From molecules to Young Stellar Clusters: the star formation cycle across the M33 disk

Edvige Corbelli, Jonathan Brain, Rino Bandiera +8

To shed light on the time evolution of local star formation episodes in M33, we study the association between 566 Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs), identified through the CO (J=2-1) I…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Structural and dynamical properties of the young cluster Chamaeleon I

G. G. Sacco, L. Spina, S. Randich +44

The young (~2 Myr) cluster Chamaeleon I is one of the closest laboratories to study the early stages of star cluster dynamics in a low-density environment. We studied its structura…

State-to-state vibrational kinetics of H and H in a post-shock cooling gas with primordial composition

C. M. Coppola, G. Mizzi, D. Bruno +4

The radiative cooling of shocked gas with primordial chemical composition is an important process relevant to the formation of the first stars and structures, as well as taking pla…

Kepler observations of A-F pre-main sequence stars in Upper Scorpius: Discovery of six new ~Scuti and one ~Doradus stars

V. Ripepi, L. Balona, G. Catanzaro +3

We present light curves and periodograms for 27 stars in the young Upper Scorpius association (age=\,Myr) obtained with the Kepler spacecraft. This association is only th…

Role of the H channel in the primordial star formation under strong radiation field and the critical intensity for the supermassive star formation

Kazuyuki Sugimura, Carla M. Coppola, Kazuyuki Omukai +2

We investigate the role of the H_2^+ channel on H_2 molecule formation during the collapse of primordial gas clouds immersed in strong radiation fields which are assumed to have th…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: chemical signatures of rocky accretion in a young solar-type star

L. Spina, F. Palla, S. Randich +23

It is well known that newly formed planetary systems undergo processes of orbital reconfiguration and planetary migration. As a result, planets or protoplanetary objects may accret…
