Fast and inefficient star formation due to short-lived molecular clouds and rapid feedback. [PDF]
Nature, 2019 The physics of star formation and the deposition of mass, momentum and energy into the interstellar medium by massive stars (‘feedback’) are the main uncertainties in modern cosmological simulations of galaxy formation and evolution1,2.

The Evolution of the IR Luminosity Function and Dust-obscured Star Formation over the Past 13 Billion Years [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2021 We present the first results from the Mapping Obscuration to Reionization with ALMA (MORA) survey, the largest Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) blank-field contiguous survey to date (184 arcmin2) and the only at 2 mm to search for ...

A compendium of distances to molecular clouds in the Star Formation Handbook [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 Accurate distances to local molecular clouds are critical for understanding the star and planet formation process, yet distance measurements are often obtained inhomogeneously on a cloud-by-cloud basis.

The effect of the metallicity-specific star formation history on double compact object mergers [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 We investigate the impact of uncertainty in the metallicity-specific star formation rate over cosmic time on predictions of the rates and masses of double compact object mergers observable through gravitational waves.

How to Measure Galaxy Star Formation Histories. II. Nonparametric Models [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 Nonparametric star formation histories (SFHs) have long promised to be the “gold standard” for galaxy spectral energy distribution (SED) modeling as they are flexible enough to describe the full diversity of SFH shapes, whereas parametric models rule out
