Using Spitzer Space Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope observations of the superbubble N51D, we have identified three young stellar objects (YSOs) in dust globules, and made the first detection of a Herbig-Haro object outside the Galaxy. The spectral energy distributions of these YSOs suggest young massive stars with disk, envelope, and outflow cavities. The interstellar conditions are used to assess whether the star formation was spontaneous or induced by external pressure.

N51D (= DEM L 192) appears at first glance as a nearly circular, 120pc diameter bubble of ionized gas around the LMC OB association LH 54. A deeper look reveals a complex web of filaments and deviations from radial expansion. Using a deep XMM-Newton
X-ray pointing centered on N51D we find that diffuse soft X-ray emitting gas fills the whole superbubble as delineated by the H-alpha filaments. Contrary to recent findings for galactic winds, the correlation between H-alpha and X-ray surface brightness is not good. The X-ray spectrum of this diffuse gas cannot be fitted with the LMC abundance pattern, but implies an overabundance of at least oxygen and neon, consistent with recent enrichment from supernovae type II. Some indications for enhanced mixing at the brightest region of the H-alpha shell and for a beginning outflow of the hot gas were also detected.
We report the discovery of small, isolated dust clouds in the Large Magellanic Cloud, which are excellent candidates for counterparts to the Bok globules observed in the Galaxy. We detect these small clouds silhoutted against diffuse H-alpha emission
, based on parallel imaging with the WFPC-2 on HST. The clouds we identify as Bok globule candidates have typical sizes of approximately one arcsecond, corresponding to about 0.25 parsec linear diameter at the distance of the LMC. We derive lower limits to the optical depth within the dark clouds, and masses assuming that the clouds have density distributions similar to Galactic Bok globules. The sizes and estimated masses for LMC globules are comparable to those estimated for Galactic globules. An extend sample of such objects would be excellent targets for high-resolution infrared and millimeter observations to study low-mass star formation in such clouds in low-metallicity environments, and where the distance is well known.
We report on initial results of our Spitzer Cycle 2 program to observe the young massive star R Mon and its associated HH 39 Herbig-Haro object in the mid-infrared. Our program used all instruments on-board Spitzer to obtain deep images with IRAC of
the HH 39 complex and of R Mon and its surroundings, a deep image of HH 39 at 24 and 70 $mu$m with MIPS, and mid-infrared spectra with the SH, LH, and LL modules of IRS. The aim of this program is to study the physical links in a young massive star between accretion disk, outflows and jets, and sh ocks in the associated HH object. Our preliminary analysis reveals that several knots of HH 39 are clearly detected in most IRAC bands. In IRAC4 (8 $mu$m), diffuse emission, probably from PAHs, appears as foreground emission covering the HH 39 emission. The HH 39 knots are detected at 24 microns, despite the fact that dust continuum emission covers the knots and shows the same structure as observed with IRAC4. The IRS spectra of HH 39 show weak evidence of [Ne II] 12.8 $mu$m and 0--0 S(1) H$_2$ 17.0 $mu$m lines. A more detailed analysis is, however, required due to the faintness of the Herbig-Haro knots. Finally, we obtained the SH and MIPS SED spectra of R Mon. A PAH emission feature at 11.3 $mu$m is detected on top of the strong continuum; although no strong emission or absorption lines are observed, we will seek to detect faint lines. The combined IRAC, IRS, and MIPS data of the R Mon/HH 39 system will help us to understand circumstellar disk processing, and the connection between jets, outflows, and HH objects.
Haro 2 , a nearby dwarf starburst dwarf galaxy with strong Ly alpha emission, hosts a starburst that has created outflows and filaments. The clear evidence for galactic outflow makes it an ideal candidate for studying the effects of feedback on molec
ular gas in a dwarf galaxy. We observed CO(2-1) in Haro 2 at the Submillimeter Array in the compact and extended configurations, and have mapped the molecular emission with velocity resolution 4.1 km/s and spatial resolution 2.0x1.6. With this significant increase of resolution over previous measurements we see that the molecular gas comprises two components: bright clumps associated with the embedded star clusters of the starburst, and fainter extended emission east of the starburst region. The extended emission coincides with an X-ray bubble and has the kinematic signatures of a shell or bubble expanding with velocity +-35 km/s. We suggest that the starburst winds that created the X-Ray bubble have entrained molecular gas, and that the apparent velocity gradient across the photometric axis is an artifact caused by the outflow. The molecular and X-ray activity is on the east of the galaxy and the ionized outflow and optical filaments are west; their relationship is not clear.
We present results of the narrow-band Halpha and [SII] imaging survey of Mon R1 association, performed with the 1 m Schmidt telescope of the Byurakan Observatory. Our observations covered one degree field near the center of the association. As a resu
lt of this study twenty new Herbig-Haro knots were discovered, some of which form collimated outflows. Among the most extended ones are HH 1203 and HH 1196, which have a length near one parsec or even more. In the course of search for the probable sources of HH objects several new nebulous stars were found. A list of all nebulous stellar objects in the Mon R1 area under study is presented, with the detailed description of most interesting objects. The near infrared data from the GLIMPSE360 and WISE surveys allowed to find several more objects, related to Mon R1, some of them with optical counterparts, as well as to outline at least three probable H_2 collimated flows from the deeply embedded pre-main-sequence objects. The probable members of Mon R1 were selected by their distances, their bolometric luminosities and extinctions were estimated. Among the outflow sources three embedded objects with luminosities greater than 10 L(sun) were found. The mean distance to Mon R1 complex is estimated as 715 pc.
