Abstract: Young massive clusters (YMCs) are recently formed astronomical objects with unusually high star formation rates. We propose the collision of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) as a likely formation mechanism of YMCs, consistent with the YMC… read more here.

Abstract: We analyse 850 μm continuum observations of eight massive X-ray detected galaxy clusters at z ∼ 0.8–1.6 taken with SCUBA-2 on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. We find an average overdensity of 850 μm-selected sources… read more here.
