- Description:
- We present CO millimetre observations of this region obtained at the IRAM 30-m telescope to investigate the distribution of associated molecular material. We also use deep JHK observations obtained at the CFHT to study the stellar content of the region, and radio observations obtained at the VLA to look for the presence of an ultra-compact (UC) HII region and for maser emission.

- Description:
- To investigate the process of star formation triggered by the expansion of an HII region, we present a multi-wavelength analysis of the Galactic HII region RCW 120 and its surroundings. The collect and collapse model predicts that the layer of gas and dust accumulated between the ionization and shock fronts during the expansion of the HII region collapses and forms dense fragments, giving rise to potential sites of massive-star formation. The aim of our study is to look for such massive fragments and massive young stars on the borders of RCW 120. We mapped the RCW 120 region in the cold dust continuum emission at 1.2 mm to search for these fragments. We supplemented this study with the available near- (2MASS) and mid-IR (GLIMPSE) data to locate the IR sources observed towards this region and to analyse their properties. We then compared the observational results with the predictions of Hosokawa & Inutsuka's model (2005ApJ...623..917H; 2006ApJ...646..240H).

- Description:
- This study deals with the star formation triggered by HII regions. We wish to take advantage of the very simple morphology of RCW 120 - a perfect bubble - to understand the mechanisms triggering star formation around an HII region and to establish what kind of stars are formed there. We present 870um observations of RCW 120, obtained with the APEX-LABOCA camera. These show the distribution of cold dust, and thus of neutral material. We use Spitzer-MIPS observations at 24um and 70um to detect the young stellar objects present in this region and to estimate their evolutionary stages.

- Title:
- JHKs photometry in N159 (LMC)
- Short Name:

- Description:
- We study the Large Magellanic Cloud Papillon Nebula (N 159-5), a conspicuous High Excitation Blob (HEB) lying in the star forming complex N 159. Using JHK near-infrared photometry obtained at the ESO VLT with the ISAAC camera, we examine the stellar populations associated with the Papillon, tracing their history using stellar evolution models. Two populations are revealed: one composed of young, massive stars with an age ~3Myr, and a second consisting of older lower mass stars of age spreading between 1 and 10Gyr. We analyze the properties of those populations and discuss their significance in the context of N 159. We also estimate that if the star at the center of the Papillon is single its initial mass is ~50 solar masses and it is affected by an extinction Av~7mag.

- Title:
- K-band images of star-forming regions
- Short Name:
- J/other/PASA/26.
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present deep, wide-field, Ks-band (2.14-micron) images towards 87 southern massive star formation regions traced by methanol maser emission. Using point-spread function fitting, we generate 2.14-micron point source catalogues (PSCs) towards each of the regions. For the regions between 10{deg}<l<350{deg} and |b|<1, we match the 2.14-micron sources with the GLIMPSE point source catalogue to generate a combined 2.14- to 8.0-micron point source catalogue. We provide this data for the astronomical community to utilise in studies of the stellar content of embedded clusters.

- Short Name:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- This document describes the magnetic tape version of a catalog of 1440 O-B5 star with radial velocities accurate to within 5 km/sec, located within 3 kpc of the sun and within 10 degrees of the galactic equator. Radial velocities, luminosities and spectral classifications have been included from the literature; proper motions have been compiled for 898 of the stars.

- Kinematics and HR Diagrams of Southern Young Stars
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We investigate the spatial distribution, the space velocities and age distribution of the pre-main sequence (PMS) stars belonging to Ophiuchus, Lupus and Chamaeleon star-forming regions (SFRs), and of the young early-type star members of the Scorpius-Centaurus (Sco-Cen) OB association. These young stellar associations extend over the galactic longitude range from 280 to 360 degrees, and are at a distance interval of around 100 and 200pc. We present a compilation of PMS and early-type stars members of the investigated SFRs and OB associations. For these lists of stars we give the data used for the study of kinematic properties: positions, adopted distances, proper motions and radial velocities (whenever available), and the basic stellar data, used for the construction of Hertzsprung-Russel diagrams. All data have been taken from the literature. We also present the derived XYZ positions on the Galactic system, UVW components of the space velocities, visual extinction, and bolometric luminosity.

- Description:
- We have obtained high resolution (R=10000) K-band spectra of candidate young massive stars deeply embedded in (ultra-) compact HII regions (UCHIIs). These objects were selected from a near-infrared survey of 44 fields centered on IRAS sources with UCHII colours. Often, the near-infrared counterpart of the IRAS source is a young embedded cluster hosting massive stars. In these clusters, three types of objects are identified. The first type (38 objects) consists of "naked" OB stars whose K-band spectra are dominated by photospheric emission. We classify the K-band spectra of the OB-type cluster members using near-infrared classification criteria. A few of them have a very early (O3-O4 V) spectral type, consistent with a young age of the embedded clusters. The spectral classification provides an important constraint on the distance to the embedded cluster.

- Title:
- KMOS view of the Galactic centre. I.
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- The Galactic centre hosts a crowded, dense nuclear star cluster with a half-light radius of 4pc. Most of the stars in the Galactic centre are cool late-type stars, but there are also >=100 hot early-type stars in the central parsec of the Milky Way. These stars are only 3-8Myr old. Our knowledge of the number and distribution of early-type stars in the Galactic centre is incomplete. Only a few spectroscopic observations have been made beyond a projected distance of 0.5pc of the Galactic centre. The distribution and kinematics of early-type stars are essential to understand the formation and growth of the nuclear star cluster.
