Dissecting a site of massive star formation: IRAS 23033+5951
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract We present new BIMA observations of the massive star-forming region IRAS 23033+5951 in Cepheus. 3 mm continuum observations reveal that the source decomposes into at least three dusty clumps, each of which has sufficient mass to form a massive star. The most massive clump has a mass of about 225 M and appears to house the massive protostar which drives the prominent CO outflow seen in the region. Our H13CN, 1-0, N2H+ 1-0, and H13CO+ 1-0 maps show that the three continuum sources are all embedded in an elongated structure whose long axis is perpendicular to the outflow. Both H13CO+ and H13CN peak at the geometric center of this structure, which lies between the two prominent continuum peaks. All three lines – H13CN, H13CO+, and N2H+ –show the same velocity gradient along the long axis of their integrated intensity maps. Although the approximately 90,000 AU length of the elongated structure prohibits a disk interpretation, the fact that the dynamical and gas masses of the structure differ by only a factor of a few suggests that the structure may be partially rotationally supported. We also detect a signature of infall toward the center of the structure, seen as an asymmetrically blue HCO+ line where its optically thin isotope, H13CO+, is symmetric and single-peaked.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
