We study the gas and dust involved in the formation of stars and their clusters, mainly through the use observational Radio Astronomy techniques. We are also interested in the production of observables from theoretical models and their comparison to observations. Our daily work makes use of large computers to process …

The subtleties of measuring a Core Mass Function
Hypercompact but not hyperdense?
The paper of student Rudy Rivera-Soto appeared in the The Astrophysical Journal! Link here.
Rudy did an excellent Master's thesis. He did a thorough study of the radio free-free continuum, Hydrogen recombination-, and molecular lines from the hypercompact HII regions in W51A, using data from the VLA and ALMA previously …

Our paper "A Massive Young Runaway Star in W49 North" by Rodríguez, Galván-Madrid, Sanchez-Bermudez & De Pree was published on The Astrophysical Journal. You can find it here.
We found large proper motions over a 18-yr time interval in the cometary UC HII region known as C. These motions are equivalent …

Our paper "On the Effects of Self-Obscuration in the (Sub-)Millimeter Spectral Indices and Appearance of Protostellar Disks" was publised on The Astrophysical Journal. You can find it here.
In summary, we show that protostellar (class 0 and I) disks likely are more massive than usually inferred under the optically-thin …

The thesis paper of Andrés Inzquierdo entitled "Radiative transfer modelling of W33A MM1: 3D structure and dynamics of a complex massive star-forming region" was published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS) on August 2018. The paper can be found here.
Andrés did an amazing job, not only …
