Abstract: High-mass star forming regions are typically thought to be dominated by supersonic motions. We present combined Very Large Array and Green Bank Telescope (VLA+GBT) observations of NH3 (1,1) and (2,2) in the infrared dark cloud… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stz2096
Abstract: The discovery around the turn of the millennium of a population of very massive (M⋆ > 2 × 106 M⊙) compact stellar systems (CSS) with physical properties (radius, velocity dispersion, stellar mass etc.) that are intermediate between those of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnrasl/slx037
Abstract: We model the radiatively driven flow from IM Lup -- a large protoplanetary disc expected to be irradiated by only a weak external radiation field (at least 10$^4$ times lower than the UV field irradiating… read more here.
