In this article, the detailed structure of the interaction of a strong stellar wind with the interstellar medium is presented, including the effects of thermal conduction between the hot interior and the cold shell of swept-up interstellar matter.Abstract:
The detailed structure of the interaction of a strong stellar wind with the interstellar medium is presented. First, an adiabatic similarity solution is given which is applicable at early times. Second, a similarity solution is derived which includes the effects of thermal conduction between the hot (about 1 million K) interior and the cold shell of swept-up interstellar matter. This solution is then modified to include the effects of radiative energy losses. The evolution of an interstellar bubble is calculated, including the radiative losses. The quantitative results for the outer-shell radius and velocity and the column density of highly ionized species such as O VI are within a factor 2 of the approximate results of Castor, McCray, and Weaver (1975). The effect of stellar motion on the structure of a bubble, the hydrodynamic stability of the outer shell, and the observable properties of the hot region and the outer shell are discussed.read more

Probing Star Formation at Low Metallicity: The Radio Emission of Super Star Clusters in SBS0335-052
TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution radio continuum observations of the nascent starburst in the metal-poor galaxy SBS 0335-052 were presented, where two discrete and luminous star-forming regions are detected in the south of the galaxy that appear to be associated with massive star clusters previously identified at optical wavelengths.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used ALMA to image the 350 GHz dust continuum and molecular line emission from NGC 253 at 2-3 pc FWHM resolution, showing that gas still constitutes a large fraction of the overall mass in these sources.

Star formation efficiency as a function of metallicity: from star clusters to galaxies
TL;DR: In this paper, the star formation efficiency in a protocluster clump is regulated by metallicity-dependent stellar winds from the newly formed massive OB stars (M� ≥ 5M � ) on their main sequence.

Ionization parameter as a diagnostic of radiation and wind pressures in h ii regions and starburst galaxies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider a number of physical effects which combine to determine the apparent value of in observations encompassing one or many H II regions, and find that radiation pressure confinement sets the upper limit seen in individual regions.

Understanding hadronic $\gamma$-ray emission from supernova remnants
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate how the nature of the circumstellar medium affects the evolution of a supernova remnant and its $\gamma-$ray emission, stressing the role of magnetic field amplification in the prediction of expected particle spectra.
