I collect data from large telescopes and interferometers and apply data science methodology to probe the structure, astrochemistry, magnetic field, colliding clouds and low- velocity shocks of gas around star forming regions. I am also interested in understanding how astronomy has contributed to human development and how to use hands-on data science methodology to advance the teaching of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math subjects. On the business side, I am interested in commercializing research and boosting innovation, especially applications of quantum computing.

To investigate properties of [C ii] 158 µm emission of RCW 36 in a dense filamentary cloud. Methods. [C ii] observations of RCW 36 covering an area of ∼ 30′ ×30′ were carried out with a Fabry-Pérot spectrometer aboard a 100-cm balloon-borne far-infrared (IR) telescope with an angular resolution of 90′′. By using AKARI and Herschel images, the spatial distribution of the [C ii] intensity was compared with those of emission from the large grains and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). Results. The [C ii] emission is spatially in good agreement with shell-like structures of a bipolar lobe observed in IR images, which extend along the direction perpendicular to the direction of a cold dense filament. We found that the [C ii]–160 µm relation for RCW 36 shows higher brightness ratio of [C ii]/160 µm than that for RCW 38, while the [C ii]–9 µm relation for RCW 36 is in good agreement with that for RCW 38.

  • The Radio Spectral Index of the Vela Supernova Remnant

We have calculated the integrated flux densities of the different components of the Vela SNR between 30 and 8400 MHz. The calculations were done using the original brightness temperature maps found in the literature, a uniform criterion to select the background temperature, and a unique method to compute the integrated flux density. We have succeeded in obtaining separately, and for the first time, the spectrum of Vela Y and Vela Z. The index of the flux density spectrum of Vela X,VelaY and Vela Z are −0.39, −0.70 and −0.81, respectively. We also present a map of brightness temperature spectral index over the region, between 408 and 2417 MHz. This shows a circular structure in which the spectrum steepens from the centre (Vela X) towards the periphery (Vela Y and Vela Z). X-ray observations show also a circular structure. We compare our spectral indices with those previously published. Key words. ISM: supernova remnants – ISM: Vela X – radio continuum: ISM 1.

  • X-Rays and Stellar Populations
    X-rays and stellar populations Francesco Damiani Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica Osservatorio Astronomico di Palermo X-Rays from Star Forming Regions Palermo, May 19, 2009 Outline Early X-ray observations of clusters: the Einstein Observatory X-ray images of star-forming regions and serendipitous discovery of pre-main-sequence stars with no strong emission lines (WTTS). Emerging trends: younger clusters are X-ray brighter; younger stars are strongly variable in X-rays. ROSAT and the first All-Sky X-ray survey (RASS) in soft X-rays Bright X-ray sources far from star-forming regions as post-T Tauri or runaway T Tauri star candidates? More WTTS candidates in other regions, all nearby. XMM and Chandra: reaching farther away ...and probing a much larger cluster “parameter space”, up to massive SFRs with Chandra. Identifications and follow-ups; X-ray selection efficiency compared to other selection methods. Detection of cluster members over a factor ~ 100 in mass. Some results Cluster morphologies; age spreads and sequences; mass segregation; cluster stellar initial mass function; disk frequency vs. age and environment. Palermo, May 19, 2009 Francesco Damiani Einstein observations of SFR: X-ray images of Tau-Aur, Oph, CrA, Cha I fields (all within 160 pc) yielded detection of tens of known T Tauri stars. A higher-than-elsewhere density of X-ray sources was noted, often identified with uncatalogued stars. Optical follow-ups resulted in finding many tens new PMS stars in each region, showing the same high X-ray activity level as already known “classical” T Tauri Stars (CTTS), but much less (or absent) optical emission lines and IR/UV excesses: these were called weak-line T Tauri stars (WTTS).

Received ; in original form ABSTRACT The AAO/UKST SuperCOSMOS Hα Survey (SHS) was, when completed in 2003, a power- ful addition to extant wide-field surveys. The combination of areal coverage, spatial resolution and sensitivity in a narrow imaging band, still marks it out today as an excellent resource for the astronomical community. The 233 separate fields are available online in digital form, with each field covering 25 square degrees. The SHS has been the motivation for equiva- lent surveys in the north, and new digital Hα surveys now beginning in the south such as VPHAS+. It has been the foundation of many important discovery projects with the Mac- quarie/AAO/Strasbourg Hα planetary nebula project being a particularly successful example. However,the full potential of the SHS has been hamperedby lack of a clear routeto acceptable flux calibration from the base photographic data.

Massive stars play a dominant role in the process of clustered star formation, with their feedback into the molecular cloud through ionizing radiation, stellar winds, and outflows. The formation process of massive stars is poorly constrained because of their scarcity, the short formation timescale, and obscuration. By obtaining a census of the newly formed stellar population, the star formation history of the young cluster and the role of the massive stars within it can be unraveled. Aims. We aim to reconstruct the formation history of the young stellar population of the massive star-forming region RCW 36. We study several dozen individual objects, both photometrically and spectroscopically, looking for signs of multiple generations of young stars and investigating the role of the massive stars in this process. Methods. We obtain a census of the physical parameters and evolutionary status of the young stellar population.

  • Star Formation in Nearby Clouds (Sfincs): X-Ray and Infrared Source Catalogs and Membership

Bate Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Exeter, Stocker Road, Exeter, Devon EX4 4SB, UK Gordon P. Garmire Huntingdon Institute for X-ray Astronomy, LLC, 10677 Franks Road, Huntingdon, PA 16652, USA ABSTRACT The Star Formation in Nearby Clouds (SFiNCs) project is aimed at providing detailed study of the young stellar populations and star cluster formation in nearby 22 star forming regions (SFRs) for comparison with our earlier MYStIX survey of richer, more distant clusters. As a foundation for the SFiNCs science studies, here, homogeneous data analyses of the Chandra X-ray and Spitzer mid- infrared archival SFiNCs data are described, and the resulting catalogs of over 15300 X-ray and over 1630000 mid-infrared point sources are presented. On the basis of their X-ray/infrared properties and spatial distributions, nearly 8500 point sources have been identified as probable young stellar members of the SFiNCs regions.

The HII region RCW 36, located in the Vela molecular ridge, contains a young star cluster (∼1 Myr-old) and two O-type stars.
