGB atmospheres. Here we use a recently developed code and an updated thermochemical database, including gaseous and condensed species involving 34 elements, to compute the chemical equilibrium composition of AGB atmospheres of M-, S-, and C-type stars. We include for the first time TixCy clusters, with x = 1-4 and y = 1-4, and selected larger clusters ranging up to Ti13C22, for which thermochemical data is obtained from quantum chemical calculations. We find that in general chemical equilibrium reproduces well the observed abundances of parent molecules in circumstellar envelopes of AGB stars. There are however severe discrepancies, of various orders of magnitude, for some parent molecules: HCN, CS, NH3, and SO2 in M-type stars, H2O and NH3 in S-type stars, and the hydrides H2O, NH3, SiH4, and PH3 in C-type stars. Several molecules not yet observed in AGB atmospheres, like SiC5, SiNH, SiCl, PS, HBO, and the metal-containing molecules MgS, CaS, CaOH, CaCl, CaF, ScO, ZrO, VO, FeS, CoH, and NiS, are good candidates for detection with observatories like ALMA. The first condensates predicted are carbon, TiC, and SiC in C-rich atmospheres and Al2O3 in O-rich outflows. The most probable gas-phase precursors of dust are acetylene, atomic carbon, and/or C3 for carbon dust, SiC2 and Si2C for SiC dust, and atomic Al and AlOH, AlO, and Al2O for Al2O3 dust. In the case of TiC dust, atomic Ti is probably the main supplier of titanium. However, chemical equilibrium predicts that clusters like Ti8C12 and Ti13C22 become the major reservoirs of titanium at the expense of atomic Ti in the region where condensation of TiC is expected to occur, suggesting that the assembly of large TixCy clusters could be related to the formation of the first condensation nuclei of TiC.

• H. arXiv:2003.13280 Circum-nuclear molecular disks: role in AGN fueling and feedback Authors: F. Combes Abstract: Gas inflows fueling AGN are now traceable at high-resolution with ALMA and NOEMA. Dynamical mechanisms are essential to exchange angular momentum and drive the gas to the super-massive black hole. While at 100pc scale, the gas is sometimes stalled in nuclear rings, recent observations reaching 10pc scale (50mas), inside the sphere of influence of the black h… ▽ More Proceedings of IAUS 359, Storchi-Bergmann et al. ed Eu
