Characterisation of Galactic high-feedback habitats (A02)

• Subject Area: Astrophysics and Astronomy
• Term: since 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 500700252

A2 investigates the central structures of Galactic high-feedback regions, i.e. the most massive and active star-for ming regions. Using high-resolution, multi-frequency observations and comparing them with chemically post-processed MHD models of star-for ming regions, we want to shed light on the energetics of these regions: thermal structure, feedback energy in the form of mechanical (outflows, shocks) or radiative (IR, UV) contributions. The chemical composition will allow us to access also the past development, since there is a chemical memory, that can potentially be accessed through sophisticated modelling.
