DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201731833
Abstract: Context Previous attempts at segmenting molecular line maps of molecular clouds have focused on using position-position-velocity data cubes of a single molecular line to separate the spatial components of the cloud. In contrast, wide field… read more here.

DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202038955
Abstract: Tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs) are gravitationally bound condensations of gas and stars formed during galaxy interactions. Here we present multi-configuration ALMA observations of J1023+1952, a TDG in the interacting system Arp 94, where we resolve… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad1346
Abstract: We present the results of a set of radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations of turbulent molecular clouds in which we vary the initial strength of the magnetic field within a range (1 ≲ μ ≲ 5) consistent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad1430
Abstract: We use young clusters and giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in the galaxies M33 and M31 to constrain temporal and spatial scales in the star formation process. In M33, we compare the PHATTER catalogue of 1214… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/sty3107
Abstract: We present a 1.1~mm census of dense cores in the Mon~R2 Giant Molecular Cloud with the AzTEC instrument on the Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT). We detect 295 cores (209 starless, and 86 with protostars) in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stz813
Abstract: Giant molecular clouds (GMCs) are believed to affect the biospheres of planets as their host star passes through them. We simulate the trajectories of stars and GMCs in the Galaxy and determine how often stars… read more here.
