Star formation in a high-pressure environment: An SMA view of the Galactic centre dust ridge

D. L. Walker, S. N. Longmore, Q. Zhang +14

The star formation rate in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is an order of magnitude lower than predicted according to star formation relations that have been calibrated in the dis…

The Survey of Water and Ammonia in the Galactic Center (SWAG): Molecular Cloud Evolution in the Central Molecular Zone

Nico Krieger, Jürgen Ott, Henrik Beuther +21

The Survey of Water and Ammonia in the Galactic Center (SWAG) covers the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of the Milky Way at frequencies between 21.2 and 25.4 GHz obtained at the Aust…

Cloud Scale ISM Structure and Star Formation in M51

Adam K. Leroy, Eva Schinnerer, Annie Hughes +17

We compare the structure of molecular gas at pc resolution to the ability of gas to form stars across the disk of the spiral galaxy M51. We break the PAWS survey into pc…

The difference in metallicity distribution functions of halo stars and globular clusters as a function of galaxy type: A tracer of globular cluster formation and evolution

Henny J. G. L. M. Lamers, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Nate Bastian +3

Observations of globular clusters (GCs) and field stars in the halos of the giant elliptical galaxy Cen A and the spiral galaxy M31 show a large range of cluster-to-star number rat…

A tight relation between the age distributions of stellar clusters and the properties of the interstellar medium in the host galaxy

Meghan Miholics, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Alison Sills

The age distributions of stellar cluster populations have long been proposed to probe the recent formation history of the host galaxy. However, progress is hampered by the limited…

Thermal Feedback in the high-mass star and cluster forming region W51

Adam Ginsburg, Ciriaco Goddi, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +11

High-mass stars have generally been assumed to accrete most of their mass while already contracted onto the main sequence, but this hypothesis has not been observationally tested.…
