In the past twenty years, the reconnaissance of 12CO and 13CO emission in the Milky Way
by single-dish millimeter-wave telescopes has expanded our view and understanding of …

Recent studies of the nearest star-forming clouds of the Galaxy at submillimeter wavelengths
with the Herschel Space Observatory have provided us with unprecedented images of the …

We present and discuss the results of the Herschel Gould Belt survey (HGBS) observations
in an~ 11 deg 2 area of the Aquila molecular cloud complex at d~ 260 pc, imaged with the …

We present first results from the Herschel Gould Belt survey for the B211/L1495 region in the
Taurus molecular cloud. Thanks to their high sensitivity and dynamic range, the Herschel …

We summarize the first results from the Gould Belt Survey, obtained toward the Aquila rift
and Polaris Flare regions during the science demonstration phase of Herschel. Our 70–500 …

Star formation lies at the center of a web of processes that drive cosmic evolution:
generation of radiant energy, synthesis of elements, formation of planets, and development …

The fraction of hydrogen ionizing photons escaping from galaxies into the intergalactic
medium is a critical ingredient in the theory of reionization. We use two zoomed-in, high …

Context. Molecular filaments have received special attention recently thanks to new
observational results on their properties. In particular, our early analysis of filament …

We provide a first look at the results of the Herschel Gould Belt survey toward the IC 5146
molecular cloud and present a preliminary analysis of the filamentary structure in this region …

We study the star formation efficiency (SFE) in simulations and observations of turbulent,
magnetized, molecular clouds. We find that the probability density functions (PDFs) of the …
