Simultaneous evidence of edge collapse and hub-filament configurations:
  A rare case study of a Giant Molecular Filament G45.3+0.1
  We study multiwavelength and multiscale data to investigate the kinematics of
molecular gas associated with the star-forming complexes G045.49+00.04 (G45E)
and G045.14+00.14 (G45W) in the Aquila constellation. An analysis of the FUGIN
$^{13}$CO(1-0) line data unveils the presence of a giant molecular filament
(GMF G45.3+0.1; length $\sim$75 pc, mass $\sim$1.1$\times$10$^{6}$ M$_{\odot}$)
having a coherent velocity structure at [53, 63] km s$^{-1}$. The GMF G45.3+0.1
hosts G45E and G45W complexes at its opposite ends. We find large scale
velocity oscillations along GMF G45.3+0.1, which also reveals the linear
velocity gradients of $-$0.064 and $+$0.032 km s$^{-1}$ pc$^{-1}$ at its edges.
The photometric analysis of point-like sources shows the clustering of young
stellar object (YSO) candidate sources at the filament's edges where the
presence of dense gas and HII regions are also spatially observed. The Herschel
continuum maps along with the CHIMPS $^{13}$CO(3-2) line data unravel the
presence of parsec scale hub-filament systems (HFSs) in both the sites, G45E
and G45W. Our study suggests that the global collapse of GMF G45.3+0.1 is
end-dominated, with addition to the signature of global nonisotropic collapse
(GNIC) at the edges. Overall, GMF G45.3+0.1 is the first observational sample
of filament where the edge collapse and the hub-filament configurations are
simultaneously investigated. These observations open up the new possibility of
massive star formation, including the formation of HFSs.
