Super star clusters (M ecl > 105 M sun) are the largest stellar nurseries in our local Universe, containing hundreds of thousands to millions of young stars...
Temperature fluctuations in H II regions: Ionization by cosmic rays as a key mechanism
We present a detailed model capable of explaining quantitatively the temperature fluctuations observed in luminous, large H II regions. The model is based on...
We report the first detection of Ca II H and K absorption in the high-velocity cloud complex C, the largest HVC. Absorption is detected in the spectra of the...
The Disruption of Molecular Cloud Cores by Photoionization
We solve the line transfer problem in evolving H ii regions in order to calculate line profiles of hydrogen recombination (Hα) and forbidden oxygen ([O III]...
The Earthshine Project: update on photometric and spectroscopic measurements
The Earthshine Project is a collaborative effort between Big Bear Solar Observatory (New Jersey Institute of Technology) and the California Institute of...
The ESO Diffuse Interstellar Bands Large Exploration Survey (EDIBLES) . I. Project description, survey sample, and quality assessment
The carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are largely unidentified molecules ubiquitously present in the interstellar medium (ISM). After decades of...
The formation of super-star clusters in disk and dwarf galaxies
Super-star clusters are probably the largest star-forming entities in our local Universe, containing hundreds of thousands to millions of young stars usually...
The relation between the column density structures and the magnetic field orientation in the Vela C molecular complex
We statistically evaluated the relative orientation between gas column density structures, inferred from Herschel submillimetre observations, and the magnetic...
The structure of the interstellar gas towards stars in the globular cluster NGC 6541
Observations are presented of high resolution interstellar Na I D and K I (lambda 7699 Angstroms) line profiles towards 7 stars in the globular cluster NGC 6541...
