We present new Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of ionised filaments in the brightest group galaxy NGC 5044. These filaments extend several kiloparsecs and have widths of $\sim$50--120 pc, with some as narrow as those in cluster cores…

The fully three dimensional governing equations in the electron magnetohydrodynamic (EMHD) regime for a plasma with inhomogeneous density is obtained. These equations in the two dimensional (2-D) limit can be cast in terms of the evolution…

Fragmentation and evolution for the molecular shells of the compact HII regions are less explored compared to their evolved counterparts. We map nine compact HII regions with a typical diameter of 0.4 pc that are surrounded by molecular…

We have carried out 1.25 pc resolution MHD simulations of the ISM, on a Cartesian grid of $0 \leq (x,y) \leq 1$ kpc size in the galactic plane and $-10 \leq z \leq 10$ kpc into the halo, thus being able to fully trace the time-dependent…
