Stars form within molecular clouds but our understanding of this fundamental process
remains hampered by the complexity of the physics that drives their evolution. We review our …

We present a review of spatially resolved giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in nearby galaxies,
aiming at providing a template of GMC properties, which may be extrapolated to distant …

We use the IRAM HERACLES survey to study CO emission from 33 nearby spiral galaxies
down to very low intensities. Using 21 cm line atomic hydrogen (H i) data, mostly from …

We present a theoretical framework in which bound stellar clusters arise naturally at the high-
density end of the hierarchy of the interstellar medium (ISM). Due to short free-fall times …

We compare the properties of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in M51 identified by the
Plateau de Bure Interferometer Whirlpool Arcsecond Survey with GMCs identified in wide …

We investigate how the dynamical state of molecular clouds relates to host galaxy
environment and how this impacts the star formation efficiency (SFE) in the Milky Way and …

Abstract The Wang–Silk approximation, Q− 1≈ Q− 1stars+ Q− 1gas, is frequently used for
estimating the effective Q parameter in two-component discs of stars and gas. Here we …

Abstract The Magellanic Mopra Assessment (MAGMA) is a high angular resolution 12CO (J=
1→ 0) mapping survey of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in the Large Magellanic Cloud …

The interstellar medium (ISM) is governed by supersonic turbulence on a range of scales.
We use this simple fact to develop a rigorous excursion-set model for the formation, structure …
