Marc Pound's Research
Since 1997, I have been member of the Laboratory for Millimeter-wave Astronomy. My primary research interests are the kinematics of Galactic molecular clouds and the formation of brown dwarfs. I am also the Computing Coordinator for the CARMA project as well as a CARMA software developer. |
Dynamics of Radiation Driven Molecular Clouds |
Formation of Substellar Mass Objects As a result of a mm-wavelength search for the proto-brown dwarfs in nearby molecular clouds, a 9 Jupiter mass object, Oph B-11, was identified in Ophiuchus ( Pound & Blitz 1995; Greaves, Holland and Pound 2003 ). Dr. Rahul Shetty (CfA) and I are using CARMA to map a CO outflow in this object. The figure to the left shows: 850 µm image of the ρ Oph B1 region, taken with SCUBA on the JCMT, showing proto-brown dwarf Oph B-11. |
