We present infrared observations of the ultra-compact H II region W3(OH) made by the FORCAST instrument aboard SOFIA and by Spitzer/IRAC. We contribute new wavelength data to the spectral energy distribution, which constrains the optical…

We investigated the high-mass star formation activity in a subregion of the Sagittarius E star-forming complex, centered at (l,b) = (358.69 deg, 0.03 deg), where infrared and radio sources trace a prominent U-shaped structure that has not…

A proto-cluster core is the most massive dark matter halo (DMH) in a given proto-cluster. To reveal the galaxy formation in core regions, we search for proto-cluster cores at $z\sim 2$ in $\sim 1.5\, \mathrm{deg}^{2}$ of the COSMOS field.…
