AbstractWe show how the expansion of classical Galactic Hiiregions can trigger massive-star formation via the collect & collapse process. We give examples of this process at work. We suggest that it also works in a turbulent medium.

AbstractRecent detection of a large number of apparently isolated massive stars within the inner 80 pc of the Galactic Center has raised fundamental questions regarding massive star formation in a such a dense and harsh environment. Are these isolated stars the results of tidal interactions between clusters, are they escapees from a disrupted cluster, or do they represent a new mode of massive star formation in isolation? Noting that most of the isolated massive stars have spectral analogs in the Quintuplet Cluster, we have undertaken a combined analysis of the infrared spectra of both selected Quintuplet stars and the isolated objects using Gemini North spectroscopy. We present preliminary results, aiming at α-elements vs iron abundances, stellar properties, ages and radial velocities which will differentiate the top-heavy and star-formation scenarios.

The Magnetic Field

Zeeman measurements of OH masers are used to probe the magnetic field around regions of massive star formation. Previous observations suggested that OH maser field directions were aligned in a clockwise sense in the Milky Way, but recent data from a large-scale VLA survey do not support this hypothesis. However, these observations suggest that the magnetic field of the Milky Way is correlated on kiloparsec scales.

AbstractWe present the results of a Galaxy-wide survey for young massive stars still in the process of formation. Our data are consistent with a model in which the stars form through accretion disks with the overall Galactic star formation rate being 3 M⊙ per year.
