We present a detailed study of the magnetic field structure in the G111 molecular cloud, a ring-like filamentary cloud within the NGC 7538 region. We utilized interstellar dust polarization from the Planck telescope to trace large-scale…

Filamentary structures are ubiquitous in the interstellar medium, yet the extent to which magnetic fields influence the morphology of cold atomic gas remains an open question. The nearby Riegel-Crutcher cloud, composed of long and narrow H…

We study the magnetic field structures in six giant filaments associated with the spiral arms of the Milky Way by applying the Velocity Gradient technique (VGT) to the 13CO spectroscopic data from GRS, Fugin, and SEDIGSM surveys. Compared…

We present mapping results of two prestellar cores, L1544 and L694-2, embedded in filamentary clouds in C$^{18}$O (3-2), $^{13}$CO (3-2), $^{12}$CO (3-2), HCO$^+$ (4-3), and H$^{13}$CO$^+$ (4-3) with the JCMT telescope to examine the role…

"TRAO FUNS" is a project to survey Gould Belt's clouds in molecular lines. This paper presents its first results on the central region of the California molecular cloud, L1478. We performed On-The-Fly mapping observations using the Taedeok…

We draw attention to the extreme filamentary structures seen in high-resolution optical images of certain planetary nebulae. We determine the physical properties of the filaments in the nebulae IC 418, NGC 3132, and NGC 6537, and based on…
