Understanding the formation of stars in galaxies is central to much of modern astrophysics.
However, a quantitative prediction of the star formation rate and the initial distribution of …

Spectroscopic analyses of hydrogen-rich WN 5–6 stars within the young star clusters NGC
3603 and R136 are presented, using archival Hubble Space Telescope and Very Large …

We use 3D hydrodynamical models to investigate the effects of massive star feedback from
winds and supernovae on inhomogeneous molecular material left over from the formation of …

A review of the properties of the Tarantula Nebula (30 Doradus) in the Large Magellanic
Cloud is presented, primarily from the perspective of its massive star content. The proximity …

We present the first high spatial resolution X-ray images of two high-mass star forming
regions, the Omega Nebula (M17) and the Rosette Nebula (NGC 2237–2246), obtained with …

Abstract The Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) is our richest nearby laboratory in which to study
feedback through ultraviolet radiation and stellar winds from very massive stars during the …

We study the initial mass function (IMF) of one of the most massive Galactic star-forming
regions NGC 3603 to answer a fundamental question in current astrophysics: is the IMF …

We use hydrodynamical models of the wind-collision region in the archetype colliding-wind
system WR 140 to determine the spatial and spectral distributions of the radio, X-ray, and γ …

The major programme for observing young, non-recycled pulsars with the Parkes telescope
has transitioned from a narrow-band system to an ultra-wide-band system capable of …

Star clusters larger than∼ 103 M⊙ contain multiple hot stars that launch fast stellar winds.
The integrated kinetic energy carried by these winds is comparable to that delivered by …
