    Understanding the initial conditions of star formation requires both
    observational studies and theoretical works taking into account the magnetic
    field, which plays an important role in star formation processes. Herein, we
    study the young nearby dense cloud core L1521 F ($n$(H$_2$) $\sim 10^{4-6}$
    cm$^{-3}$) in the Taurus Molecular Cloud. This dense core hosts a 0.2 $M_\odot$
    protostar, categorized as a Very Low Luminosity Objects with complex velocity
    structures, particularly in the vicinity of the protostar. To trace the
    magnetic field within the dense core, we conducted high sensitivity
    submillimeter polarimetry of the dust continuum at $\lambda$= 850 $\mu$m and
    450 $\mu$m using the POL-2 polarimeter situated in front of the SCUBA-2
    submillimeter bolometer camera on James Clerk Maxwell Tetescope. This was
    compared with millimeter polarimetry taken at $\lambda$= 3.3 mm with ALMA. The
    magnetic field was detected at $\lambda$= 850 $\mu$m in the peripheral region,
    which is threaded in a north-south direction, while the central region traced
    at $\lambda$= 450 $\mu$m shows a magnetic field with an east-west direction,
    i.e., orthogonal to that of the peripheral region. Magnetic field strengths are
    estimated to be $\sim$70 $\mu$G and 200 $\mu$G in the peripheral- and
    central-regions, respectively, using the Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi method. The
    resulting mass-to-flux ratio of 3 times larger than that of magnetically
    critical state for both regions indicates that L1521 F is magnetically
    supercritical, i.e., gravitational forces dominate over magnetic turbulence
    forces. Combining observational data with MHD simulations, detailed parameters
    of the morphological properties of this puzzling object are derived for the
    first time.

    We used the Submillimeter Array to image the SiO maser emission in the $v=1$,
    \$J=5-4$ transition associated with the peculiar red supergiant VY Canis
    Majoris. We identified seven maser components and measured their relative
    positions and linear polarization properties. Five of the maser components are
    coincident to within about 150 mas ($\sim$ 200 AU at the distance of 1.5 kpc);
    most of them may originate in the circumstellar envelope at a radius of about
    50 mas from the star along with the SiO masers in the lowest rotational
    transitions. Our measurements show that two of the maser components may be
    offset from the inner stellar envelope (at the 3$\sigma$ level of significance)
    and may be part of a larger bipolar outflow associated with VY CMa identified
    by Shinnaga et al. The strongest maser feature at a velocity of 35.9 kms$^{-1}$
    has a 60 percent linear polarization, and its polarization direction is aligned
    with the bipolar axis. Such a high degree of polarization suggests that maser
    inversion is due to radiative pumping. Five of the other maser features have
    significant linear polarization.

    We have designed and constructed a tunable polarimeter to cover frequencies from 35 GHz to 250 GHz (8.6 mm and 1.2 mm in wavelength) for the 45-m telescope at Nobeyama Radio Observatory. Both circular and linear polarizations can be measured by the polarimeter. The insertion loss was measured to be 0.14 ± 0.05 dB in the 100-GHz band. The overall instrumental polarization of the system in the 100 GHz band is as low as ≤ 3%. The performance of the polarimeter in astronomical observations was tested by simultaneously measuring the linear polarization of the J = 2-1 transition of SiO in the v = 0 and 1 states at 86 GHz toward VY Canis Majoris. The observation revealed that the J = 2-1 emission in the v = 0 state of the object is highly linear polarized, which suggests that the emission originates through maser action in the circumstellar region. The details of the design, construction, and tests are presented.

    Abstract

    We present BISTRO Survey 850 μm dust emission polarization observations of the L1495A-B10 region of the Taurus molecular cloud, taken at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). We observe a roughly triangular network of dense filaments. We detect nine of the dense starless cores embedded within these filaments in polarization, finding that the plane-of-sky orientation of the core-scale magnetic field lies roughly perpendicular to the filaments in almost all cases. We also find that the large-scale magnetic field orientation measured by Planck is not correlated with any of the core or filament structures, except in the case of the lowest-density core. We propose a scenario for early prestellar evolution that is both an extension to, and consistent with, previous models, introducing an additional evolutionary transitional stage between field-dominated and matter-dominated evolution, observed here for the first time. In this scenario, the cloud collapses first to a sheet-like structure. Uniquely, we appear to be seeing this sheet almost face on. The sheet fragments into filaments, which in turn form cores. However, the material must reach a certain critical density before the evolution changes from being field dominated to being matter dominated. We measure the sheet surface density and the magnetic field strength at that transition for the first time and show consistency with an analytical prediction that had previously gone untested for over 50 yr.

    Abstract

    We study the Hii regions associated with the NGC 6334 molecular cloud observed in the submillimeter and taken as part of the B-fields In STar-forming Region Observations Survey. In particular, we investigate the polarization patterns and magnetic field morphologies associated with these Hii regions. Through polarization pattern and pressure calculation analyses, several of these bubbles indicate that the gas and magnetic field lines have been pushed away from the bubble, toward an almost tangential (to the bubble) magnetic field morphology. In the densest part of NGC 6334, where the magnetic field morphology is similar to an hourglass, the polarization observations do not exhibit observable impact from Hii regions. We detect two nested radial polarization patterns in a bubble to the south of NGC 6334 that correspond to the previously observed bipolar structure in this bubble. Finally, using the results of this study, we present steps (incorporating computer vision; circular Hough transform) that can be used in future studies to identify bubbles that have physically impacted magnetic field lines.

    We present 850 $\mu$m dust polarization observations of the massive DR21
    filament from the B-fields In STar-forming Region Observations (BISTRO) survey,
    using the POL-2 polarimeter and the SCUBA-2 camera on the James Clerk Maxwell
    Telescope. We detect ordered magnetic fields perpendicular to the parsec-scale
    ridge of the DR21 main filament. In the sub-filaments, the magnetic fields are
    mainly parallel to the filamentary structures and smoothly connect to the
    magnetic fields of the main filament. We compare the POL-2 and Planck dust
    polarization observations to study the magnetic field structures of the DR21
    filament on 0.1--10 pc scales. The magnetic fields revealed in the Planck data
    are well aligned with those of the POL-2 data, indicating a smooth variation of
    magnetic fields from large to small scales. The plane-of-sky magnetic field
    strengths derived from angular dispersion functions of dust polarization are
    0.6--1.0 mG in the DR21 filament and $\sim$ 0.1 mG in the surrounding ambient
    gas. The mass-to-flux ratios are found to be magnetically supercritical in the
    filament and slightly subcritical to nearly critical in the ambient gas. The
    alignment between column density structures and magnetic fields changes from
    random alignment in the low-density ambient gas probed by Planck to mostly
    perpendicular in the high-density main filament probed by JCMT. The magnetic
    field structures of the DR21 filament are in agreement with MHD simulations of
    a strongly magnetized medium, suggesting that magnetic fields play an important
    role in shaping the DR21 main filament and sub-filaments.

    We present and analyze observations of polarized dust emission at 850 $\mu$m
    towards the central 1 pc $\times$ 1 pc hub-filament structure of Monoceros R2
    (Mon R2). The data are obtained with SCUBA-2/POL-2 on the James Clerk Maxwell
    Telescope (JCMT) as part of the BISTRO (B-fields in Star-forming Region
    Observations) survey. The orientations of the magnetic field follow the spiral
    structure of Mon R2, which are well-described by an axisymmetric magnetic field
    model. We estimate the turbulent component of the magnetic field using the
    angle difference between our observations and the best-fit model of the
    underlying large-scale mean magnetic field. This estimate is used to calculate
    the magnetic field strength using the Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi method, for
    which we also obtain the distribution of volume density and velocity dispersion
    using a column density map derived from $Herschel$ data and the C$^{18}$O ($J$
    = 3-2) data taken with HARP on the JCMT, respectively. We make maps of magnetic
    field strengths and mass-to-flux ratios, finding that magnetic field strengths
    vary from 0.02 to 3.64 mG with a mean value of 1.0 $\pm$ 0.06 mG, and the mean
    critical mass-to-flux ratio is 0.47 $\pm$ 0.02. Additionally, the mean Alfv\'en
    Mach number is 0.35 $\pm$ 0.01. This suggests that in Mon R2, magnetic fields
    provide resistance against large-scale gravitational collapse, and magnetic
    pressure exceeds turbulent pressure. We also investigate the properties of each
    filament in Mon R2. Most of the filaments are aligned along the magnetic field
    direction and are magnetically sub-critical.

    The Nearby Evolved Stars Survey (NESS) is a volume-complete sample of ∼850 Galactic evolved stars within 3 kpc at (sub-)mm wavelengths, observed in the CO J = (2-1) and (3-2) rotational lines, and the sub-mm continuum, using the James Clark Maxwell Telescope and Atacama Pathfinder Experiment. NESS consists of five tiers, based on distances and dust-production rate (DPR). We define a new metric for estimating the distances to evolved stars and compare its results to Gaia EDR3. Replicating other studies, the most-evolved, highly enshrouded objects in the Galactic Plane dominate the dust returned by our sources, and we initially estimate a total DPR of 4.7 × 10-5 M⊙ yr-1 from our sample. Our sub-mm fluxes are systematically higher and spectral indices are typically shallower than dust models typically predict. The 450/850 μm spectral indices are consistent with the blackbody Rayleigh-Jeans regime, suggesting a large fraction of evolved stars have unexpectedly large envelopes of cold dust.

    Polarized dust emission is a key tracer in the study of interstellar medium and of star formation. The observed polarization, however, is a product of magnetic field structure, dust grain properties, and grain alignment efficiency, as well as their variations in the line of sight, making it difficult to interpret polarization unambiguously. The comparison of polarimetry at multiple wavelengths is a possible way of mitigating this problem. We use data from HAWC+ /SOFIA and from SCUBA-2/POL-2 (from the BISTRO survey) to analyse the NGC 2071 molecular cloud at 154, 214, and 850 $\mu$m. The polarization angle changes significantly with wavelength over part of NGC 2071, suggesting a change in magnetic field morphology on the line of sight as each wavelength best traces different dust populations. Other possible explanations are the existence of more than one polarization mechanism in the cloud or scattering from very large grains. The observed change of polarization fraction with wavelength, and the 214-To-154 $\mu$m polarization ratio in particular, are difficult to reproduce with current dust models under the assumption of uniform alignment efficiency. We also show that the standard procedure of using monochromatic intensity as a proxy for column density may produce spurious results at HAWC+wavelengths. Using both long-wavelength (POL-2, 850 $\mu$m) and short-wavelength (HAWC+, $\lesssim 200\, \mu$m) polarimetry is key in obtaining these results. This study clearly shows the importance of multi-wavelength polarimetry at submillimetre bands to understand the dust properties of molecular clouds and the relationship between magnetic field and star formation.

    We present 850 $\mu$m polarimetric observations toward the Serpens Main
    molecular cloud obtained using the POL-2 polarimeter on the James Clerk Maxwell
    Telescope (JCMT) as part of the B-fields In STar-forming Region Observations
    (BISTRO) survey. These observations probe the magnetic field morphology of the
    Serpens Main molecular cloud on about 6000 au scales, which consists of cores
    and six filaments with different physical properties such as density and star
    formation activity. Using the histogram of relative orientation (HRO)
    technique, we find that magnetic fields are parallel to filaments in less dense
    filamentary structures where $N_{H_2} < 0.93\times 10^{22}$ cm$^{-2}$ (magnetic
    fields perpendicular to density gradients), while being perpendicular to
    filaments (magnetic fields parallel to density gradients) in dense filamentary
    structures with star formation activity. Moreover, applying the HRO technique
    to denser core regions, we find that magnetic field orientations change to
    become perpendicular to density gradients again at $N_{H_2} \approx 4.6 \times
    10^{22}$ cm$^{-2}$. This can be interpreted as a signature of core formation.
    At $N_{H_2} \approx 16 \times 10^{22}$ cm$^{-2}$ magnetic fields change back to
    being parallel to density gradients once again, which can be understood to be
    due to magnetic fields being dragged in by infalling material. In addition, we
    estimate the magnetic field strengths of the filaments ($B_{POS} =
    60-300~\mu$G)) using the Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi method and discuss whether
    the filaments are gravitationally unstable based on magnetic field and
    turbulence energy densities.

    We present the results of simultaneous 450 $\mu$m and 850 $\mu$m polarization
    observations toward the massive star forming region NGC 2071IR, a target of the
    BISTRO (B-fields in Star-Forming Region Observations) Survey, using the POL-2
    polarimeter and SCUBA-2 camera mounted on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. We
    find a pinched magnetic field morphology in the central dense core region,
    which could be due to a rotating toroidal disk-like structure and a bipolar
    outflow originating from the central young stellar object, IRS 3. Using the
    modified Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi method, we obtain a plane-of-sky magnetic
    field strength of 563$\pm$421 $\mu$G in the central $\sim$0.12 pc region from
    850 $\mu$m polarization data. The corresponding magnetic energy density of
    2.04$\times$10$^{-8}$ erg cm$^{-3}$ is comparable to the turbulent and
    gravitational energy densities in the region. We find that the magnetic field
    direction is very well aligned with the whole of the IRS 3 bipolar outflow
    structure. We find that the median value of polarization fractions, 3.0 \%, at
    450 $\mu$m in the central 3 arcminute region, which is larger than the median
    value of 1.2 \% at 850 $\mu$m. The trend could be due to the better alignment
    of warmer dust in the strong radiation environment. We also find that
    polarization fractions decrease with intensity at both wavelengths, with
    slopes, determined by fitting a Rician noise model, of $0.59 \pm 0.03$ at 450
    $\mu$m and $0.36 \pm 0.04$ at 850 $\mu$m, respectively. We think that the
    shallow slope at 850 $\mu$m is due to grain alignment at the center being
    assisted by strong radiation from the central young stellar objects.

    We have obtained sensitive dust continuum polarization observations at 850
    $\mu$m in the B213 region of Taurus using POL-2 on SCUBA-2 at the James Clerk
    Maxwell Telescope (JCMT), as part of the BISTRO (B-fields in STar-forming
    Region Observations) survey. These observations allow us to probe magnetic
    field (B-field) at high spatial resolution ($\sim$2000 au or $\sim$0.01 pc at
    140 pc) in two protostellar cores (K04166 and K04169) and one prestellar core
    (Miz-8b) that lie within the B213 filament. Using the Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi
    method, we estimate the B-field strengths in K04166, K04169, and Miz-8b to be
    38$\pm$14 $\mu$G, 44$\pm$16 $\mu$G, and 12$\pm$5 $\mu$G, respectively. These
    cores show distinct mean B-field orientations. B-field in K04166 is well
    ordered and aligned parallel to the orientations of the core minor axis,
    outflows, core rotation axis, and large-scale uniform B-field, in accordance
    with magnetically regulated star formation via ambipolar diffusion taking place
    in K04166. B-field in K04169 is found to be ordered but oriented nearly
    perpendicular to the core minor axis and large-scale B-field, and not
    well-correlated with other axes. In contrast, Miz-8b exhibits disordered
    B-field which show no preferred alignment with the core minor axis or
    large-scale field. We found that only one core, K04166, retains a memory of the
    large-scale uniform B-field. The other two cores, K04169 and Miz-8b, are
    decoupled from the large-scale field. Such a complex B-field configuration
    could be caused by gas inflow onto the filament, even in the presence of a
    substantial magnetic flux.

    <italic>Context.</italic> Molecular filaments and hubs have received special attention recently thanks to new studies showing their key role in star formation. While the (column) density and velocity structures of both filaments and hubs have been carefully studied, their magnetic field (B-field) properties have yet to be characterized. Consequently, the role of B-fields in the formation and evolution of hub-filament systems is not well constrained.


    <italic>Aims.</italic> We aim to understand the role of the B-field and its interplay with turbulence and gravity in the dynamical evolution of the NGC 6334 filament network that harbours cluster-forming hubs and high-mass star formation.


    <italic>Methods.</italic> We present new observations of the dust polarized emission at 850 <italic>μ</italic>m toward the 2 pc × 10 pc map of NGC 6334 at a spatial resolution of 0.09 pc obtained with the <italic>James Clerk Maxwell</italic> Telescope (JCMT) as part of the B-field In STar-forming Region Observations (BISTRO) survey. We study the distribution and dispersion of the polarized intensity (<italic>PI</italic>), the polarization fraction (<italic>PF</italic>), and the plane-of-the-sky B-field angle (<italic>χ</italic><sub>B_POS</sub>) toward the whole region, along the 10 pc-long ridge and along the sub-filaments connected to the ridge and the hubs. We derived the power spectra of the intensity and <italic>χ</italic><sub>B<sub>POS</sub></sub> along the ridge crest and compared them with the results obtained from simulated filaments.


    <italic>Results.</italic> The observations span ~3 orders of magnitude in Stokes <italic>I</italic> and <italic>PI</italic> and ~2 orders of magnitude in <italic>PF</italic> (from ~0.2 to ~ 20%). A large scatter in <italic>PI</italic> and <italic>PF</italic> is observed for a given value of <italic>I</italic>. Our analyses show a complex B-field structure when observed over the whole region (~ 10 pc); however, at smaller scales (~1 pc), <italic>χ</italic><sub>B<sub>POS</sub></sub> varies coherently along the crests of the filament network. The observed power spectrum of <italic>χ</italic><sub>B<sub>POS</sub></sub> can be well represented with a power law function with a slope of − 1.33 ± 0.23, which is ~20% shallower than that of <italic>I</italic>. We find that this result is compatible with the properties of simulated filaments and may indicate the physical processes at play in the formation and evolution of star-forming filaments. Along the sub-filaments, <italic>χ</italic><sub>B<sub>POS</sub></sub> rotates frombeing mostly perpendicular or randomly oriented with respect to the crests to mostly parallel as the sub-filaments merge with the ridge and hubs. This variation of the B-field structure along the sub-filaments may be tracing local velocity flows of infalling matter in the ridge and hubs. Our analysis also suggests a variation in the energy balance along the crests of these sub-filaments, from magnetically critical or supercritical at their far ends to magnetically subcritical near the ridge and hubs. We also detect an increase in <italic>PF</italic> toward the high-column density (<italic>N</italic><sub>H<sub>2</sub></sub> ≳ 10<sup>23</sup> cm<sup>−2</sup>) star cluster-forming hubs. These latter large <italic>PF</italic> values may be explained by the increase in grain alignment efficiency due to stellar radiation from the newborn stars, combined with an ordered B-field structure.


    <italic>Conclusions.</italic> These observational results reveal for the first time the characteristics of the small-scale (down to ~ 0.1 pc) B-field structure of a 10 pc-long hub-filament system. Our analyses show variations in the polarization properties along the sub-filaments that may be tracing the evolution of their physical properties during their interaction with the ridge and hubs. We also detect an impact of feedback from young high-mass stars on the local B-field structure and the polarization properties, which could put constraints on possible models for dust grain alignment and provide important hints as to the interplay between the star formation activity and interstellar B-fields.

    While magnetic fields likely play an important role in driving the evolution
    of protoplanetary disks through angular momentum transport, observational
    evidence of magnetic fields has only been found in a small number of disks.
    Although dust continuum linear polarization has been detected in an increasing
    number of disks, its pattern is more consistent with that from dust scattering
    than from magnetically aligned grains in the vast majority of cases. Continuum
    linear polarization from dust grains aligned to a magnetic field can reveal
    information about the magnetic field's direction, but not its strength. On the
    other hand, observations of circular polarization in molecular lines produced
    by Zeeman splitting offer a direct measure of the line-of-sight magnetic field
    strength in disks. We present upper limits on the net toroidal and vertical
    magnetic field strengths in the protoplanetary disk AS 209 derived from Zeeman
    splitting observations of the CN 2-1 line. The 3$\sigma$ upper limit on the net
    line-of-sight magnetic field strength in AS 209 is 5.0 mG on the redshifted
    side of the disk and 4.2 mG on the blueshifted side of the disk. Given the
    disk's inclination angle, we set a 3$\sigma$ upper limit on the net toroidal
    magnetic field strength of 8.7 and 7.3 mG for the red and blue sides of the
    disk, respectively, and 6.2 and 5.2 mG on the net vertical magnetic field on
    the red and blue sides of the disk. If magnetic disk winds are a significant
    mechanism of angular momentum transport in the disk, magnetic fields of a
    strength close to the upper limits would be sufficient to drive accretion at
    the rate previously inferred for regions near the protostar.

    We present the results of on-the-fly mapping observations of 44 fields
    containing 107 SCUBA-2 cores in the emission lines of molecules, N$_2$H$^+$,
    HC$_3$N, and CCS at 82$-$94 GHz using the Nobeyama 45-m telescope. This study
    aimed at investigating the physical properties of cores that show high
    deuterium fractions and might be close to the onset of star formation. We found
    that the distributions of the N$_2$H$^+$ and HC$_3$N line emissions are
    approximately similar to that of 850-$\mu$m dust continuum emission, whereas
    the CCS line emission is often undetected or is distributed in a clumpy
    structure surrounding the peak position of the 850-$\mu$m dust continuum
    emission. Occasionally (12%), we observe the CCS emission which is an
    early-type gas tracer toward the young stellar object, probably due to local
    high excitation. Evolution toward star formation does not immediately affect
    nonthermal velocity dispersion.

    We report the first high spatial resolution measurement of magnetic fields
    surrounding LkH$\alpha$ 101, a part of the Auriga-California molecular cloud.
    The observations were taken with the POL-2 polarimeter on the James Clerk
    Maxwell Telescope within the framework of the B-fields In Star-forming Region
    Observations (BISTRO) survey. Observed polarization of thermal dust emission at
    850 $\mu$m is found to be mostly associated with the red-shifted gas component
    of the cloud. The magnetic field displays a relatively complex morphology. Two
    variants of the Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi method, unsharp masking and structure
    function, are used to calculate the strength of magnetic fields in the plane of
    the sky, yielding a similar result of $B_{\rm POS}\sim 115$ $\mathrm{\mu}$G.
    The mass-to-magnetic-flux ratio in critical value units, $\lambda\sim0.3$, is
    the smallest among the values obtained for other regions surveyed by POL-2.
    This implies that the LkH$\alpha$ 101 region is sub-critical and the magnetic
    field is strong enough to prevent gravitational collapse. The inferred $\delta
    B/B_0\sim 0.3$ implies that the large scale component of the magnetic field
    dominates the turbulent one. The variation of the polarization fraction with
    total emission intensity can be fitted by a power-law with an index of
    $\alpha=0.82\pm0.03$, which lies in the range previously reported for molecular
    clouds. We find that the polarization fraction decreases rapidly with proximity
    to the only early B star (LkH$\alpha$ 101) in the region. The magnetic field
    tangling and the joint effect of grain alignment and rotational disruption by
    radiative torques are potential of explaining such a decreasing trend.

    We compare the directions of molecular outflows of 62 low-mass Class 0 and I
    protostars in nearby (<450 pc) star-forming regions with the mean orientations
    of the magnetic fields on 0.05-0.5 pc scales in the dense cores/clumps where
    they are embedded. The magnetic field orientations were measured using the JCMT
    POL-2 data taken by the BISTRO-1 survey and from the archive. The outflow
    directions were observed with interferometers in the literature. The observed
    distribution of the angles between the outflows and the magnetic fields peaks
    between 15 and 35 degrees. After considering projection effects, our results
    could suggest that the outflows tend to be misaligned with the magnetic fields
    by 50+/-15 degrees in three-dimensional space and are less likely (but not
    ruled out) randomly oriented with respect to the magnetic fields. There is no
    correlation between the misalignment and the bolometric temperatures in our
    sample. In several sources, the small-scale (1000-3000 au) magnetic fields is
    more misaligned with the outflows than their large-scale magnetic fields,
    suggesting that the small-scale magnetic field has been twisted by the
    dynamics. In comparison with turbulent MHD simulations of core formation, our
    observational results are more consistent with models in which the energy
    densities in the magnetic field and the turbulence of the gas are comparable.
    Our results also suggest that the misalignment alone cannot sufficiently reduce
    the efficiency of magnetic braking to enable formation of the observed number
    of large Keplerian disks with sizes larger than 30-50 au.

    Theoretical and numerical works indicate that a strong magnetic field should
    suppress fragmentation in dense cores. However, this has never been tested
    observationally in a relatively large sample of fragmenting massive dense
    cores. Here we use the polarization data obtained in the Submillimeter Array
    Legacy Survey of Zhang et al. (2014) to build a sample of 17 massive dense
    cores where both fragmentation and magnetic field properties are studied in a
    uniform way. We measured the fragmentation level, Nmm, within the field of view
    common to all regions, of ~0.15 pc, with a mass sensitivity of ~0.5 Msun, and a
    spatial resolution of ~1000 AU. In order to obtain the magnetic field strength
    using the Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi method, we estimated the dispersion of the
    polarization position angles, the velocity dispersion of the H13CO+(4-3) gas,
    and the density of each core, all averaged within 0.15 pc. The magnetic field
    strength was also inferred using the Angular Dispersion Function method.
    Surprisingly, we found no apparent relation between the fragmentation level and
    the magnetic field strength, while a possible trend of Nmm with the average
    density of the parental core was found. In addition, the average masses of the
    fragments are comparable to the thermal Jeans mass. Therefore, our results
    suggest that thermal fragmentation and gravity dominate the fragmentation
    process in this sample. However, when only cores with similar densities are
    considered, there are hints of a possible anticorrelation between the
    fragmentation level and the magnetic field strength.

    We present the results of a single-pointing survey of 207 dense cores
    embedded in Planck Galactic Cold Clumps distributed in five different
    environments ($\lambda$ Orionis, Orion A, B, Galactic plane, and high
    latitudes) to identify dense cores on the verge of star formation for the study
    of the initial conditions of star formation. We observed these cores in eight
    molecular lines at 76-94 GHz using the Nobeyama 45-m telescope. We find that
    early-type molecules (e.g., CCS) have low detection rates and that late-type
    molecules (e.g., N$_2$H$^+$, c-C$_3$H$_2$) and deuterated molecules (e.g.,
    N$_2$D$^+$, DNC) have high detection rates, suggesting that most of the cores
    are chemically evolved. The deuterium fraction (D/H) is found to decrease with
    increasing distance, indicating that it suffers from differential beam dilution
    between the D/H pair of lines for distant cores ($>$1 kpc). For $\lambda$
    Orionis, Orion A, and B located at similar distances, D/H is not significantly
    different, suggesting that there is no systematic difference in the observed
    chemical properties among these three regions. We identify at least eight high
    D/H cores in the Orion region and two at high latitudes, which are most likely
    to be close to the onset of star formation. There is no clear evidence of the
    evolutionary change in turbulence during the starless phase, suggesting that
    the dissipation of turbulence is not a major mechanism for the beginning of
    star formation as judged from observations with a beam size of 0.04 pc.

    We present new observations of the active star-formation region NGC 1333 in
    the Perseus molecular cloud complex from the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope
    B-Fields In Star-forming Region Observations (BISTRO) survey with the POL-2
    instrument. The BISTRO data cover the entire NGC 1333 complex (~1.5 pc x 2 pc)
    at 0.02 pc resolution and spatially resolve the polarized emission from
    individual filamentary structures for the first time. The inferred magnetic
    field structure is complex as a whole, with each individual filament aligned at
    different position angles relative to the local field orientation. We combine
    the BISTRO data with low- and high- resolution data derived from Planck and
    interferometers to study the multiscale magnetic field structure in this
    region. The magnetic field morphology drastically changes below a scale of ~1
    pc and remains continuous from the scales of filaments (~0.1 pc) to that of
    protostellar envelopes (~0.005 pc or ~1000 au). Finally, we construct simple
    models in which we assume that the magnetic field is always perpendicular to
    the long axis of the filaments. We demonstrate that the observed variation of
    the relative orientation between the filament axes and the magnetic field
    angles are well reproduced by this model, taking into account the projection
    effects of the magnetic field and filaments relative to the plane of the sky.
    These projection effects may explain the apparent complexity of the magnetic
    field structure observed at the resolution of BISTRO data toward the filament
    network.

    This white paper discusses recent progress in the field of evolved stars,
    primarily highlighting the contributions of the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope.
    It discusses the ongoing project, the \emph{Nearby Evolved Stars Survey}
    (NESS), and the potential to build upon NESS in the next decade. It then
    outlines a number of science cases which may become feasible with the proposed
    850\,$\mu$m camera which is due to become available at the JCMT in late 2022.
    These include mapping the extended envelopes of evolved stars, including in
    polarisation, and time-domain monitoring of their variations. The improved
    sensitivity of the proposed instrument will facilitate statistical studies that
    put the morphology, polarisation properties and sub-mm variability in
    perspective with a relatively modest commitment of time that would be
    impossible with current instrumentation. We also consider the role that could
    be played by other continuum wavelengths, heterodyne instruments or other
    facilities in contributing towards these objectives.

    We present the highest resolution single-dish submillimetre observations of
    the detached shell source U Antliae to date. The observations were obtained at
    $450~\micron$ and $850~\micron$ with SCUBA-2 instrument on the James Clerk
    Maxwell Telescope as part of the Nearby Evolved Stars Survey. The emission at
    $850~\micron$ peaks at $40\arcsec$ with hints of a second peak seen at $\sim
    20\arcsec$. The emission can be traced out to a radius of $56\arcsec$ at a
    $3\sigma$ level. The outer peak observed at $850~\micron$ aligns well with the
    peak observed at Herschel/PACS wavelengths. With the help of spectral energy
    distribution fitting and radiative transfer calculations of multiple-shell
    models for the circumstellar envelope, we explore the various shell structures
    and the variation of grain sizes along the in the circumstellar envelope. We
    determine a total shell dust mass of $(2.0 \pm 0.3) \times 10^{-5}$ M$_{\odot}$
    and established that the thermal pulse which gave rise to the detached shell
    occurred 3500 $\pm$ 500 years ago.

    We present the POL-2 850 $\mu$m linear polarization map of the Barnard 1
    clump in the Perseus molecular cloud complex from the B-fields In STar-forming
    Region Observations (BISTRO) survey at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. We
    find a trend of decreasing polarization fraction as a function of total
    intensity, which we link to depolarization effects towards higher density
    regions of the cloud. We then use the polarization data at 850 $\mu$m to infer
    the plane-of-sky orientation of the large-scale magnetic field in Barnard 1.
    This magnetic field runs North-South across most of the cloud, with the
    exception of B1-c where it turns more East-West. From the dispersion of
    polarization angles, we calculate a turbulence correlation length of $5.0 \pm
    2.5$ arcsec ($1500$ au), and a turbulent-to-total magnetic energy ratio of $0.5
    \pm 0.3$ inside the cloud. We combine this turbulent-to-total magnetic energy
    ratio with observations of NH$_3$ molecular lines from the Green Bank Ammonia
    Survey (GAS) to estimate the strength of the plane-of-sky component of the
    magnetic field through the Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi method. With a
    plane-of-sky amplitude of $120 \pm 60$ $\mu$G and a criticality criterion
    $\lambda_c = 3.0 \pm 1.5$, we find that Barnard 1 is a supercritical molecular
    cloud with a magnetic field nearly dominated by its turbulent component.

    We report 850~$\mu$m dust polarization observations of a low-mass ($\sim$12
    $M_{\odot}$) starless core in the $\rho$ Ophiuchus cloud, Ophiuchus C, made
    with the POL-2 instrument on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) as part
    of the JCMT B-fields In STar-forming Region Observations (BISTRO) survey. We
    detect an ordered magnetic field projected on the plane of sky in the starless
    core. The magnetic field across the $\sim$0.1~pc core shows a predominant
    northeast-southwest orientation centering between $\sim$40$^\circ$ to
    $\sim$100$^\circ$, indicating that the field in the core is well aligned with
    the magnetic field in lower-density regions of the cloud probed by
    near-infrared observations and also the cloud-scale magnetic field traced by
    Planck observations. The polarization percentage ($P$) decreases with an
    increasing total intensity ($I$) with a power-law index of $-$1.03 $\pm$ 0.05.
    We estimate the plane-of-sky field strength ($B_{\mathrm{pos } }$) using modified
    Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi (DCF) methods based on structure function (SF),
    auto-correlation (ACF), and unsharp masking (UM) analyses. We find that the
    estimates from the SF, ACF, and UM methods yield strengths of 103 $\pm$ 46
    $\mu$G, 136 $\pm$ 69 $\mu$G, and 213 $\pm$ 115 $\mu$G, respectively. Our
    calculations suggest that the Ophiuchus C core is near magnetically critical or
    slightly magnetically supercritical (i.e. unstable to collapse). The total
    magnetic energy calculated from the SF method is comparable to the turbulent
    energy in Ophiuchus C, while the ACF method and the UM method only set upper
    limits for the total magnetic energy because of large uncertainties.

    To shed light on the early phase of a low-mass protostar formation process,
    we conducted interferometric observations towards a protostar GF9-2 using the
    CARMA and SMA. The observations have been carried out in the CO J=3-2 line and
    in the continuum emission at the wavelengths of 3 mm, 1 mm and 850 micron. All
    the continuum images detected a single point-like source with a radius of
    250+/-80 AU at the center of the previously known ~3 Msun molecular cloud core.
    A compact emission is detected towards the object at the Spitzer MIPS and IRAC
    bands as well as the four bands at the WISE. Our spectroscopic imaging of the
    CO line revealed that the continuum source is driving a 1000 AU scale molecular
    outflow, including a pair of lobes where a collimated "higher" velocity red
    lobe exists inside a poorly collimated "lower" velocity red lobe. These lobes
    are rather young and the least powerful ones so far detected. A protostellar
    mass of M~<0.06 Msun was estimated using an upper limit of the protostellar age
    of (4+/-1)x10^3 yrs and an inferred non-spherical steady mass accretion rate of
    ~10^{-5} Msun/yr. Together with results from an SED analysis, we discuss that
    the outflow system is driven by a protostar whose surface temperature
    of~3,000K, and that the natal cloud core is being dispersed by the outflow.

    We present the 850 $\mu$m polarization observations toward the IC5146
    filamentary cloud taken using the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array 2
    (SCUBA-2) and its associated polarimeter (POL-2), mounted on the James Clerk
    Maxwell Telescope (JCMT), as part of the B-fields In STar forming Regions
    Observations (BISTRO). This work is aimed at revealing the magnetic field
    morphology within a core-scale ($\lesssim 1.0$ pc) hub-filament structure (HFS)
    located at the end of a parsec-scale filament. To investigate whether or not
    the observed polarization traces the magnetic field in the HFS, we analyze the
    dependence between the observed polarization fraction and total intensity using
    a Bayesian approach with the polarization fraction described by the Rice
    likelihood function, which can correctly describe the probability density
    function (PDF) of the observed polarization fraction for low signal-to-noise
    ratio (SNR) data. We find a power-law dependence between the polarization
    fraction and total intensity with an index of 0.56 in $A_V\sim$ 20--300 mag
    regions, suggesting that the dust grains in these dense regions can still be
    aligned with magnetic fields in the IC5146 regions. Our polarization maps
    reveal a curved magnetic field, possibly dragged by the contraction along the
    parsec-scale filament. We further obtain a magnetic field strength of
    0.5$\pm$0.2 mG toward the central hub using the Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi
    method, corresponding to a mass-to-flux criticality of $\sim$ $1.3\pm0.4$ and
    an Alfv\'{e}nic Mach number of $<$0.6. These results suggest that gravity and
    magnetic field is currently of comparable importance in the HFS, and turbulence
    is less important.

    We present the results of dust emission polarization measurements of
    Ophiuchus-B (Oph-B) carried out using the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer
    Array 2 (SCUBA-2) camera with its associated polarimeter (POL-2) on the James
    Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) in Hawaii. This work is part of the B-fields In
    Star-forming Region Observations (BISTRO) survey initiated to understand the
    role of magnetic fields in star formation for nearby star-forming molecular
    clouds. We present a first look at the geometry and strength of magnetic fields
    in Oph-B. The field geometry is traced over $\sim$0.2 pc, with clear detection
    of both of the sub-clumps of Oph-B. The field pattern appears significantly
    disordered in sub-clump Oph-B1. The field geometry in Oph-B2 is more ordered,
    with a tendency to be along the major axis of the clump, parallel to the
    filamentary structure within which it lies. The degree of polarization
    decreases systematically towards the dense core material in the two sub-clumps.
    The field lines in the lower density material along the periphery are smoothly
    joined to the large scale magnetic fields probed by NIR polarization
    observations. We estimated a magnetic field strength of 630$\pm$410 $\mu$G in
    the Oph-B2 sub-clump using a Davis-Chandeasekhar-Fermi analysis. With this
    magnetic field strength, we find a mass-to-flux ratio $\lambda$= 1.6$\pm$1.1,
    which suggests that the Oph-B2 clump is slightly magnetically supercritical.

    We present 850 $\mu$m imaging polarimetry data of the $\rho$ Oph-A core taken
    with the Submillimeter Common-User Bolometer Array-2 (SCUBA-2) and its
    polarimeter (POL-2), as part of our ongoing survey project, BISTRO (B-fields In
    STar forming RegiOns). The polarization vectors are used to identify the
    orientation of the magnetic field projected on the plane of the sky at a
    resolution of 0.01 pc. We identify 10 subregions with distinct polarization
    fractions and angles in the 0.2 pc $\rho$ Oph A core; some of them can be part
    of a coherent magnetic field structure in the $\rho$ Oph region. The results
    are consistent with previous observations of the brightest regions of $\rho$
    Oph-A, where the degrees of polarization are at a level of a few percents, but
    our data reveal for the first time the magnetic field structures in the fainter
    regions surrounding the core where the degree of polarization is much higher
    ($> 5 \%$). A comparison with previous near-infrared polarimetric data shows
    that there are several magnetic field components which are consistent at
    near-infrared and submillimeter wavelengths. Using the
    Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi method, we also derive magnetic field strengths in
    several sub-core regions, which range from approximately 0.2 to 5 mG. We also
    find a correlation between the magnetic field orientations projected on the sky
    with the core centroid velocity components.

    The Survey of Water and Ammonia in the Galactic Center (SWAG) covers the
    Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of the Milky Way at frequencies between 21.2 and
    25.4 GHz obtained at the Australia Telescope Compact Array at $\sim 0.9$ pc
    spatial and $\sim 2.0$ km s$^{-1}$ spectral resolution. In this paper, we
    present data on the inner $\sim 250$ pc ($1.4^\circ$) between Sgr C and Sgr B2.
    We focus on the hyperfine structure of the metastable ammonia inversion lines
    (J,K) = (1,1) - (6,6) to derive column density, kinematics, opacity and kinetic
    gas temperature. In the CMZ molecular clouds, we find typical line widths of
    $8-16$ km s$^{-1}$ and extended regions of optically thick ($\tau > 1$)
    emission. Two components in kinetic temperature are detected at $25-50$ K and
    $60-100$ K, both being significantly hotter than dust temperatures throughout
    the CMZ. We discuss the physical state of the CMZ gas as traced by ammonia in
    the context of the orbital model by Kruijssen et al. (2015) that interprets the
    observed distribution as a stream of molecular clouds following an open
    eccentric orbit. This allows us to statistically investigate the time
    dependencies of gas temperature, column density and line width. We find heating
    rates between $\sim 50$ and $\sim 100$ K Myr$^{-1}$ along the stream orbit. No
    strong signs of time dependence are found for column density or line width.
    These quantities are likely dominated by cloud-to-cloud variations. Our results
    qualitatively match the predictions of the current model of tidal triggering of
    cloud collapse, orbital kinematics and the observation of an evolutionary
    sequence of increasing star formation activity with orbital phase.

    The FOREST Unbiased Galactic plane Imaging survey with the Nobeyama 45-m
    telescope (FUGIN) project is one of the legacy projects using the new
    multi-beam FOREST receiver installed on the Nobeyama 45-m telescope. This
    project aims to investigate the distribution, kinematics, and physical
    properties of both diffuse and dense molecular gas in the Galaxy at once by
    observing 12CO, 13CO, and C18O J=1-0 lines simultaneously. The mapping regions
    are a part of the 1st quadrant (10d < l < 50d, |b| < 1d) and the 3rd quadrant
    (198d < l <236d, |b| < 1d) of the Galaxy, where spiral arms, bar structure, and
    the molecular gas ring are included. This survey achieves the highest angular
    resolution to date (~20") for the Galactic plane survey in the CO J=1-0 lines,
    which makes it possible to find dense clumps located farther away than the
    previous surveys. FUGIN will provide us with an invaluable dataset for
    investigating the physics of the galactic interstellar medium (ISM),
    particularly the evolution of interstellar gas covering galactic scale
    structures to the internal structures of giant molecular clouds, such as small
    filament/clump/core. We present an overview of the FUGIN project, observation
    plan, and initial results, which reveal wide-field and detailed structures of
    molecular clouds, such as entangled filaments that have not been obvious in
    previous surveys, and large-scale kinematics of molecular gas such as spiral
    arms.

    We determine the magnetic field strength in the OMC 1 region of the Orion A
    filament via a new implementation of the Chandrasekhar-Fermi method using
    observations performed as part of the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT)
    B-Fields In Star-Forming Region Observations (BISTRO) survey with the POL-2
    instrument. We combine BISTRO data with archival SCUBA-2 and HARP observations
    to find a plane-of-sky magnetic field strength in OMC 1 of $B_{\rm
    pos}=6.6\pm4.7$ mG, where $\delta B_{\rm pos}=4.7$ mG represents a
    predominantly systematic uncertainty. We develop a new method for measuring
    angular dispersion, analogous to unsharp masking. We find a magnetic energy
    density of $\sim1.7\times 10^{-7}$ Jm$^{-3}$ in OMC 1, comparable both to the
    gravitational potential energy density of OMC 1 ($\sim 10^{-7}$ Jm$^{-3}$), and
    to the energy density in the Orion BN/KL outflow ($\sim 10^{-7}$ Jm$^{-3}$). We
    find that neither the Alfv\'{e}n velocity in OMC 1 nor the velocity of the
    super-Alfv\'{e}nic outflow ejecta is sufficiently large for the BN/KL outflow
    to have caused large-scale distortion of the local magnetic field in the
    $\sim$500-year lifetime of the outflow. Hence, we propose that the hour-glass
    field morphology in OMC 1 is caused by the distortion of a primordial
    cylindrically-symmetric magnetic field by the gravitational fragmentation of
    the filament and/or the gravitational interaction of the BN/KL and S clumps. We
    find that OMC 1 is currently in or near magnetically-supported equilibrium, and
    that the current large-scale morphology of the BN/KL outflow is regulated by
    the geometry of the magnetic field in OMC 1, and not vice versa.

    We present the first results from the B-fields In STar-forming Region
    Observations (BISTRO) survey, using the Sub-millimetre Common-User Bolometer
    Array 2 (SCUBA-2) camera, with its associated polarimeter (POL-2), on the James
    Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) in Hawaii. We discuss the survey's aims and
    objectives. We describe the rationale behind the survey, and the questions
    which the survey will aim to answer. The most important of these is the role of
    magnetic fields in the star formation process on the scale of individual
    filaments and cores in dense regions. We describe the data acquisition and
    reduction processes for POL-2, demonstrating both repeatability and consistency
    with previous data. We present a first-look analysis of the first results from
    the BISTRO survey in the OMC 1 region. We see that the magnetic field lies
    approximately perpendicular to the famous 'integral filament' in the densest
    regions of that filament. Furthermore, we see an 'hour-glass' magnetic field
    morphology extending beyond the densest region of the integral filament into
    the less-dense surrounding material, and discuss possible causes for this. We
    also discuss the more complex morphology seen along the Orion Bar region. We
    examine the morphology of the field along the lower-density north-eastern
    filament. We find consistency with previous theoretical models that predict
    magnetic fields lying parallel to low-density, non-self-gravitating filaments,
    and perpendicular to higher-density, self-gravitating filaments.

    We observed thirteen Planck cold clumps with the James Clerk Maxwell
    Telescope/SCUBA-2 and with the Nobeyama 45 m radio telescope. The N$_2$H$^+$
    distribution obtained with the Nobeyama telescope is quite similar to SCUBA-2
    dust distribution. The 82 GHz HC$_3$N, 82 GHz CCS, and 94 GHz CCS emission are
    often distributed differently with respect to the N$_2$H$^+$ emission. The CCS
    emission, which is known to be abundant in starless molecular cloud cores, is
    often very clumpy in the observed targets. We made deep single-pointing
    observations in DNC, HN$^{13}$C, N$_2$D$^+$, cyclic-C$_3$H$_2$ toward nine
    clumps. The detection rate of N$_2$D$^+$ is 50\%. Furthermore, we observed the
    NH$_3$ emission toward 15 Planck cold clumps to estimate the kinetic
    temperature, and confirmed that most of targets are cold ($\lesssim$ 20 K). In
    two of the starless clumps observe, the CCS emission is distributed as it
    surrounds the N$_2$H$^+$ core (chemically evolved gas), which resembles the
    case of L1544, a prestellar core showing collapse. In addition, we detected
    both DNC and N$_2$D$^+$. These two clumps are most likely on the verge of star
    formation. We introduce the Chemical Evolution Factor (CEF) for starless cores
    to describe the chemical evolutionary stage, and analyze the observed Planck
    cold clumps.

    We developed a dual-linear-polarization HEMT (High Electron Mobility
    Transistor) amplifier receiver system of the 45-GHz band (hereafter Z45), and
    installed it in the Nobeyama 45-m radio telescope. The receiver system is
    designed to conduct polarization observations by taking the cross correlation
    of two linearly-polarized components, from which we process full-Stokes
    spectroscopy. We aim to measure the magnetic field strength through the Zeeman
    effect of the emission line of CCS ($J_N=4_3-3_2$) toward pre-protostellar
    cores. A linear-polarization receiver system has a smaller contribution of
    instrumental polarization components to the Stokes $V$ spectra than that of the
    circular polarization system, so that it is easier to obtain the Stokes $V$
    spectra. The receiver has an RF frequency of 42 $-$ 46 GHz and an intermediate
    frequency (IF) band of 4$-$8 GHz. The typical noise temperature is about 50 K,
    and the system noise temperature ranges from 100 K to 150K over the frequency
    of 42 $-$ 46 GHz. The receiver system is connected to two spectrometers, SAM45
    and PolariS. SAM45 is a highly flexible FX-type digital spectrometer with a
    finest frequency resolution of 3.81 kHz. PolariS is a newly-developed digital
    spectrometer with a finest frequency resolution of 60 Hz, having a capability
    to process the full-Stokes spectroscopy. The Half Power Beam Width (HPBW) of
    the beam was measured to be 37$"$ at 43 GHz. The main beam efficiency of the
    Gaussian main beam was derived to be 0.72 at 43 GHz. The SiO maser observations
    show that the beam pattern is reasonably round at about 10 \% of the peak
    intensity and the side-lobe level was less than 3 \% of the peak intensity.
    Finally, we present some examples of astronomical observations using Z45.

    To study physical properties of the natal filament gas around the cloud core
    harboring an exceptionally young low-mass protostar GF9-2, we carried out J=1-0
    line observations of 12CO, 13CO, and C18O molecules using the Nobeyama 45m
    telescope. The mapping area covers ~1/5 of the whole filament. Our 13CO and
    C18O maps clearly demonstrate that the core formed at the local density maxima
    of the filament, and the internal motions of the filament gas are totally
    governed by turbulence with Mach number of ~2. We estimated the scale height of
    the filament to be H = 0.3 ~ 0.7 pc, yielding the central density of n_c = 700
    ~4200 cm^-3. Our analysis adopting an isothermal cylinder model shows that the
    filament is supported by the turbulent and magnetic pressures against the
    radial and axial collapse due to self-gravity. Since both the dissipation time
    scales of the turbulence and the transverse magnetic fields can be comparable
    to the free-fall time of the filament gas of 10^6 years, we conclude that the
    local decay of the supersonic turbulence made the filament gas locally
    unstable, hence making the core collapse. Furthermore, we newly detected a gas
    condensation with velocity width enhancement to ~0.3 pc south-west of the GF9-2
    core. The condensation has a radius of ~0.15 pc and an LTE mass of ~5 Msun. Its
    internal motion is turbulent with Mach number of ~3, suggestive of a
    gravitationally unbound state. Considering the uncertainties in our estimates,
    however, we propose that the condensation is a precursor of a cloud core which
    would have been produced by the collision of the two gas components identified
    in the filament.

    The Serpens South infrared dark cloud consists of several filamentary ridges,
    some of which fragment into dense clumps. On the basis of CCS ($J_N=4_3-3_2$),
    HC$_3$N ($J=5-4$), N$_2$H$^+$ ($J=1-0$), and SiO ($J=2-1, v=0$) observations,
    we investigated the kinematics and chemical evolution of these filamentary
    ridges. We find that CCS is extremely abundant along the main filament in the
    protocluster clump. We emphasize that Serpens South is the first
    cluster-forming region where extremely-strong CCS emission is detected. The
    CCS-to-N$_2$H$^+$ abundance ratio is estimated to be about 0.5 toward the
    protocluster clump, whereas it is about 3 in the other parts of the main
    filament. We identify six dense ridges with different $V_{\rm LSR}$. These
    ridges appear to converge toward the protocluster clump, suggesting that the
    collisions of these ridges may have triggered cluster formation. The collisions
    presumably happened within a few $\times \ 10^5$ yr because CCS is abundant
    only in such a short time. The short lifetime agrees with the fact that the
    number fraction of Class I objects, whose typical lifetime is $0.4 \times \
    10^5$ yr, is extremely high as about 70 percent in the protocluster clump. In
    the northern part, two ridges appear to have partially collided, forming a
    V-shape clump. In addition, we detected strong bipolar SiO emission that is due
    to the molecular outflow blowing out of the protostellar clump, as well as
    extended weak SiO emission that may originate from the filament collisions.

    protostar L1157-mm at two different wavelengths. We show polarimetric maps at
    large scales (10" resolution at 350 um) from the SHARC-II Polarimeter and at
    smaller scales (1.2"-4.5" at 1.3 mm) from the Combined Array for Research in
    Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA). The observations are consistent with each
    other and show inferred magnetic field lines aligned with the outflow. The
    CARMA observations suggest a full hourglass magnetic field morphology centered
    about the core; this is only the second well-defined hourglass detected around
    a low-mass protostar to date. We apply two different methods to CARMA
    polarimetric observations to estimate the plane-of-sky magnetic field
    magnitude, finding values of 1.4 and 3.4 mG.

    In order to investigate when and how the birth of a protostellar core occurs,
    we made survey observations of four well-studied dense cores in the Taurus
    molecular cloud using CO transitions in submillimeter bands. We report here the
    detection of unexpectedly warm (~ 30 - 70 K), extended (radius of ~ 2400 AU),
    dense (a few times 10^{5} cm^{-3}) gas at the heart of one of the dense cores,
    L1521F (MC27), within the cold dynamically collapsing components. We argue that
    the detected warm, extended, dense gas may originate from shock regions caused
    by collisions between the dynamically collapsing components and
    outflowing/rotating components within the dense core. We propose a new stage of
    star formation, "warm-in-cold core stage (WICCS)", i.e., the cold collapsing
    envelope encases the warm extended dense gas at the center due to the formation
    of a protostellar core. WICCS would constitutes a missing link in evolution
    between a cold quiescent starless core and a young protostar in class 0 stage
    that has a large-scale bipolar outflow.

    We present single-dish 350 micron dust continuum polarimetry as well as HCN
    and HCO+ J=4-3 rotational emission spectra obtained on NGC 1333 IRAS 4. The
    polarimetry indicates a uniform field morphology over a 20" radius from the
    peak continuum flux of IRAS 4A, in agreement with models of magnetically
    supported cloud collapse. The field morphology around IRAS 4B appears to be
    quite distinct however, with indications of depolarization observed towards the
    peak flux of this source. Inverse P-Cygni profiles are observed in the HCN
    J=4-3 line spectra towards IRAS 4A, providing a clear indication of infall gas
    motions. Taken together, the evidence gathered here appears to support the
    scenario that IRAS 4A is a cloud core in a critical state of support against
    gravitational collapse.

    We used the Extended Submillimeter Array (eSMA) in its most extended
    configuration to investigate the innermost (within a radius of 290 R* from the
    star) circumstellar envelope (CSE) of IRC+10216. We imaged the CSE using HCN
    and other molecular lines with a beam size of 0."22 x 0."46, deeply into the
    very inner edge (15 R*) of the envelope where the expansion velocity is only 3
    km/s. The excitation mechanism of hot HCN and KCl maser lines is discussed. HCN
    maser components are spatially resolved for the first time on an astronomical
    object. We identified two discrete regions in the envelope: a region with a
    radius of . 15 R*, where molecular species have just formed and the gas has
    begun to be accelerated (region I) and a shell region (region II) with a radius
    of 23 R* and a thickness of 15 R*, whose expansion velocity has reached up to
    13 km/s, nearly the terminal velocity of 15 km/s. The Si$^{34}$S line detected
    in region I shows a large expansion velocity of 16 km/s due to strong wing
    components, indicating that the emission may arise from a shock region in the
    innermost envelope. In region II, the P.A. of the most copious mass loss
    direction was found to be 120 +/- 10 degrees, which may correspond to the
    equatorial direction of the star. Region II contains a torus-like feature.
    These two regions may have emerged due to significant differences in the size
    distributions of the dust particles in the two regions.

    We present spectroscopic evidence for infall motion of gas in the natal cloud
    core harboring an extremely young low-mass protostar GF9-2. We previously
    discussed that the ongoing collapse of the GF9-2 core has agreement with the
    Larson-Penston-Hunter (LPH) theoretical solution for the gravitational collapse
    of a core (Furuya et al.; paper I). To discuss the gas infall on firmer ground,
    we have carried out On-The-Fly mapping observations of the HCO+ (1--0) line
    using the Nobeyama 45m telescope equipped with the 25 Beam Array Receiver
    System. Furthermore, we observed the HCN (1--0) line with the 45m telescope,
    and the HCO+ (3--2) line with the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory 10.4 m
    telescope. The optically thick HCO+ and HCN lines show blueskewed profiles
    whose deepest absorptions are seen at the peak velocity of optically thin
    lines, i.e., the systemic velocity of the cloud (paper I), indicating the
    presence of gas infall toward the central protostar. We compared the observed
    HCO+ line profiles with model ones by solving the radiative transfer in the
    core under LTE assumption.We found that the core gas has a constant infall
    velocity of ~0.5 km/s in the central region, leading to a mass accretion rate
    of 2.5x10^{-5} Msun/yr. Consequently, we confirm that the gas infall in the
    GF9-2 core is consistent with the LPH solution.

    We report the first science observations and results obtained with the

    (James Clerk Maxwell Telescope) and CSO (Caltech Submillimeter Observatory).
    Redshifted absorptions at z=0.886 of CI (^3P_1 - ^3P_0) were observed with the
    eSMA with an angular resolution of 0.55"x0.22" at 1.1 mm toward the
    southwestern image of the remarkable lensed quasar PKS 1830-211, but not toward
    the northeastern component at a separation of ~1". Additionally, SMA
    observations of CO, 13CO and C18O (all J=4-3) were obtained toward this object:
    CO was also detected toward the SW component, but none of the isotopologues
    were. This is the first time [CI] is detected in this object, allowing the
    first direct determination of relative abundances of neutral atomic carbon to
    CO in the molecular clouds of a spiral galaxy at z>0.1. The [CI] and CO
    profiles can be decomposed into two and three velocity components respectively.
    We derive C/CO column density ratios ranging from <0.5 (representative of dense
    cores) to ~2.5 (close to translucent clouds values). This could indicate that
    we are seeing environments with different physical conditions or that we are
    witnessing chemical evolution of regions where C has not completely been
    converted into CO.

    The eSMA ("extended SMA") combines the SMA, JCMT and CSO into a single
    facility, providing enhanced sensitivity and spatial resolution owing to the
    increased collecting area at the longest baselines. Until ALMA early science
    observing (2011), the eSMA will be the facility capable of the highest angular
    resolution observations at 345 GHz. The gain in sensitivity and resolution will
    bring new insights in a variety of fields, such as protoplanetary/transition
    disks, high-mass star formation, solar system bodies, nearby and high-z
    galaxies. Therefore the eSMA is an important facility to prepare the grounds
    for ALMA and train scientists in the techniques.
    Over the last two years, and especially since November 2006, there has been
    substantial progress toward making the eSMA into a working interferometer. In
    particular, (i) new 345-GHz receivers, that match the capabilities of the SMA
    system, were installed at the JCMT and CSO; (ii) numerous tests have been
    performed for receiver, correlator and baseline calibrations in order to
    determine and take into account the effects arising from the differences
    between the three types of antennas; (iii) first fringes at 345 GHz were
    obtained on August 30 2007, and the array has entered the science-verification
    stage.
    We report on the characteristics of the eSMA and its measured performance at
    230 GHz and that expected at 345 GHz. We also present the results of the
    commissioning and some initial science-verification observations, including the
    first absorption measurement of the C/CO ratio in a galaxy at z=0.89, located
    along the line of sight to the lensed quasar PKS1830-211, and on the imaging of
    the vibrationally excited HCN line towards IRC+10216.

    We carried out an unbiased mapping survey of dense molecular cloud cores
    traced by the NH3 (1,1) and (2,2) inversion lines in the GF9 filament which
    contains an extremely young low-mass protostar GF9-2 (Furuya et al. 2006, ApJ,
    653, 1369). The survey was conducted using the Nobeyama 45m telescope over a
    region of ~1.5 deg with an angular resolution of 73". The large-scale map
    revealed that the filament contains at least 7 dense cores, as well as 3
    possible ones, located at regular intervals of ~0.9 pc. Our analysis shows that
    these cores have kinetic temperatures of $\lesssim$ 10 K and LTE-masses of 1.8
    -- 8.2 Msun, making them typical sites of low-mass star formation. All the
    identified cores are likely to be gravitationally unstable because their
    LTE-masses are larger than their virial masses. Since the LTE-masses and
    separations of the cores are consistent with the Jeans masses and lengths,
    respectively, for the low-density ambient gas, we argue that the identified
    cores have formed via the gravitational fragmentation of the natal filamentary
    cloud.

    We used the Submillimeter Array to map the angular distribution of the
    H30$\alpha$ recombination line (231.9 GHz) in the circumstellar region of the
    peculiar star MWC349A. The resolution was $1\farcs2$, but because of high
    signal-to-noise ratio we measured the positions of all maser components to
    accuracies better than $0\farcs01$, at a velocity resolution of $1 kms$. The
    two strongest maser components (called high velocity components) at velocities
    near -14 and $32 kms$ are separated by $0\farcs048 \pm 0\farcs001$ (60 AU)
    along a position angle of $102 \pm 1\arcdeg$. The distribution of maser
    emission at velocities between and beyond these two strongest components were
    also provided. The continuum emission lies at the center of the maser
    distribution to within 10 mas. The masers appear to trace a nearly edge-on
    rotating disk structure, reminiscent of the water masers in Keplerian rotation
    in the nuclear accretion disk of the galaxy NGC4258. However, the maser
    components in MWC349A do not follow a simple Keplerian kinematic prescription
    with $v \sim r^{-1/2}$, but have a larger power law index. We explore the
    possibility that the high velocity masers trace spiral density or shock waves.
    We also emphasize caution in the interpretation of relative centroid maser
    positions where the maser is not clearly resolved in position or velocity, and
    we present simulations that illustrate the range of applicability of the
    centroiding method.

    We present a study of the natal core harboring the class 0 protostar GF9-2 in
    the filamentary dark cloud GF 9 (d = 200 pc). GF9-2 stands unique in the sense
    that it shows H2O maser emission, a clear signpost of protostar formation,
    whereas it does not have a high-velocity large-scale molecular outflow
    evidenced by our deep search for CO wing emission. These facts indicate that
    GF9-2 core is early enough after star formation so that it still retains some
    information of initial conditions for collapse. Our 350 um dust continuum
    emission image revealed the presence of a protostellar envelope in the center
    of a molecular core. The mass of the envelope is ~0.6 Msun from the 350 um flux
    density, while LTE mass of the core is ~3 Msun from moleuclar line
    observations. Combining visibility data from the OVRO mm-array and the 45m
    telescope, we found that the core has a radial density profile of
    $\rho(r)\propto r^{-2}$ for 0.003 < r/pc < 0.08 region. Molecular line data
    analysis revealed that the velocity width of the core gas increases
    inward,while the outermost region maintains a velocity dispersion of a few
    times of the ambient sound speed. The broadened velocity width can be
    interpreted as infall. Thus, the collapse in GF9-2 is likely to be described by
    an extension of the Larson-Penston solution for the period after formation of a
    central star. We derived the current mass accretion rate of ~3E-05 Msun/year
    from infall velocity of ~ 0.3 km/s at r~ 7000 AU. All results suggest that
    GF9-2 core has been undergoing gravitational collapse for ~ 5000 years since
    the formation of central protostar(s), and that the unstable state initiated
    the collapse ~2E+05 years (the free-fall time) ago.

    Using the Owens Valley and Nobeyama Radio Observatory interferometers, we carried out an unbiased search for hot molecular cores and ultracompact (UC) H II regions toward the high-mass star-forming region G19.61-0.23. In addition, we performed 1.2 mm imaging with SIMBA and retrieved 3.5 and 2 cm images from the VLA archive database. The newly obtained 3 mm image brings information on a cluster of high-mass ( proto) stars located in the innermost and densest part of the parsec-scale clump detected in the 1.2 mm continuum. We identify a total of 10 high-mass young stellar objects: one hot core (HC) and nine UC H II regions, whose physical parameters are obtained from model fits to their continuum spectra. The ratio between the current and expected final radii of the UCH II regions ranges from 0.3 to 0.9, which leaves the possibility that all O-B stars formed simultaneously. Under the opposite assumption, namely, that star formation occurred randomly, we estimate that the HC lifetime is less than &SIM; 1/3 of that of UC H II regions on the basis of the source number ratio between them.

    Using the partially completed Submillimeter Array with five antennas, we have
    observed the CO J=2-1 and 3-2 emission from the envelope surrounding the carbon
    star V Hya. The high-angular resolution (2"-4") maps show that V Hya is
    powering a bipolar molecular jet having an extreme velocity of 70-185 km/s. The
    axis of this high velocity jet is perpendicular to the major axis of the
    flattened disk-like envelope, which is expanding with a velocity of ~16
    km/s.There is a third kinematic component, a medium-velocity wind having a
    deprojected velocity of 40-120 km/s moving along the disk plane. Both the high
    velocity jet and the medium velocity wind have a dynamical time scale of a few
    hundred years. The flattened structure and the collimated jet observed in V Hya
    suggests that the formation of asymmetrical structure proceeds while the
    central star is still in the AGB phase

    We briefly report the results of polarimetric observations of SiO emission from late-type stars taken with a millimeter polarimeter installed at the Nobeyama 45m telescope. We found that the SiO J = 2 - 1 emission in the v = 0 state from R Cas contains a highly linearly polarized component, followed by the detection of highly linearly polarized emission of the same transition from VY CMa (Shinnaga et al. 1999). The high polarization degree is a strong evidence that the v=0 emission originates from maser action. We found out that, not only a peculiar supergiant star, but also a Mira variable star is associated with the SiO v = 0 maser.

    We have designed and constructed a tunable polarimeter system to cover frequencies from 35 GHz to 250 GHz, (8.6 mm and 1.2 mm in wavelength) for the 45m telescope at Nobeyama Radio Observatory (NRO). Both circular and linear polarizations can be measured by the polarimeter. The performance of the polarimeter in astronomical observations was tested by simultaneously measuring the linear polarization of the J = 2 - 1 transition of SiO in the nu=0 and 1 states at 86 GHz toward VY CMa. The design, construction, and tests are presented briefly.

    We present observations of polarized dust emission at 850 $\mu$m from the L43
    molecular cloud which sits in the Ophiuchus cloud complex. The data were taken
    using SCUBA-2/POL-2 on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope as a part of the
    BISTRO large program. L43 is a dense ($N_{\rm H_2}\sim 10^{22}$-10$^{23}$
    cm$^{-2}$) complex molecular cloud with a submillimetre-bright starless core
    and two protostellar sources. There appears to be an evolutionary gradient
    along the isolated filament that L43 is embedded within, with the most evolved
    source closest to the Sco OB2 association. One of the protostars drives a CO
    outflow that has created a cavity to the southeast. We see a magnetic field
    that appears to be aligned with the cavity walls of the outflow, suggesting
    interaction with the outflow. We also find a magnetic field strength of up to
    $\sim$160$\pm$30 $\mu$G in the main starless core and up to $\sim$90$\pm$40
    $\mu$G in the more diffuse, extended region. These field strengths give
    magnetically super- and sub-critical values respectively and both are found to
    be roughly trans-Alfv\'enic. We also present a new method of data reduction for
    these denser but fainter objects like starless cores.

    昨年度はJVLAを用いた赤色超巨星のおおいぬ座VY星(VY CMa)の星周領域の観測を2つの配列(広がった成分検出のD配列、及び コンパクト成分観測のB配列)で提案した。D配列は高評価で提案が採択され、データは取得済だが、コロナウィルス問題のため、観測所を訪問してデータの詳細な解析、議論する過程が現在、未完了である。B配列については、フィラー観測として採択され、コロナウィルスの影響で延期されていたB配列の開始は20年6月中旬以降の予定である。
    VERAの同星のSiO分子の振動励起状態v=0, 1, 2, 3 の4輝線同時観測はデータ解析を完了し、現在成論文を投稿準備中である。v=3の5000Kを超えるエネルギー準位の輝線イメージングの成功に加え、通常は熱的励起の広がったv=0の輝線であるが、高い直線偏波率を示す同星のv=0輝線のVLBIでの非常にコンパクトな成分の検出は、今までの常識を覆す成果である。この成果は、未解決だったv=0メーザーの起源を解き明かす重要なデータであり、宇宙メーザーの研究をリードする成果の一つとなる。
    同星星周領域で明るい、MERLIN望遠鏡による3つのOH分子輝線のデータ解析が進行中で、3-4秒角に渡って広がった、数十のクランプの中から、磁場強度測定の候補成分を選び出す。VLA望遠鏡(B配列)で検出したSiO v=0輝線の分布範囲(2秒角程度)の2倍程度の広がりを持つ。今年度は、JVLAによる新たな観測データの解析に加えて、これまでの成果をまとめた論文出版を行う。コロナウィルスの影響による研究の遅れを取り戻すことを目標に、本研究プロジェクトの総括へ向けて進める。
    2019年度に採択されたIAUシンポジウム(Astropol2020)はコロナウィルスのため、会期を遅らせることを決定したが、本研究の成果も今年度に予定する同シンポジウムで発表する予定である。

    Our project succeeded in developing the triple-radio-band receiving system in the Nobeyama 45 m telescope. There we confirmed that the perforated frequency-band-separation filter plates we developed have the expected performance in the transparency rate and the pointing offset in the higher frequency bands. Using a part of this system, we succeeded in detecting the ignitions of jets from dying stars and periodic behaviors of circumstellar water and silicon-monoxide masers. Our intensive monitoring observations of circumstellar maser sources using the East Asia VLBI Network also have yielded detections of the different performances in the temporal variations of in the brightness distributions of water and silicon-monoxide masers in the common circumstellar envelope. These imply the possibility that we can reveal the variations in the bulk motions and the physical conditions of the maser gas clumps in the circumstellar envelopes affected by stellar pulsation and shock propagation.

    We studied the origin of two modes of star formation : "isolated" vs. "clustered" ; the former mostly represents low-mass star formation and the latter high-mass. In this context, we searched for extremely young protostar(s) as well as cluster of such (proto)stars over a wide range of stellar masses, and investigated physical properties of their natal molecular gas, focusing on accretion onto central star(s).
