Abstract:We present multi-wavelength data to investigate the physical properties and fragmentation of AFGL 333-Ridge. A statistical analysis of velocity dispersion indicates that turbulence is the dominant motion in the ridge. However, the linear mass density (1124.0 M ⊙ /pc) of AFGL 333-Ridge far exceeds its critical value of 406.5 M ⊙ /pc, suggesting that additional motions are required to prevent the filament radial collapse. Using the getsources algorithm, we identified 14 cores from the Herschel maps, including tw… Show more
