Clump Surface Density Drives Core Fragmentation in Massive Star Formation

ALMAGAL survey of 1007 massive clumps reveals fragmentation into 6348 cores correlates strongly with clump surface density, not total mass, supporting density-driven fragmentation on ~0.1 pc scales. The mass of the most massive core and core formation efficiency increase by an order of magnitude across evolutionary tracers like dust temperature and L/M ratio, indicating ongoing core growth during clump evolution. This favors clump-fed star formation models over core-fed scenarios, validated against numerical simulations.

Optimal Biomethane Recovery from Expired Functional Drinks Targets Post-Sorbitol Degradation Phase

Expired functional drinks contain high concentrations of sugars (glucose, fructose), organic acids, and amino acids (alanine), enabling profitable biomethane production via anaerobic digestion with yields up to 11.72 mL CH4/mL for high-COD formulations low in sorbitol and amino acids. Post-expiration storage at 4°C reveals four phases of composition change: stable, sorbitol degradation, sugar degradation, and acidification. Time-course experiments identify the post-sorbitol degradation window—especially for ascorbic acid-free drinks—as the economically optimal period for recovery due to natural deterioration enhancing biogas potential.

Dense Core Spatial Evolution in Cluster-Forming Clumps Reveals Jeans-Scale Fragmentation and Emerging Mass Segregation

ALMAGAL survey of 514 massive clumps shows dense cores typically form elliptical groups with axis ratio ~2.2 and single characteristic separations matching the thermal Jeans length, though young clumps exhibit wider ~3x Jeans spacing. Core separations decrease from ~22,000 au in early stages to ~7,000 au in evolved systems, with fractal distributions persisting and central concentration only at later stages. Mass segregation appears in 110 clumps, increasing with evolutionary proxies like bolometric luminosity-to-mass ratio.

Methanol Maser Ring Expands at 0.01c, Tracing Explosive Heat Wave from Massive Protostar Outburst

ALMA imaging reveals a circular millimeter methanol maser ring around the outbursting massive protostar G358.93-0.03 MM1, with diameter expanding from ~1100 to ~1800 au over 200 days at ~0.01c. The ring's angular extent follows a power law R ∝ t^{0.39±0.06}, matching the t^{2/5} prediction of the Taylor-von Neumann-Sedov solution for a spherical explosion. This confirms accretion outbursts drive subluminal heat waves traceable by masers through surrounding molecular material.

Triggered Star Formation Confirmed by Core Arch and Scales in AG286.0716-1.8229

ALMA observations of ALMAGAL source AG286.0716-1.8229 detect 9 cores, with 8 aligned along a ~0.75 pc radius arch outside an H II region confirmed by SMGPS/RACS radio data showing optically thin free-free emission (spectral index -0.14 to -0.4). Four cores are prestellar candidates based on high-resolution non-detection, and all arch cores have virial parameters ≲2 (range 0.3-5 overall), with masses 2-16 M⊙. Core separations and masses match collect-and-collapse triggered star formation predictions better than thermal Jeans scales.
