The Molecular Cloud Lifecycle [PDF]
Space Science Reviews, 2020 AbstractGiant molecular clouds (GMCs) and their stellar offspring are the building blocks of galaxies. The physical characteristics of GMCs and their evolution are tightly connected to galaxy evolution. The macroscopic properties of the interstellar medium propagate into the properties of GMCs condensing out of it, with correlations between e.g.

A Mesofractal Model of Interstellar Cloudiness
Universe, 2022 The interstellar medium (ISM), serving as a background for the propagation of cosmic rays (CRs) and other information carriers, has a complex ragged structure.

Photometry and kinematics of extragalactic star-forming complexes
Open Astronomy, 2022 We investigate spectral and photometric properties of extragalactic star-forming complexes (SFCs). The SFCs were selected in 17 nearby galaxies of a spiral or irregular type, having inclinations less than 45° and distances less than 15 Mpc.

12CO (3–2) High-Resolution Survey (COHRS) of the Galactic Plane: Complete Data Release
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2022 We present the full data release of the ^12 CO (3–2) High-Resolution Survey (COHRS), which has mapped the inner Galactic plane over the range of 9.°5 ≤ l ≤ 62.°3 and ∣ b ∣ ≤ 0.°5.

Molecular line signatures of cloud–cloud collisions [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 ABSTRACT Collisions between interstellar gas clouds are potentially an important mechanism for triggering star formation. This is because they are able to rapidly generate large masses of dense gas. Observationally, cloud collisions are often identified in position–velocity (PV) space through bridging features between intensity peaks ...

CO TO H2 RATIO OF INTERSTELLAR MOLECULAR CLOUDS IN THE DIRECTIONS OF EARLY TYPE STARS [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2004 We present measurements of interstellar CO absorption lines in the spectra of 7 early-type stars that were observed with the FUSE(Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer).

The Molecular Clouds in a Section of the Third Galactic Quadrant: Cloud Catalog
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We present results of cloud catalogs of ^12 CO, ^13 CO, and C ^18 O ( J = 1–0) in a section of the third Galactic quadrant over (195° < l < 220°, ∣ b ∣ < 5°) from the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting project.
