Hypercompact HII regions (HC) are regions of ionized gas associated with the early stages of high-mass star formation. With the aim of better understanding their characteristics, we studied five candidate HC HII regions. Here, we present…

The slow and dense wind from a symbiotic red giant can be significantly deflected toward the orbital plane by the gravitational pull of the companion star. In such an environment, the ionizing radiation from the companion creates a highly…

We use a suite of hydrodynamics simulations of the interstellar medium (ISM) within a galactic disk, which include radiative transfer, a non-equilibrium model of molecular hydrogen, and a realistic model for star formation and feedback, to…

We present a spatially-resolved HII region study of the gas-phase metallicity, ionization parameter, and ISM pressure maps of 6 local star-forming and face-on spiral galaxies from the TYPHOON program. Self-consistent metallicity, ionization…

We present a demographic analysis of integrated star formation and gas properties for a sample of galaxies representative of the overall population at z~0. This research was undertaken in order to characterise the nature of star formation…

We examine the connection between diffuse ionised gas (DIG), HII regions, and field O and B stars in the nearby spiral M101 and its dwarf companion NGC 5474 using ultra-deep H$\alpha$ narrow-band imaging and archival GALEX UV imaging. We…

We compare Far-UV, H-alpha, and optical broadband images of the nearby spiral galaxy M33, to investigate the massive stars associated with the diffuse ionized gas. The H-alpha/FUV ratio is higher in HII regions than in the DIG, possibly…

We have observed emission lines of [S IV] 10.51, H(7-6) 12.37, [Ne II] 12.81, [Ne III] 15.56, and [S III] 18.71 um in a number of extragalactic H II regions with the Spitzer Space Telescope. A previous paper presented our data and analysis…

Aims: We systematically explore a plausible subset of the parameter space involving effective temperatures and metallicities of the ionizing stellar sources, the effects of the hardening of their radiation by surrounding leaky HII regions…

We have compiled a new sample of galaxies with published catalogs of HII region coordinates. This sample, together with the former catalog of Garcia-Gomez and Athanassoula (1991) will form the basis for subsequent studies of the spiral…

We observed M51 at three frequencies, 1.4GHz (20cm), 4.9GHz (6cm) and 8.4GHz (3.6cm), with the VLA and the Effelsberg 100m telescope to obtain the highest quality radio continuum images of a nearby spiral galaxy. These radio data were…

We present a study of the line-of-sight magnetic fields in five large-diameter Galactic HII regions. Using the Faraday rotation of background polarized radio sources, as well as dust-corrected H-alpha surface brightness as a probe of…

We investigate the spatial structure and evolution of star formation and the interstellar medium (ISM) in interacting galaxies. We use an extensive suite of parsec-scale galaxy merger simulations (stellar mass ratio = 2.5:1), which employs…

We present multi-scale and multi-wavelength observations of the Galactic HII region S305, which is excited by massive O8.5V and O9.5V stars. Infrared images reveal an extended sphere-like shell (extension ~7.5 pc; at T_d = 17.5-27 K)…

Crucial progress in our understanding of star formation and feedback will depend on the ability to obtain spatially resolved spectroscopic observations of \ion{H}{ii} regions, from which reliable instantaneous measurements of their physical…

We present a multiwavelength study of star formation within the nearby M101 Group, including new deep H$\alpha$ imaging of M101 and its two companions. We perform a statistical analysis of the H$\alpha$ to FUV flux ratios in HII regions…
