Wide-field (~8' x 8') and deep near-infrared (JHKs bands) polarization images of the Orion nebulae (IRNe) around young stellar objects (YSOs), both massive and low-mass. We found the IRNe around both IRc2 and BN to be very extensive,…

Using the Very Large Array (VLA) in the A-configuration, we have obtained a high-resolution 3.6 cm map of a hard X-ray source detected by the Chandra X-ray Observatory in a protostellar clump in Orion molecular cloud 3. Two radio continuum…

We present a composite model and radiative transfer simulations of the massive star forming core W33A MM1. The model was tailored to reproduce the complex features observed with ALMA at $\approx 0.2$ arcsec resolution in CH$_3$CN and dust…

Using Science Verification data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA), we have identified and imaged five rotational transitions (J=5-4 and J=6-5) of the three silicon monoxide isotopologues 28SiO v=0, 1, 2 and 29SiO…

Observations of distinct positions in Orion and W3 revealed ripples on the HCN(1-0), HCO^+(1-0) and CO(1-0) line profiles which can be result of emission of large number of unresolved thermal clumps in the beam that move with random…

Unresolved nuclear sources are detected by the Hubble Space Telescope in the great majority of a complete sample of 33 FR I radio galaxies belonging to the 3CR catalogue. The optical flux of these Central Compact Cores (CCC) shows a…

We investigate the nature of the point-like optical ``cores'' that have been found in the centres of the host galaxies of a majority of radio galaxies by the Hubble Space Telescope. We examine the evidence that these optical cores are…

Many low-mass stars in the Orion nebula are associated with very compact (~= 1 arcsec) emission knots, known variously as proplyds, PIGs or LV knots. Some of these knots are teardrop-shaped, with ``tails'' pointing away from the massive…

We present ALMA follow-up observations of two massive, early-stage core candidates, C1-N & C1-S, in Infrared Dark Cloud (IRDC) G028.37+00.07, which were previously identified by their N2D+(3-2) emission and show high levels of deuteration…

Strong galactic winds are ubiquitous at $z\gtrsim 1$. However, it is not well known where inside galaxies these winds are launched from. We study the cool winds ($\sim 10^4$\,K) in two spatial regions of a massive galaxy at $z=1.3$, which…

We report the first detection and high angular resolution (1.8" $\times$ 1.1") imaging of acetic acid (CH$_3$COOH) and gGg$^{\prime}$--ethylene glycol (gGg$^{\prime}$(CH$_2$OH)$_2$) towards the Orion Kleinmann--Low nebula. The observations…

New observations using narrow band imaging, long-slit spectroscopy and MERLIN observations of the nuclear region of the Seyfert galaxy NGC~4051 have been made. An edge brightened, triangular region of ionized gas extending 420 pc from the…

We mapped 12 massive protostellar candidates in the CO J=2-1 line, which in combination with Zhang et al. (2005) completes an unbiased survey of outflows for all 48 sources with l>50^o in a sample of 101 massive protostellar candidates. We…

BIMA observations of the Orion nebula discovered a giant flare from a young star previously undetected at millimeter wavelengths. The star briefly became the brightest compact object in the nebula at 86 GHz. Its flux density increased by…

We have developed an empirical and effective set of criteria, based on the 2MASS colors, to select candidate classical T Tauri stars (CTTS). This provides a useful tool to study the young stellar population in star-forming regions. Here we…

We present results from a multi-epoch Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) survey conducted as part of the DYNAMO-VLBA project, aimed at measuring the dynamical masses of young stellar systems in the Orion complex. Our observations include 19…

We have used widely spaced in time Hubble Space Telescope images to determine tangential velocities of features associated with outflows from young stars. These observations were supplemented by groundbased telescope spectroscopy and from…
