From ASHES to ASSEMBLE: A Dynamic View of Massive Protocluster Formation and Evolution
Date:
Presented in the Radio Astronomy session of the 2023 Chinese Astronomical Society Annual Meeting, this talk connected the early-stage protoclusters surveyed by ASHES with the more evolved systems studied by ASSEMBLE.
The comparison offers a dynamic view of massive-protocluster evolution, highlighting how dense cores grow, protoclusters contract, and mass segregation emerges as gas continues to assemble into stars and stellar clusters.
