The 30 Doradus region in the Large Magellanic Cloud is one of the most outstanding star forming regions of the Local Group and a primary target to study star formation in an environment of low metallicity. In order to obtain a more complete…

We present Very Large Array C, X, and Q-band continuum observations, as well as 1.3 mm continuum and CO(2-1) observations with the Submillimeter Array toward the high-mass protostellar candidate ISOSS J23053+5953 SMM2. Compact cm continuum…

A new molecular hydrogen cloud is found in the sub-damped Ly-alpha absorber [log N(HI)=19.88+/-0.05] at the redshift z=1.15 toward the bright quasar HE0515-4414 (zem = 1.71). More than 30 absorption features in the Lyman band system of H2…

A longstanding prediction in interstellar theory posits that significant quantities of molecular gas, crucial for star formation, may be undetected due to being ``dark" in commonly used molecular gas tracers, such as carbon monoxide. We…

We report the observational findings of the Sh2-112 H{\sc ii} region by using the multiwavelength data analysis ranging from optical to radio wavelengths. This region is powered by a massive O8V-type star BD +45 3216. The surface density…

The radiative feedback of massive stars on molecular clouds creates pillars, globules and other features at the interface between the HII region and molecular cloud. We present here Herschel observations between 70 and 500 micron of the…

We present a multi-wavelength study of the filamentary cloud G47 (d $\sim$4.44 kpc), which hosts the mid-infrared bubbles N98, B1, and B2. The SMGPS 1.3 GHz continuum map detects ionized emission toward all the bubbles, marking the first…

We report molecular line and dust continuum observations toward the high-mass star forming region G331.5-0.1, one of the most luminous regions of massive star-formation in the Milky Way, located at the tangent region of the Norma spiral…

Recent 1.2-mm continuum observations have shown the giant HII region NGC3576 to be embedded in the centre of an extended filamentary dust-cloud. The bulk of the filament away from the HII region contains a number of clumps seen only at…

Using Spitzer Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory data, we identify YSOs in the Rosette Molecular Cloud (RMC). By being able to select cluster members and classify them into YSO types, we are able to track the progression of star…

We present an analysis of multi-wavelength observations from various datasets and Galactic plane surveys to study the star formation process in the W42 complex. A bipolar appearance of W42 complex is evident due to the ionizing feedback…

We present an analysis of multi-wavelength observations of an area of 0.27 deg x 0.27 deg around the Galactic HII region G18.88-0.49, which is powered by an O-type star (age ~10^5 years). The Herschel column density map reveals a shell-like…

There is growing evidence that high-mass star formation (HMSF) is a multiscale, dynamical process in molecular clouds, where filaments transport gas material between larger and smaller scales. We analyze here multiscale gas dynamics in an…
