I am Jinghua Yuan (袁敬华), an astronomer working at the National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC).

I study the formation and early evolution of high-mass stars in the Milky Way. Recently, we have identified hundreds of high-mass starless clump (HMSC) candidates. With low dust temperatures and small luminosity-to-mass ratios, these HMSC candidates represent an early stage of high-mass star formation and can serve as ideal laboratories to reveal the initial conditions of birth-sites of high-mass stars.

Current Work

On the basis of ALLWISE data, we are currently identifying Extended Green Objects (EGOs) in the whole sky. Two exemplary WISE EGOs (WEGOs) newly identified in the outer Galactic Plane are shown as below.
