Our ALMA mosaic, which covers an extent of 0.7 pc at sub-arcsecond (1400 AU) resolution, reveals a rich population of 16 new millimetre continuum sources surrounding the three previously-known millimetre cores. Most of the new sources are located in the outer reaches of the accretion reservoir: the median projected separation from the central, massive (proto)star MM1 is 0.17 pc. The derived physical properties of the new millimetre continuum sources are consistent with those of low-mass prestellar and protostellar cores in nearby star-forming regions: the median mass, radius, and density of the new sources are 1.3 Msun, 1600 AU, and n(H2)=1e7 cm-3. At least three of the low-mass cores in G11.92-0.61 drive molecular outflows, traced by high-velocity 12CO(3-2) (observed with the SMA) and/or by H2CO and CH3OH emission (observed with ALMA). This finding, combined with the known outflow/accretion activity of MM1, indicates that high- and low-mass stars are forming (accreting) simultaneously within this protocluster. Our ALMA results are consistent with the predictions of competitive-accretion-type models in which high-mass stars form along with their surrounding clusters.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Link: <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.02802" class="">https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.02802</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you have recently read interesting astrophysics paper you would like to present, please contact me via e-mail: <a href="mailto:lceraj@phy.hr" class="">lceraj@phy.hr</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">See you on Wednesday.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers,</div><div class="">Lana</div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
