The goal is to bring together two communitities: the one working on star formation (mostly galactic) and the one working on the formation of young massive clusters (mostly extra-galactic). We will link galactic with extra-galactic work, optical/NIR techniques with sub-mm/mm/radio ones, the formation of stars with the one of massive star clusters - observations and theory. ...

... Proposal Type: General Category: Observation Category: Total Time Requested: Minimum Useful Time: Prop osal Title: ABSTRACT: Regular Pulsars FRB 16 Hours ALFA monitoring observations of FRB130628 Recent Arecibo observations of FRB121102 have discovered that it repeats and opened the question of whether all FRBs can be observed to repeat given sufficient sensitivity and observing time. Repeat bursts are a powerful clue because they rule out cataclysmic progenitor models. ...
