2 Star formation in GMCs Most stars form in GMCs K-S law: Gas surface density SF activities Gas SF is a key to understand the galaxy s evolution Initial conditions for high mass SF Need high Jeans mass (effective a~10km/s) Collision/Interaction process Magellanic Clouds + some local galaxies Recent high resolution observations + Uniform sample + Uniform sample of high mass formation from GMC scale
3 Magellanic Clouds D~ 50 kpc (one of the nearest) Different environment from the MW. High gas-dust ratio Low metallicity Active star formation Massive star formation Young populous clusters The Large Magellanic Cloud The Small Magellanic Cloud

Isolated High-mass star formation Figures - YSO:Gruendl At least 200pc away from NANTEN clouds The isolated YSOs are located in gas with an HI column density <10 21 cm -2, the region where the models of Krumolz et al. (2009) predict there should be virtually no star formation because of a low predicted molecular fraction. densities. See poster by R.
