We present spatially resolved Spitzer Space Telescope imaging of the supergiant shell region of the M81 group dwarf galaxy IC 2574 obtained as part of the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey. This region harbors one of the best nearby examples of a kinematically distinct H I shell, with an associated remnant stellar cluster; the shell is initiating sequential star formation as it interacts with the surrounding interstellar medium. ...

... We present the results of an interferometric and single-dish study of G24.78+0.08, a region associated with high-mass star formation. ... We suggest that the embedded stars might be too young to have affected the surrounding molecular cloud significantly on a large scale. ... We assess that the (proto)stellar cluster lies at the center of a molecular clump with diameter of ~2 pc: to a good approximation this may be described as a spherically symmetric clump with density profile of the type n~R^(-1.8...

... Most stars form in clusters, so the simple picture of star formation needs to incorporate the impact that young stars have on their environments, and each other. One region we study is NGC 1333, shown to the left as seen by the Spitzer Space Telescope. This is a тАЬproto-typicalтАЭ star-forming region located тАЬonlyтАЭ 1000 light years away in the direction of the constellation Perseus. ... Copyright 2015 Adele Plunkett. ...

Recent molecular observations indicate supersonic cloud-cloud collision is one of the important modes of O star formation. The O star formation regions studied so far include super star clusters (Westerlund2, NGC3603, RCW38 etc.), mini-starbursts (NGC6334, NGC6357 etc.) HII regions (M42/43, M20 etc.), and Spitzer bubbles (RCW120 etc.) ... Since the collision time scale is short ~10^5 yrs, O star formation is a rapid process with a mass accretion rate higher than 10^-4Mo/yr. ...

... The large field size of UIT is ideal for studies of globular clusters. ... Very metal poor clusters are conducive for the formation of very hot horizontal branch stars which radiate most of that energy in the UV part of the spectrum. ... M31 is the nearest large spiral galaxy to us. ... These are small dwarf galaxies and NGC 205 is a bit unusual because it still has retained some gas for star formation despite its low mass. M33 is an actively star forming spiral galaxy in the local group. ...
