Statistical study of dust properties in LMC molecular clouds [PDF]
The objective of this paper is to construct a catalog providing the dust properties and the star formation efficiency (SFE) of the molecular clouds in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).

AN IMPRINT OF MOLECULAR CLOUD MAGNETIZATION IN THE MORPHOLOGY OF THE DUST POLARIZED EMISSION [PDF]
We describe a morphological imprint of magnetization found when considering the relative orientation of the magnetic field direction with respect to the density structures in simulated turbulent molecular clouds.

Molecules in G1.6-0.025 - 'Hot' Chemistry in the Absence of Star Formation at the Periphery of the Galactic Center Region [PDF]
We present molecular line mapping of the Giant Molecular Cloud G1.6-0.025, which is located at the high longitude end of the Central Molecular Zone of our Galaxy.

GAS KINEMATICS ON GIANT MOLECULAR CLOUD SCALES IN M51 WITH PAWS: CLOUD STABILIZATION THROUGH DYNAMICAL PRESSURE [PDF]
We use the high spatial and spectral resolution of the PAWS CO(1–0) survey of the inner 9 kpc of the iconic spiral galaxy M51 to examine the effects of gas streaming motions on the star-forming properties of individual giant molecular clouds (GMCs).

ALMA Observations of a Quiescent Molecular Cloud in the Large Magellanic Cloud
We present high-resolution (sub-parsec) observations of a giant molecular cloud in the nearest star-forming galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud. ALMA Band 6 observations trace the bulk of the molecular gas in $^{12}$CO(2-1) and high column density regions

The W51 Giant Molecular Cloud [PDF]
We present 45"-47" angular resolution maps at 50" sampling of the 12CO and 13CO J=1-0 emission toward a 1.39 deg x 1.33 deg region in the W51 HII region complex. These data permit the spatial and kinematic separation of several spectral features observed

Molecular cloud evolution – V. Cloud destruction by stellar feedback [PDF]
We present a numerical study of the evolution of molecular clouds, from their formation by converging flows in the warm ISM, to their destruction by the ionizing feedback of the massive stars they form. We improve with respect to our previous simulations

Hydroxyl as a Tracer of H2 in the Envelope of MBM40
We observed 51 positions in the OH 1667 MHz main line transitions in the translucent, high latitude cloud MBM40. We detected OH emission in 8 out of 8 positions in the molecular core of the cloud and 24 out of 43 in the surrounding, lower extinction ...

Cluster-formation in the Rosette molecular cloud at the junctions of filaments [PDF]
For many years feedback processes generated by OB-stars in molecular clouds, including expanding ionization fronts, stellar winds, or UV-radiation, have been proposed to trigger subsequent star formation.

Discovery Of A Molecular Outflow in the Haro 6-10 Star-Forming Region [PDF]
We present high sensitivity 12CO and 13CO (1-0) molecular line maps covering the full extent of the parsec scale Haro~6-10 Herbig-Haro (HH) flow. We report the discovery of a molecular CO outflow along the axis of parsec-scale HH flow. Previous molecular
