The interstellar delivery of carbon atoms locked into molecules might be one of the key ingredients for the emergence of life. Cyanopolyynes are carbon chains delimited at their...

Protostellar jets and outflows are key features of the star-formation process, and primary processes of the feedback of young stars on the interstellar medium. Understanding the...

Gas plays a major role in the dynamical evolution of young stellar objects (YSOs). Its interaction with the dust is the key to our understanding planet formation later on in the...

We present a ground-based, near-infrared search for lensed supernovae behind the massive cluster Abell 1689 at z=0.18, which is one of the most powerful gravitational telescopes...

We present an analysis of the region IRAS 08589-4714 with the aim of characterizing the molecular environment. We observed the ^12^CO(3-2), ^13^CO(3-2), C^18^O(3-2),...

We characterise the relation between the gas and dust content of the interstellar medium towards young stellar objects in the Orion Nebula Cluster. X-ray observations provide...

The physical structure of deeply-embedded low-mass protostars (Class 0) on scales of less than 300AU is still poorly constrained. While molecular line observations demonstrate...

We present new measurements of the dust emissivity index, {beta}, for the high-mass, star-forming OMC 2/3 filament. We combined 160-500um data from Herschel with long-wavelength...

Orion A hosts the nearest massive star factory, thus offering a unique opportunity to resolve the processes connected with the formation of both low- and high-mass stars. Here...

The objective of this work is to study in detail the temperatures of dust and gas in the photon-dominated region S140, especially around the deeply embedded infrared sources...

Adaptive optics images are used to test the hypothesis that the explosive BN/KL outflow from the Orion OMC1 cloud core was powered by the dynamical decay of a non-hierarchical...

As a continuation of a previous work, in which we found strong evidence of massive molecular outflows towards a massive star forming site, we present a new study of this region...

A fundamental part of the study of star formation is to place young stellar objects in an evolutionary sequence. Establishing a robust evolutionary classification scheme allows...

Infrared-dark clouds (IRDCs) harbor the early phases of cluster and high-mass star formation and are comprised of cold (~20K), dense (n>10^4^cm^-3^) gas. The spectral energy...

This is the revised catalogue of the AKARI North Ecliptic Pole Deep survey. The survey was carried out with the InfraRed Camera (IRC) onboard AKARI which has a comprehensive...

Revealing the fragmentation, infall, and outflow processes in the immediate environment around massive young stellar objects is crucial for understanding the formation of the...

There is currently a debate over the existence of claimed statistical anomalies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB), recently confirmed in Planck data. Recent work has...

We present the results of a study of 14 molecular outflows associated with high-mass star formation. We used the IRAM30m telescope to characterize the outflow emission in the...

The InfraRed Camera (IRC) onboard AKARI has a comprehensive wavelength coverage with 9 photometric bands at 2-24 micron. Based on the NEP-Wide survey of AKARI (which covered a...

We present a new catalogue of mid-IR sources using the AKARI NEP-Deep survey. The InfraRed Camera (IRC) onboard AKARI has a comprehensive mid-IR wavelength coverage with 9...
