We present sub-arcsecond observations toward the massive star forming region G75.78+0.34. We used the Very Large Array to study the centimeter continuum and H2O and CH3OH maser emission, and the Owens Valley Radio Observatory and Submillimeter Array to study the millimeter continuum and recombination lines (H40alpha and H30alpha). We found radio continuum emission at all wavelengths, coming from three components: (1) a cometary ultracompact (UC) HII region with an electron density 3.7x10^4 cm^{-3}, excited by a B0 type star, and with no associated dust emission; (2) an almost unresolved UCHII region (EAST), located 6 arcsec to the east of the cometary UCHII region, with an electron density 1.3x10^5 cm^{-3}, and associated with a compact dust clump detected at millimeter and mid-infrared wavelengths; and (3) a compact source (CORE), located 2 arcsec to the southwest of the cometary arc, with a flux density increasing with frequency, and embedded in a dust condensation of 30 Msun. The CORE source is resolved into two compact and unresolved sources which can be well-fit by two homogeneous hypercompact HII regions each one photo-ionized by a B0.5 ZAMS star, or by free-free radiation from shock-ionized gas resulting from the interaction of a jet/outflow system with the surrounding environment. The spatial distribution and kinematics of water masers close to the CORE-N and S sources, together with excess emission at 4.5 mum and the detected dust emission, suggest that the CORE source is a massive protostar driving a jet/outflow.

We have conducted a search for ionized gas at 3.6 cm, using the Very Large Array, towards 31 Galactic intermediate- and high-mass clumps detected in previous millimeter continuum observations. In the 10 observed fields, 35 HII regions are identified,
of which 20 are newly discovered. Many of the HII regions are multiply peaked indicating the presence of a cluster of massive stars. We find that the ionized gas tends to be associated towards the millimeter clumps; of the 31 millimeter clumps observed, 9 of these appear to be physically related to ionized gas, and a further 6 have ionized gas emission within 1. For clumps with associated ionized gas, the combined mass of the ionizing massive stars is compared to the clump masses to provide an estimate of the instantaneous star formation efficiency. These values range from a few percent to 25%, and have an average of 7 +/- 8%. We also find a correlation between the clump mass and the mass of the ionizing massive stars within it, which is consistent with a power law. This result is comparable to the prediction of star formation by competitive accretion that a power law relationship exists between the mass of the most massive star in a cluster and the total mass of the remaining stars.
We analyze the intrinsic velocity dispersion properties of 648 star-forming galaxies observed by the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey, to explore the relation of intrinsic gas velocity dispersions with star formation
rates (SFRs), SFR surface densities ($rm{Sigma_{SFR}}$), stellar masses and stellar mass surface densities ($rm{Sigma_{*}}$). By combining with high z galaxies, we found that there is a good correlation between the velocity dispersion and the SFR as well as $rm{Sigma_{SFR}}$. But the correlation between the velocity dispersion and the stellar mass as well as $rm{Sigma_{*}}$ is moderate. By comparing our results with predictions of theoretical models, we found that the energy feedback from star formation processes alone and the gravitational instability alone can not fully explain simultaneously the observed velocity-dispersion/SFR and velocity-dispersion/$rm{Sigma_{SFR}}$ relationships.
IC 1459 is an early-type galaxy (ETG) with a rapidly counter-rotating stellar core, and is the central galaxy in a gas-rich group of spirals. In this work, we investigate the abundant ionized gas in IC 1459 and present new stellar orbital models to c
onnect its complex array of observed properties and build a more complete picture of its evolution. Using the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE), the optical integral field unit (IFU) on the Very Large Telescope (VLT), we examine the gas and stellar properties of IC 1459 to decipher the origin and powering mechanism of the galaxys ionized gas. We detect ionized gas in a non-disk-like structure rotating in the opposite sense to the central stars. Using emission-line flux ratios and velocity dispersion from full-spectral fitting, we find two kinematically distinct regions of shocked emission-line gas in IC 1459, which we distinguished using narrow ($sigma$ $leq$ 155 km s$^{-1}$) and broad ($sigma$ $>$ 155 km s$^{-1}$) profiles. Our results imply that the emission-line gas in IC 1459 has a different origin than that of its counter-rotating stellar component. We propose that the ionized gas is from late-stage accretion of gas from the group environment, which occurred long after the formation of the central stellar component. We find that shock heating and AGN activity are both ionizing mechanisms in IC 1459 but that the dominant excitation mechanism is by post-asymptotic giant branch stars from its old stellar population.
We use dust masses ($M_{dust}$) derived from far-infrared data and molecular gas masses ($M_{mol}$) based on CO luminosity, to calibrate proxies based on a combination of the galaxy Balmer decrement, disk inclination and gas metallicity. We use such
proxies to estimate $M_{dust}$ and $M_{mol}$ in the local SDSS sample of star-forming galaxies (SFGs). We study the distribution of $M_{dust}$ and $M_{mol}$ along and across the Main Sequence (MS) of SFGs. We find that $M_{dust}$ and $M_{mol}$ increase rapidly along the MS with increasing stellar mass ($M_*$), and more marginally across the MS with increasing SFR (or distance from the relation). The dependence on $M_*$ is sub-linear for both $M_{dust}$ and $M_{mol}$. Thus, the fraction of dust ($f_{dust}$) and molecular gas mass ($f_{mol}$) decreases monotonically towards large $M_*$. The star formation efficiency (SFE, the inverse of the molecular gas depletion time) depends strongly on the distance from the MS and it is constant along the MS. As nearly all galaxies in the sample are central galaxies, we estimate the dependence of $f_{dust}$ and $f_{gas}$ on the host halo mass and find a tight anti-correlation. As the region where the MS is bending is numerically dominated by massive halos, we conclude that the bending of the MS is due to lower availability of molecular gas mass in massive halos rather than a lower efficiency in forming stars.
We present molecular gas mass estimates for a sample of 13 local galaxies whose kinematic and star forming properties closely resemble those observed in $zapprox 1.5$ main-sequence galaxies. Plateau de Bure observations of the CO[1-0] emission line a
nd Herschel Space Observatory observations of the dust emission both suggest molecular gas mass fractions of ~20%. Moreover, dust emission modeling finds $T_{dust}<$30K, suggesting a cold dust distribution compared to their high infrared luminosity. The gas mass estimates argue that $zsim$0.1 DYNAMO galaxies not only share similar kinematic properties with high-z disks, but they are also similarly rich in molecular material. Pairing the gas mass fractions with existing kinematics reveals a linear relationship between $f_{gas}$ and $sigma$/$v_{c}$, consistent with predictions from stability theory of a self-gravitating disk. It thus follows that high gas velocity dispersions are a natural consequence of large gas fractions. We also find that the systems with lowest depletion times ($sim$0.5 Gyr) have the highest ratios of $sigma$/$v_{c}$ and more pronounced clumps, even at the same high molecular gas fraction.
