We discuss differences in shapes, expansion velocities and fragmentation times of structures created by an energy deposition from a single Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) or an OB association to the ISM. After the initial inflation, supershells produced by GRBs are almost static or slowly expanding, contrary to more rapidly expanding supershells created by OB associations. We discuss the position of the energy source relative to the symmetry plane of the galaxy: observed arc-like structures can be the most dense parts of structures formed by an expansion from a source above or below the galactic plane. Arcs may also form, if the expansion takes place inside a giant HI cloud. We try to reproduce the size, the age and the average distance between OB associations in the Sextant region at the edge of LMC 4.

Super Star Clusters (Mecl > 10^5 Msol) are the largest stellar nurseries in our local Universe, containing hundreds of thousands to millions of young stars within a few light years. Many of these systems are found in external galaxies, especially in
pairs of interacting galaxies, and in some dwarf galaxies, but relatively few in disk galaxies like our own Milky Way. We show that a possible explanation for this difference is the presence of shear in normal spiral galaxies which impedes the formation of the very large and dense super star clusters but prefers the formation of loose OB associations possibly with a less massive cluster at the center. In contrast, in interacting galaxies and in dwarf galaxies, regions can collapse without having a large-scale sense of rotation. This lack of rotational support allows the giant clouds of gas and stars to concentrate into a single, dense and gravitationally bound system.
We present causal and positional evidence of triggered star formation in bright-rimmed clouds in OB associations, e.g., Ori OB1, and Lac OB1, by photoionization. The triggering process is seen also on a much larger scale in the Orion-Monoceros Comple
x by the Orion-Eridanus Superbubble. We also show how the positioning of young stellar groups surrounding the H II region associated with Trumpler 16 in Carina Nebula supports the triggering process of star formation by the collect-and-collapse scenario.
The COMPTEL observations of the diffuse galactic 1.809 MeV emission attributed to the radioactive decay of 26Al have confirmed the diffuse nature of this interstellar emission line. One of the most significant features of the reconstructed intensity
pattern is a flux enhancement in the direction of the Cygnus region. This region is fairly young and contains a wealth of massive stars, most of them grouped in the Cygnus OB associations. Multi-frequency model fitting strongly supports the hypothesis of massive stars and their descendent supernovae being the dominant sources of interstellar 26Al as observed by COMPTEL. Massive stars and supernovae are known to impart a large amount of kinetic energy into the surrounding ISM which lead to shockregions and large cavities. In addition, a large fraction of the electro-magnetic radiation of massive stars lies in the extreme ultra-violet causing photoionisation of the surrounding interstellar medium. We applied a population synthesis model in combination with an analytic model of the expansion of superbubbles to the Cygnus OB associations. The model predicts the expected 1.809 MeV flux and the gamma-ray line intensity due to interstellar 60Fe. We compute the sizes and expansion parameters of the expected HI-structures and the free-free emission intensities due to the photoionizing radiation from massive stars within this region of the sky. We discuss our present understanding of the Cygnus region with respect to the massive star census and history. Our model assigns about 70% of the 1.809 MeV intensity to six known OB associations, about 20% to known isolated sources and roughly 10% to an unkown diffuse component.
We investigate the formation of star clusters in an unbound GMC, where the supporting kinetic energy is twice as large as the clouds self-gravity. This cloud manages to form a series of star clusters and disperse, all within roughly 2 crossing times
(10 Myr), supporting recent claims that star formation is a rapid process. Simple assumptions about the nature of the star formation occurring in the clusters allows us to place an estimate for the star formation efficiency at about 5 to 10 %, consistent with observations. We also propose that unbound clouds can act as a mechanism for forming OB associations. The clusters that form in the cloud behave as OB subgroups. These clusters are naturally expanding from one another due to unbound nature of the flows that create them. The properties of the cloud we present here are are consistent with those of classic OB associations.
In this letter we suggest a scenario for simultaneous emission of gravitational-wave and $gamma$-ray bursts (GRBs) from soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs). we argue that both of the radiations can be generated by a super-Eddington accreting neutron star
s in X-ray binaries. In this model a supercritical accretion transient takes back onto the remnant star the disk leftover by the hydrodynamic instability phase of a low magnetized, rapidly rotating neutron star in a X-ray binary system. We estimate the rise timescale $Delta t_c = 0.21 ms$, minimum mass accretion rate needed to trigger the $gamma$-ray emission, $dot{M}_lambda = 4.5 times 10^{28} g$, and its effective associated temperature $T_{eff} = 740 keV$, and the timescale for repeating a burst of $gamma$-rays $Delta tau_R = 11.3 yr$. Altogether, we find the associated GW amplitude and frequency to be $h_c = 2.7 times 10^{-23}/{(Hz)}^{1/2}$ and $f_{gw} = 966 Hz$, for a source distance $sim 55 kpc$. Detectability of the pulses by t he forthcoming GW anntenas is discussed and found likely.
