Star Formation in the Northern Cloud Complex of NGC 2264
We have made continuum and spectral line observations of several outflow sources in the Mon OB1 dark cloud (NGC 2264) using the Heinrich Hertz Telescope (HHT) and ARO 12m millimeter-wave telescope. This study explores the kinematics and outflow energetics of the young stellar systems observed and assesses the impact star formation is having on the surrounding cloud environment. Our data set inc...
متن کاملMolecular cloud regulated star formation in galaxies
We describe a numerical implementation of star formation in disk galaxies, in which the conversion of cooling gas to stars in the multiphase interstellar medium is governed by the rate at which molecular clouds are formed and destroyed. In the model, clouds form from thermally unstable ambient gas and get destroyed by feedback from massive stars and thermal conduction. Feedback in the ambient p...
متن کاملMolecular Gas and Star Formation in NGC 3077
We present high resolution (∼ 2.5) CO(1-0) and CO(2-1) images of the central kiloparsec of NGC 3077 made with the Owens Valley Millimeter Array. CO emission is distributed in three major complexes which resolve into at least seven GMCs. Two complexes are associated with the central starburst. A third, more distant complex is not associated with strong star formation. The GMCs are ∼ 70 pc in siz...
متن کاملStar Formation in the ρ Ophiuchi Molecular Cloud
A review of star formation in the Rho Ophiuchi molecular complex is presented, with particular emphasis on studies of the main cloud, L1688, since 1991. Recent photometric and parallax measurements of stars in the Upper Scorpius subgroup of the Sco-Cen OB association suggest a distance for the cloud between 120 and 140 parsecs. Star formation is ongoing in the dense cores of L1688 with a median...
متن کاملNuclear star formation in NGC 6240
We have made use of archival HST BVIJH photometry to constrain the nature of the three discrete sources, A1, A2 and B1, identified in the double nucleus of NGC 6240. STARBURST99 models have been fitted to the observed colours, under the assumption, first, that these sources can be treated as star clusters (i.e. single, instantaneous episodes of star formation), and subsequently as star-forming ...
