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…

SOFIA FEEDBACK Survey: The Eagle Nebula in [C II] and Molecular Lines

Ramsey L. Karim, Marc W. Pound, Alexander G. G. M. Tielens +15

We characterize the physical conditions and energy budget of the M16 H II region using SOFIA FEEDBACK observations of the [C II] 158 m line. The O stars in the $\sim 10^{4}~{\rm…

Melnick 39 is a very massive intermediate-period colliding-wind binary

A. M. T. Pollock, P. A. Crowther, J. M. Bestenlehner +2

Individually identified binary systems of very massive stars define fixed points on possible evolutionary pathways that begin with extreme star formation and end in either coalesce…

The Tarantula -- Revealed by X-rays (T-ReX)

Leisa K. Townsley, Patrick S. Broos, Matthew S. Povich

The Tarantula Nebula (30 Doradus) is the most important star-forming complex in the Local Group, offering a microscope on starburst astrophysics. At its heart lies the exceptionall…

Latest Evolution of the X-Ray Remnant of SN 1987A: Beyond the Inner Ring

Aravind P. Ravi, Sangwook Park, Svetozar A. Zhekov +5

Based on our Chandra imaging-spectroscopic observations, we present the latest evolution of the X-ray remnant of SN 1987A. Recent changes in the electron temperatures and volume em…

X-ray properties of early-type stars in the Tarantula Nebula from T-ReX

Paul A Crowther, Patrick S Broos, Leisa K Townsley +3

We reassess the historical relation for early-type stars from a comparison between T-ReX, the Chandra ACIS X-ray survey of the Tarantula Nebula in the LMC, and cont…
