Investigation into Triggered Star Formation by Radiative Driven Implosion [PDF]
When massive stars form, they emit strong, hydrogen ionising radiation fields into their molecular cloud environment, forming HII regions. This is believed to be capable of inducing effects which can trigger further star formation through a process known

Molecular Gastronomy: A Food Fad or an Interface for Science-based Cooking?
A review is given over the field of molecular gastronomy and its relation to science and cooking. We begin with a brief history of the field of molecular gastronomy, the definition of the term itself, and the current controversy surrounding this term. We

A study of X-ray point sources in Heiles Clouds 1 and 2
Star formation takes place in the coldest parts of molecular clouds, beginning in the densest, collapsing regions of filaments. As pre-main sequence stars are luminous X-ray emitters, X-ray point sources can serve as effective tracers of YSOs.
