Gathering dust: A galaxy-wide study of dust emission from cloud complexes in NGC 300

M. Riener, C. M. Faesi, J. Forbrich +1

We used multi-band observations by the Herschel Space Observatory to study the dust emission properties of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 300. We compiled a first catalogue of the po…

HP2 survey: III The California Molecular Cloud--A Sleeping Giant Revisited

Charles J. Lada, John A. Lewis, Marco Lombardi +1

We present new high resolution and dynamic range dust column density and temperature maps of the California Molecular Cloud derived from a combination of Planck and Herschel dust-e…

A new method to unveil embedded stellar clusters

Marco Lombardi, Charles J. Lada, Joao Alves

In this paper we present a novel method to identify and characterize stellar clusters deeply embedded in a dark molecular cloud. The method is based on measuring stellar surface de…

The shapes of column density PDFs - The importance of the last closed contour

João Alves, Marco Lombardi, Charles Lada

The probability distribution function of column density (PDF) has become the tool of choice for cloud structure analysis and star formation studies. Its simplicity is attractive, a…

X Marks the Spot: Nexus of Filaments, Cores, and Outflows in a Young Star-Forming Region

Nia Imara, Charles Lada, John Lewis +4

We present a multiwavelength investigation of a region of a nearby giant molecular cloud that is distinguished by a minimal level of star formation activity. With our new 12CO(J=2-…
