... 640W A survey of ultracompact (UC) Hii regions has been carried out by searching for 6.669-GHz methanol maser emission from a sample of 535 IRAS-selected candidates. A total of 201 candidates exhibit methanol emission. These sources have been used, in conjunction with previously identified UC Hii regions, to provide a base for further studies of such regions. ... Methanol maser and/or radio continuum emission is found in 364 cases towards IRAS-selected regions. ...

We derive the distribution of the synchrotron spectral index across NGC 6946 and investigate the correlation between the radio continuum (synchrotron) and far-infrared (FIR) emission using the KINGFISH Herschel-PACS and SPIRE data. The radio-FIR correlation is studied as a function of star formation rate, magnetic field strength, radiation field strength, and the total gas surface density. ... The synchrotron-FIR correlation suggests a coupling between the magnetic field and the gas density. ...

... This is the truly fun part, observing molecular and atomic gas in star-forming regions with a variety of telescopes. Depending on the temperature and density of the gas, different observations are necessary to study the components of star-forming regions. Because stars form in cool gaseous regions, I most often use radio and sub-mm observations, but I also look for opportunities to make complementary observations using infrared and optical telescopes. ...
