GASTON: Galactic Star Formation with NIKA2: A new population of cold massive sources discovered

N. Peretto, A. Rigby, R. Adam +43

Understanding where and when the mass of stars is determined is one of the fundamental, mostly unsolved, questions in astronomy. Here, we present the first results of GASTON, the G…
