This project investigates the formation and destruction of molecular clouds, which are crucial for star formation. By utilizing new tracers like ionized carbon and atomic oxygen, the project aims to understand the physical processes that govern these clouds and their impact on galaxy evolution.
The formation of stars underpins all of astrophysics, from driving the evolution of galaxies to setting the conditions for the genesis of planetary systems.
Stars form deeply embedded in the densest regions of molecular clouds (MCs), but we still know very little about how MCs are assembled and destroyed -- the two processes that ultimately set the timescale over which stars can form.
Since carbon monoxide (CO) forms up to 10 Myr after the MC forms and is easily dissociated by energetic photons,…
