The Cygnus Allscale Survey of Chemistry and Dynamical Environments: CASCADE: Overview and first results toward DR20 from the Max Planck IRAM Observatory program (MIOP)

Context: While star formation on large molecular cloud scales and on small core and disk scales has been investigated intensely over the past decades, the connection of the large-scale interstellar material with the densest small-scale cores has been a largely neglected field. Methods: Using NOEMA a...

Description
Summary:Context: While star formation on large molecular cloud scales and on small core and disk scales has been investigated intensely over the past decades, the connection of the large-scale interstellar material with the densest small-scale cores has been a largely neglected field. Methods: Using NOEMA and the IRAM 30\,m telescope, we mapped large areas (640\,arcmin\(^2\)) of the archetypical star formation complex Cygnus X at 3.6\,mm wavelengths in line and continuum emission. Results: The scope and outline of The Cygnus Allscale Survey of Chemistry and Dynamical Environments (CASCADE) is presented. We then focus on the first observed subregion in Cygnus X, namely the DR20 star formation site, which comprises sources in a range of evolutionary stages from cold pristine gas clumps to more evolved ultracompact H{\sc ii} regions. The data covering cloud to cores scales at a linear spatial resolution of \(
