Structure and Large-Scale Kinematics of Young Stellar Populations in the NGC 6357 and NGC 6334 Giant Molecular Cloud Complex
Matthew S. Povich, Leisa K. Townsley, Patrick S. Broos +6
We map the three-dimensional structure and large-scale kinematics of the young stellar populations in the G352 giant molecular cloud (GMC) complex. In radio and infrared images, G3…

Fundamental Parameters for Central Stars of 103 Infrared Bowshock Nebulae
Nikhil Patten, Henry A. Kobulnicky, Matthew S. Povich +16
Stellar bowshock nebulae are arcuate shock fronts formed by the interaction of radiation-driven stellar winds and the relative motion of the ambient interstellar material. Stellar…

The Milky Way Project MOBStIRS: Parametrizing Infrared Stellar-Wind Bow Shock Morphologies with Citizen Science
Angelica S. Whisnant, Matthew S. Povich, Nikhil Patten +1
Mass-loss influences stellar evolution, especially for massive stars with strong winds. Stellar wind bow shock nebulae driven by Galactic OB stars can be used to measure mass-loss…
