The HII Regions' Molecular Law of Star Formation
Daniela Calzetti, Drew Lapeer, Robert C. Kennicutt +28
We combine imaging data from the HST, JWST, and ground-based millimeter facilities to investigate the correlation between star formation rate (SFR) and molecular gas at the ~100 pc…
The emerging timescale of young star clusters regulated by cluster stellar mass
Alex Pedrini, Angela Adamo, Daniela Calzetti +23
Quantifying the timescales of star cluster emergence from their natal clouds remains one of the main challenges in understanding the star formation process. These timescales are fu…
The fragmentation properties of massive star-forming regions in 30Dor-10 at 2000 au resolution
A. Traficante, M. J. Jimenez-Donaire, R. Indebetouw +9
The fragmentation properties of parsec-scales clumps play a fundamental role in shaping the dense gas condensations known as cores, the immediate progenitor of stars. The distribut…
FEAST: a NIRSpec/MOS survey of emerging young star clusters in NGC 628
Helena Faustino Vieira, Angela Adamo, Neville Shane +18
JWST can pierce through dusty molecular clouds to study the early stages of star formation, where young star clusters are actively driving stellar feedback and still emerging from…
Galaxy UV Legacy Project: Survey Description and First Insights Into NGC 4449 Recent History of Star Formation
E. Sabbi, B. Meena, P. Zeidler +18
The Galaxy UV Legacy Project (GULP) is a Cycle 28 Treasury program with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) designed to characterize resolved massive stars, OB associations, and young…
FEAST: Probing Hierarchical Star Formation with the Spatial Distributions of Young Star Clusters
Drew Lapeer, Daniela Calzetti, Kathryn Grasha +19
We apply the angular two-point correlation function (TPCF) to the spatial distribution of young star clusters (YSCs) in four nearby star forming galaxies (NGC 628, NGC 4449, M51, a…
