A newly-discovered young massive star cluster at the end of the Galactic Bar
Ben Davies, Diego de la Fuente, Francisco Najarro +4
We present a near-infrared study of the candidate star cluster Mercer 81, located at the centre of the G338.4+0.1 HII region, and close to the TeV gamma-ray source HESS 1640-465. U…
Infrared Diffuse Interstellar Bands in the Galactic Centre Region
T. R. Geballe, F. Najarro, D. F. Figer +2
The spectrum of any star viewed through a sufficient quantity of diffuse interstellar material reveals a number of absorption features collectively called diffuse interstellar band…
The G305 star-forming complex: the central star clusters Danks 1 and Danks 2
Ben Davies, J. S. Clark, Christine Trombley +7
The G305 HII complex (G305.4+0.1) is one of the most massive star forming structures yet identified within the Galaxy. It is host to many massive stars at all stages of formation a…
Nuclear Star-Forming Ring of the Milky Way: Simulations
Sungsoo S. Kim, Takayuki R. Saitoh, Myoungwon Jeon +3
We present hydrodynamic simulations of gas clouds in the central kpc region of the Milky Way that is modeled with a three-dimensional bar potential. Our simulations consider realis…
Massive stars in the Cl 1813-178 Cluster. An episode of massive star formation in the W33 complex
Maria Messineo, Ben Davies, Donald F. Figer +5
Young massive (M >10^4 Msun) stellar clusters are a good laboratory to study the evolution of massive stars. Only a dozen of such clusters are known in the Galaxy. Here we report a…
