We report the discovery by XMM-Newton and Chandra of a hard extended X-ray source (XMM J174540-2904.5) associated with a compact non-thermal radio filament (the Sgr A-E `wisp'=1LC 359.888-0.086= G359.88-0.07), which is located within ~4…

The VLA and the BIMA array were used to obtain high resolution (10-20") observations of C+, traced by the C91a recombination line at 8.6 GHz, and the dense molecular gas, traced by HCN and HCO+(1-0), of the photon dominated region (PDR)…

The soft X-ray background shows a general enhancement toward the inner region of the Galaxy. But whether this enhancement is a local feature (e.g., a superbubble within a distance of <= 200 pc) and/or a phenomenon related to energetic…

The physical properties, evolution, and fragmentation of massive dense cores (MDCs, $\sim$ 0.1 pc) are fundamental pieces in our understanding of high-mass star formation. We aim to characterize the temperature, velocity dispersion, and…

Using the ALMA archival data of both CO(6--5) line and 689 GHz continuum emission towards the archetypical Seyfert galaxy, NGC 1068, we identified a distinct continuum peak separated by 14 pc from the nuclear radio component S1 in…

We present high-resolution radio continuum observations of the nascent starburst in the metal-poor galaxy SBS 0335-052. These radio data were taken with the Very Large Array and include observations at 0.7cm, 1.3cm, 2cm, 3.6cm, and 6cm.…

We report new HST COS and STIS spectroscopy of a star-forming region (~100 solar masses/year) in the center of the X-ray cluster RXJ1532.9+3021 (z=0.362), to follow-up the CLASH team discovery of luminous UV filaments and knots in the…

We report results from a deep search for redshifted HI 21cm absorption from eight damped Lyman-$\alpha$ absorbers (DLAs) detected in our earlier optical survey for DLAs towards radio-loud quasars. HI 21cm absorption was detected from the $z…

We present a new determination of the star-forming main sequence (MS), obtained through stacking 100k K-band-selected galaxies in the far-infrared (FIR) Herschel and James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) imaging. By fitting the dust emission…

The early stages of the Epoch of Reionization, probed by the 21 cm line, are sensitive to the detailed properties and formation histories of the first galaxies. We use 21cmFAST and a simple, self-consistent galaxy model to examine the…

We present large-field (4.25~$\times$~3.75 deg$^2$) mapping observations toward the Galactic region centered at $l = 150\arcdeg, b = 3.5\arcdeg$ in the $J = 1-0$ emission line of CO isotopologues ($^{12}$CO, $^{13}$CO, and C$^{18}$O), using…

We report the detection of HI 21 cm absorption from the $z=2.289$ damped Lyman-$\alpha$ system (DLA) towards TXS 0311+430, with the Green Bank Telescope. The 21 cm absorption has a velocity spread (between nulls) of $\sim 110$ km s$^{-1}$…

Context: Molecular clouds are the prime locations of star formation. These clouds contain filamentary structures and cores which are crucial in the formation of young stars. Aims: In this work, we aim to quantify the physical properties of…

We observed the W51 high-mass star-forming complex with ALMA's longest-baseline configurations, achieving an angular resolution of $\sim$20 milliarcseconds, corresponding to a linear resolution of $\sim$100 au at $D_{\mathrm{W51}}=5.4$ kpc.…

We searched for 21-cm absorption associated with the z_abs = 1.3647 absorption system toward PKS 0237-233 using the GMRT. A high quality UVES spectrum shows that C I and C I* are detected at this redshift together with C II*, Mg I, Mg II,…

HDF850.1 is the brightest submillimeter galaxy (SMG) in the Hubble Deep Field. It is known as a heavily dust-obscured star-forming galaxy embedded in an overdense environment at $z = 5.18$. With nine-band NIRCam images at 0.8-5.0 $\mu$m…

The expansion of Galactic HII regions can trigger the formation of a new generation of stars. However, little is know about the physical conditions that prevail in these regions. We study the physical conditions that prevail in specific…

Hub-filament systems (HFSs) are potential sites of massive star formation (MSF). To understand the role of filaments in MSF and the origin of HFSs, we conducted a multi-scale and multi-wavelength observational investigation of the molecular…

DR21(OH) is a pc-scale massive, 7000 Msun clump hosting three massive dense cores (MDCs) at an early stage of their evolution. We present a high angular-resolution mosaic, covering 70" by 100", with the IRAM PdBI at 3 mm to trace the dust…
