סמינר באסטרונומיה ובאסטרופיזיקה: Starbursts in 3-D: Molecules and Ions in Embedded Star Clusters

Abstract:

With the SMA, ALMA, and TEXES we have observed the HII regions of young star clusters and the molecular clouds in which they are embedded with 1, 5 km/sec resolution. Combining velocity and spatial maps creates 3 dimensional pictures of the ionized and molecular gas. We have found infalling molecular streams, outflowing ions, and narrow interaction zones between them. The star formation in these regions is hot, dusty, and extremely efficient.
