We review progress over the past decade in observations of large-scale star formation, with
a focus on the interface between extragalactic and Galactic studies. Methods of measuring …

ABSTRACT The c2d Spitzer Legacy project obtained images and photometry with both
IRAC and MIPS instruments for five large, nearby molecular clouds. Three of the clouds …

We present VLT/X-shooter observations of a sample of 36 accreting low-mass stellar and
substellar objects (YSOs) in the Lupus star-forming region, spanning a range in mass from …

Abstract We introduce the Ophiuchus DIsc Survey Employing ALMA (ODISEA), a project
aiming to study the entire population of Spitzer-selected protoplanetary discs in the …

Most directly imaged giant exoplanets are fainter than brown dwarfs with similar spectra. To
explain their relative underluminosity, unusually cloudy atmospheres have been proposed …

ABSTRACT I present a new census of the stellar population in the Chamaeleon I star-
forming region. Using optical and near-IR photometry and follow-up spectroscopy, I have …

Abstract We present near-infrared (1.0-2.4 μm) spectra confirming the youth and cool
temperatures of six brown dwarfs and low-mass stars with circumstellar disks toward the …

ABSTRACT We present 161 Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) spectra of T Tauri stars and
young brown dwarfs in the Taurus star-forming region. All of the targets were selected based …

We present a census of circumstellar disks in the Chamaeleon I star-forming region. Using
the Infrared Array Camera and the Multiband Imaging Photometer on board the Spitzer …

We present new 890 μm continuum ALMA observations of five brown dwarfs (BDs) with
infrared excess in Lupus I and III, which in combination with four previously observed BDs …
