Title: Supersonic Cloud Collision-II Authors: S. Anathpindika In this, second paper of the sequel of two papers, we present five SPH simulations of fast head-on cloud collisions and study the evolution of the ram pressure confined gas slab. Anathpindika (2008) (hereafter paper I) considered hi...

Title: The Serpens Molecular Cloud Authors: C. Eiroa, A.A. Djupvik, M.M. Casali The Serpens cloud has received considerable attention in the last years, in particular the small region known as the Serpens cloud core where a plethora of star formation related phenomena are found. This review summ...

Title: The W40 Cloud Complex Authors: Steven A. Rodney, Bo Reipurth The W40 complex is a nearby site of recent massive star formation composed of a dense molecular cloud adjacent to an HII region that contains an embedded OB star cluster. The HII region is beginning to blister out and break free from i...

Astronomers have measured the distribution of mass inside a dark filament in a molecular cloud with an amazing level of detail and to great depth. The measurement is based on a new method that looks at the scattered near-infrared light or 'cloudshine' and was made with ESO's New Technology Telescop...

Title: An Accurate Distance to High-Velocity Cloud Complex C Authors: C. Thom, J.E.G. Peek, M.E. Putman, Carl Heiles, K.M.G. Peek, R. Wilhelm (Version v2) We report an accurate distance of d = 10+/-2.5kpc to the high-velocity cloud Complex C. Using high signal-to-noise Keck/HIRES spectra of two...

Astronomers, using the unique capabilities offered by the high-resolution spectrograph UVES on ESO’s Very Large Telescope, have found a metal-rich hydrogen cloud in the distant universe. The result may help to solve the missing metal problem and provides insight on how galaxies form. "...

Dark nebulae snake across a gorgeous expanse of stars in this wide-field view toward the pronounceable constellation Ophiucus and the centre of our Milky Way Galaxy. In fact, the central S-shape seen here is well known as the Snake Nebula; located about 1.5° north-northeast of Theta Oph...
