Star formation around RCW 120, the perfect bubble

L. Deharveng, A. Zavagno, F. Schuller +3

We take advantage of the very simple morphology of RCW 120 -- a perfect bubble -- to understand the mechanisms triggering star formation around an HII region and to establish what…

Triggered star formation on the borders of the Galactic HII region RCW 82

M. Pomares, A. Zavagno, L. Deharveng +6

We are engaged in a multi-wavelength study of several Galactic HII regions that exhibit signposts of triggered star formation on their borders, and where the collect and collapse p…

Triggered massive-star formation on the borders of Galactic HII regions. IV- Star formation at the periphery of Sh2-212

L. Deharveng, B. Lefloch, S. Kurtz +4

Aims: We wish to establish whether sequential star formation is taking place at the periphery of the Galactic HII region Sh2-212. Methods: We present CO millimetre observations of…

Triggered star formation on the borders of the Galactic HII region RCW 120

Annie Zavagno, Melanie Pomares, Lise Deharveng +3

To investigate the process of star formation triggered by the expansion of an HII region, we present a multi-wavelength analysis of the Galactic HII region RCW 120 and its surround…

Triggered massive-star formation on the borders of Galactic HII regions. II. Evidence for the collect and collapse process around RCW 79

A. Zavagno, L. Deharveng, F. Comeron +4

We present SEST-SIMBA 1.2-mm continuum maps and ESO-NTT SOFI JHK images of the Galactic HII region RCW 79. The millimetre continuum data reveal the presence of massive fragments lo…
