A Large Scale Survey of NGC1333 (2006)

Walsh, Andrew J., Myers, Philip C., Di Francesco, James, Mohanty, Subhanjoy, Bourke, Tyler L., Gutermuth, Robert, ...

We observed the clustered star forming complex NGC1333 with the BIMA and FCRAO telescopes in the transitions HCO+(1-0) and N2H+(1-0) over an 11'x11' area with resolution ~10" (0.015pc). The N2H+...

Lee, Jeong-Eun, Di Francesco, James, Lai, Shih-Ping, Bourke, Tyler L., Spiesman, Bill, ...

We present a comprehensive study of a low-mass star-forming region, L1251B, at wavelengths from the near-infrared to the millimeter. L1251B, in which only one protostar, IRAS 22376+7455, was known...

The complete survey of star-forming regions: Phase I data (2006)

Ridge, Naomi A., Di Francesco, James, Kirk, Helen, Li, Di, Goodman, Alyssa A., Alves, João F., ...

We present an overview of data available for the Ophiuchus and Perseus molecular clouds from Phase I of the COMPLETE Survey of Star-Forming Regions. This survey provides a range of data complementary...
