A newly-discovered young massive star cluster at the end of the Galactic Bar
Ben Davies, Diego de la Fuente, Francisco Najarro +4
We present a near-infrared study of the candidate star cluster Mercer 81, located at the centre of the G338.4+0.1 HII region, and close to the TeV gamma-ray source HESS 1640-465. U…
The RMS Survey: Critical Tests of Accretion Models for the Formation of Massive Stars
Ben Davies, Melvin G. Hoare, Stuart L. Lumsden +5
There is currently no accepted theoretical framework for the formation of the most massive stars, and the manner in which protostars continue to accrete and grow in mass beyond \si…
Massive stars in the Cl 1813-178 Cluster. An episode of massive star formation in the W33 complex
Maria Messineo, Ben Davies, Donald F. Figer +5
Young massive (M >10^4 Msun) stellar clusters are a good laboratory to study the evolution of massive stars. Only a dozen of such clusters are known in the Galaxy. Here we report a…
The Luminosity Functions and Timescales of MYSOs and Compact HII regions
Joseph C. Mottram, Melvin G. Hoare, Ben Davies +6
We present a determination of the luminosity functions of massive young stellar objects (MYSOs) and compact (C)HII regions within the Milky Way Galaxy using the large, well-selecte…
