Star formation towards the Galactic HII region RCW120

M. Figueira, A. Zavagno, L. Deharveng +16

The expansion of HII regions can trigger the formation of stars. An overdensity of young stellar objects (YSOs) is observed at the edges of HII regions but the mechanisms that give…

Globular Clusters As Tracers of Fine Structure in the Dramatic Shell Galaxy NGC 474

Sungsoon Lim, Eric W. Peng, Pierre-Alain Duc +7

Globular clusters (GCs) are some of the most visible tracers of the merging and accretion history of galaxy halos. Metal-poor GCs, in particular, are thought to arrive in massive g…

Dense gas in low-metallicity galaxies

J. Braine, Y. Shimajiri, P. André +4

Stars form out of the densest parts of molecular clouds. Far-IR emission can be used to estimate the Star Formation Rate (SFR) and high dipole moment molecules, typically HCN, trac…

Spiral-driven accretion in protoplanetary discs - III tri-dimensional simulations

Patrick Hennebelle, Geoffroy Lesur, Sébastien Fromang

Understanding how accretion proceeds in proto-planetary discs and more generally their dynamics is a crucial issue for explaining the conditions in which planets form. The role tha…

Disentangling the ISM phases of the dwarf galaxy NGC 4214 using [CII] SOFIA/GREAT observations

Katja Fahrion, Diane Cormier, Frank Bigiel +9

The [CII] 158 um fine structure line is one of the dominant cooling lines in the interstellar medium (ISM) and is an important tracer of star formation. Recent velocity-resolved st…

High-redshift major mergers weakly enhance star formation

J. Fensch, F. Renaud, F. Bournaud +11

Galaxy mergers are believed to trigger strong starbursts. This is well assessed by observations in the local Universe. However the efficiency of this mechanism has poorly been test…

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). XXIV. The Red Sequence to 10 L and Comparisons with Galaxy Formation Models

Joel C. Roediger, Laura Ferrarese, Patrick Côté +22

We use deep optical photometry from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey [NGVS] to investigate the color-magnitude diagram for the galaxies inhabiting the core of this cluster.…

Evidence for strong evolution in galaxy environmental quenching efficiency between z = 1.6 and z = 0.9

Julie B. Nantais, Adam Muzzin, Remco F. J. van der Burg +7

We analyse the evolution of environmental quenching efficiency, the fraction of quenched cluster galaxies that would be star-forming if they were in the field, as a function of red…
