The W51 cloud complex is one of the best laboratories in our Galaxy to study high-mass star formation. At a distance of about 5 kpc, it is the closest region containing a high-mass protocluster, and it has two. The cloud includes a long infrared-dark cloud, is interacting with a supernova remnant, and contains a variety of unique massive protostellar sources. This article is an observational review of the region.

  1. ALMA-IMF XX: Core fragmentation in the W51 high-mass star-forming region

    astro-ph.GA 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In W51, massive cores contain more and brighter sub-fragments (PPOs), and these fragments are typically heavier than the thermal Jeans mass of their parent core.

  2. ALMA-IMF XIX: C18O (J=2-1): Measurements of turbulence in 15 massive protoclusters

    astro-ph.GA 2025-07 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    C18O observations of 15 massive protoclusters show supersonic turbulence (Mach 4 to 25) that is weaker in dense DCN cores, with size-linewidth slopes of 0.41 to 0.64.
