JWST observations identify all massive young embedded star clusters in the Antennae, revealing they are extremely young, heavily obscured, and account for ~60% of the ionizing luminosity.

Massive stars in the Milky Way form over Myr timescales that increase with final mass, inferred from joint LF fitting of compact HII regions and OB stars under the inertial-inflow model.
New CO(2-1) observations of 112 clumps in outer Galactic clouds (14-23 kpc) yield velocity dispersion-size and mass-size power laws plus a declining virial parameter trend indicating most clumps are gravitationally unbound.
Simulations of an NGC 300-like galaxy find exponential distributions of feedback-driven bubble lifetimes and sizes that increase with galactocentric radius, plus matching Hα predictions.
