To reliably determine the main physical parameters (masses and ages) of young stars, we must know their distances. While the average distance to nearby star-forming regions (<300 pc) is often known, the distances to ...

Magellanic Bridge C (MB-C) is a metal-poor (similar to 1/5 Z(circle dot)) low-density star-forming region located 59 kpc away in the Magellanic Bridge, offering a resolved view of the star formation process in conditions ...

Star-forming regions have been tentatively associated with gamma-ray sources since the early days of the COS B satellite. After the many sources detected by the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory, the statistical evidence for ...

We study the functional form of the star-formation law using the Vaschy–Buckingham Pi theorem. We find that it should have the form Sµ S  ˙ G L gas 3 2, where L is a characteristic length that is related to an integration ...

We present HST narrowband near-infrared imaging of Pa alpha and Pa beta emission of 48 local luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) from the Great Observatories All-Sky LIRG Survey. These data allow us to measure the properties ...

Evidence for triggered star formation linking three generations of stars is difficult to assemble, as it requires convincingly associating evolved massive stars with H ii regions that, in turn, would need to present signs ...
