Far ultraviolet (FUV) spectral images of the Spica H II region are first presented here for the Si II* 1533.4A and Al II 1670.8A lines and then compared with the optical Halpha image. The H alpha and Si II* images show enhanced emissions in…

[Abridged] We present Gemini-North GMOS/IFU observations of a young star cluster (cluster 10) and its environment near the centre of the dwarf irregular starburst galaxy NGC 1569. This forms part of a larger and on-going study of the…

We present JWST images of the well-known planetary nebula NGC 6720 (the Ring Nebula), covering wavelengths from 1.6$\mu$m to 25 $\mu$m. The bright shell is strongly fragmented with some 20 000 dense globules, bright in H$_2$, with a…

We present a new large-scale survey of J=3-2 12CO emission covering 4.8 square degrees around the Rosette Nebula. Approximately 2000 compact clumps are identified, with a spatially-invariant power law mass distribution index of -1.8. Most…

We present observations of CO(3-2) and $^{13}$CO(3-2) emission near the supernebula in the dwarf galaxy NGC 5253, which contains one of the best examples of a potential globular cluster in formation. The 0.3" resolution images reveal an…

We present the results of X-ray spectral analysis of the superbubble around the OB association LH9 in the H II complex N11 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Using observations from Suzaku, we have modeled the X-ray emission over the energy…

Interstellar bubbles around O stars are driven by a combination of the star's wind and ionizing radiation output. The wind contribution is uncertain because the boundary between the wind and interstellar medium is difficult to observe.…

We have observed the radio nebula surrounding the Galactic LBV candidate G79.29+0.46 with the EVLA at 6 cm. These new radio observations allow a morphological comparison between the radio emission, which traces the ionized gas component,…

N113 is an HII region located in the central part of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) with an associated molecular cloud very rich in molecular species. Most of the previously observed molecular lines cover the frequency range 85-270 GHz.…

We report the first high-resolution (sub-arcminute) large-scale mapping $^{12}$CO and $^{13}$CO observations of the molecular clouds associated with the giant outer Galaxy HII region CTB~102 (KR 1). These observations were made using a…

We present a study of the LMC compact HII region N11A using Hubble Space Telescope imaging observations which resolve N11A and reveal its unknown nebular and stellar features. The presence of a sharp ionization front extending over more…

We have detected the v=1-0 S(1) (2.1218 um) and v=2-1 S(1) (2.2477 um) lines of H_2 in the Galactic centre, in a 90 x 27 arcsec region between the northeastern boundary of the non-thermal source, Sgr A East, and the giant molecular cloud…

The recovery of cosmic ray Carbon nuclei of energy ~20-125 MeV/nuc in solar cycle #23 from 2004 to 2010 has been followed at three locations, near the Earth using ACE data and at V2 between 74-92 AU and also at V1 beyond the heliospheric…

CO, $^{13}$CO and C$^{18}$O ${\it J}$ = 3--2 observations are presented of the Ophiuchus molecular cloud. The $^{13}$CO and C$^{18}$O emission is dominated by the Oph A clump, and the Oph B1, B2, C, E, F and J regions. The optically…

We discovered a large population of previously unknown Galactic H II regions by using the Green Bank Telescope to detect their hydrogen radio recombination line emission. Since recombination lines are optically thin at 3 cm wavelength, we…

We find strong evidence for outflows originating in the dense molecular core NGC 6334 I(North): a 1000 Msol molecular core distinguished by its lack of HII regions and mid-IR emission. New observations were obtained of the SiO 2-1 and 5-4…

We present observations of 4.25 square degree area toward the North American and Pelican Nebulae in the $J = 1-0$ transitions of $^{12}$CO, $^{13}$CO, and C$^{18}$O. Three molecules show different emission area with their own distinct…

The mechanism behind the shaping of bipolar planetary nebulae is still poorly understood. Accurately tracing the molecule-rich equatorial regions of post-AGB stars can give valuable insight into the ejection mechanisms at work. We…

This paper presents [CII], [CI] and CO emission line maps of the star-forming regions N66, N25+N26, and N88 in the metal-poor Local Group dwarf galaxy SMC. The spatial and velocity structure of the large HII region N66 reveals an expanding…

Dynamical studies of superbubbles and Wolf-Rayet ring nebulae show discrepancies from the standard, adiabatic model for wind-blown bubbles. We therefore study the physical properties and kinematics of three candidate bubbles blown by single…
