The conversion of gas into stars is a fundamental process in astrophysics and cosmology.
Stars are known to form from the gravitational collapse of dense clumps in interstellar …

Using spectral line observations of HNCO, N2H+, and HNC, we investigate the kinematics of
dense gas in the central∼ 250 pc of the Galaxy. We present scouse (Semi-automated multi …

We present the Red MSX Source survey, the largest statistically selected catalog of young
massive protostars and H ii regions to date. We outline the construction of the catalog using …

Context. The spiral structure of the Milky Way is not yet well determined. The keys to
understanding this structure are to increase the number of reliable spiral tracers and to …

Context. The APEX Telescope Large Area Survey of the GALaxy (ATLASGAL) is the first
systematic survey of the inner Galactic plane in the sub-millimetre. The observations were …

By matching infrared-selected, massive young stellar objects (MYSOs) and compact H ii
regions in the Red MSX Source survey to massive clumps found in the submillimetre …

Galactic plane radio surveys play a key role in improving our understanding of a wide range
of astrophysical phenomena. Performing such a survey using the latest interferometric …

High-mass protostars (M⋆> 8 M⊙) are thought to gain the majority of their mass via short,
intense bursts of growth. This episodic accretion is thought to be facilitated by gravitationally …

Context. The APEX Telescope Large Area Survey: the GALaxy (ATLASGAL) is an unbiased
continuum survey of the inner Galactic disk at 870 μm. It covers±60° in Galactic longitude …

ABSTRACT The Green Bank Telescope (GBT) H ii Region Discovery Survey has doubled
the number of known H ii regions in the Galactic zone 343⩽ ℓ⩽ 67 with| b|⩽ 1. We detected …
