Towards a multi-tracer timeline of star formation in the LMC -- II. The formation and destruction of molecular clouds

Jacob L. Ward, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Mélanie Chevance +2

The time-scales associated with various stages of the star formation process represent major unknowns in our understanding of galactic evolution, as well as of star and planet form…

ALMA Observations of Molecular Complexity in the Large Magellanic Cloud: The N105 Star-Forming Region

Marta Sewiło, Martin Cordiner, Steven B. Charnley +17

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the nearest laboratory for detailed studies on the formation and survival of complex organic molecules (COMs), including biologically important…

On the duration of the embedded phase of star formation

Jaeyeon Kim, Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +23

Feedback from massive stars plays a key role in molecular cloud evolution. After the onset of star formation, the young stellar population is exposed by photoionization, winds, sup…

Towards a multi-tracer timeline of star formation in the LMC -- I.\ Deriving the lifetimes of H\,{\sc i} clouds

Jacob L. Ward, Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +3

The time-scales associated with the various stages of the star formation process remain poorly constrained. This includes the earliest phases of star formation, during which molecu…

The Physics of Star Cluster Formation and Evolution

Martin G. H. Krause, Stella S. R. Offner, Corinne Charbonnel +8

Star clusters form in dense, hierarchically collapsing gas clouds. Bulk kinetic energy is transformed to turbulence with stars forming from cores fed by filaments. In the most comp…

Not all stars form in clusters -- -DR2 uncovers the origin of OB associations

Jacob L. Ward, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Hans-Walter Rix

Historically, it has often been asserted that most stars form in compact clusters. In this scenario, present-day gravitationally-unbound OB associations are the result of the expan…
