PublicationSDC13 infrared dark clouds: Longitudinally collapsing filaments?
Formation of stars is now believed to be tightly linked to the dynamical evolution of interstellar filaments in which they form. In this paper we analyze the...

PublicationSmall-scale clustering of nano-dust grains in supersonic turbulence
We investigate the clustering and dynamics of nano-sized particles (nano dust) in high-resolution (1024 3) simulations of compressible isothermal hydrodynamic...

PublicationSpectroscopy of the Earth Observed as a Distant Planet
Through ground-based observations of the Earth's spectrum from California, satellite observations of clouds, and an atmospheric radiative transfer code, we have...

PublicationStellar Feedback and the Evolution of Young Embedded Star Clusters
In this contribution we present the first results of an theoretical attempt to address the question of the evacuation time-scale but also the star-formation...

PublicationStudy of the GeV to TeV morphology of the γ Cygni SNR (G 78.2+2.1) with MAGIC and Fermi-LAT. Evidence for cosmic ray escape
Context. Diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) is the most promising mechanism that accelerates Galactic cosmic rays (CRs) in the shocks of supernova remnants...

PublicationSubstellar objects in star formation regions: A deep near infrared study in the Serpens cloud
We present near infrared (J, H and Ks) observations of a 5'× 10' sample field in the Serpens Star Formation region obtained with SOFI at the NTT. These...

PublicationSuper Star Clusters Versus OB Associations
Super star clusters (M ecl > 105 M sun) are the largest stellar nurseries in our local Universe, containing hundreds of thousands to millions of young stars...

PublicationTemperature fluctuations in H II regions: Ionization by cosmic rays as a key mechanism
We present a detailed model capable of explaining quantitatively the temperature fluctuations observed in luminous, large H II regions. The model is based on...
