The fragmentation of molecular clouds in starburst environments
Matt T. Cusack, Paul C. Clark, Simon C. O. Glover +4
A significant amount of star formation occurs and has occurred in environments unlike the solar neighbourhood. The majority of stars formed closer to the peak of the cosmic star fo…

Do stars still form in molecular gas within CO-dark dwarf galaxies?
David J. Whitworth, Rowan J. Smith, Simon C. O. Glover +6
In the Milky Way and other main-sequence galaxies, stars form exclusively in molecular gas, which is traced by CO emission. However, low metallicity dwarf galaxies are often `CO-da…

Assessing the accuracy of the star formation rate measurements by direct star count in molecular clouds
Sami Dib, Jian Wen Zhou, Sébastien Comerón +8
Star formation estimates based on the counting of YSOs is commonly applied to nearby star-forming regions in the Galaxy. With this method, the SFRs are measured using the counts of…
