PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL STRUCTURE OF HIGH MASS STAR FORMING REGIONS I.I. Zinchenko Institute of Applied Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences 46 Uljanov str., ... Basic physical properties of detected clumps and molecular abundances were derived. ... In particular, we found that in regions of high mass star formation the CS emission correlates well with the dust continuum emission and is therefore a good tracer of the total mass while the N 2 H + distribution is frequently very di#erent. ...

... April 2, 1999 . Stars of NGC 206 . ... Explanation: Nestled within the dusty arms of the large spiral galaxy Andromeda (M31), the star cluster NGC 206 is one of the largest star forming regions known in our local group of galaxies. The beautiful bright blue stars of NGC 206 betray its youth - but close, systematic studies of variable stars in and around NGC 206 will also accurately reveal its distance. ... About APOD > . ...

Star formation is often best manifested by bright H II regions.These are regions of hydrogen which have been ionized by ultraviolet photons which are emitted from massive stars (typically stars more than 20 times the mass of the Sun). ... A narrowband filter image centered on this wavelength will then readily reveal these H II regions and hence the current sites of star formation in a galaxy, The luminous blobs that can be seen here are all H II regions . ...
